icy land

Studiobility in Iceland has a running exhibit of Gudrun Lilja Gunnlaugsdottir an Icelandic designer. Coolhunting made a post of her wares and I cannot get over the curiosity cabinet. It is so clean and functional, but intricate and vibrant. The overall project, titled "Soul of a Nation" will exhibit at the Reykjavik Art Museum in 2009. Mark your calender.

you know what they say

they, or maybe just me, say. those who cant design pay way too much for shit. some of these items below i honestly don't know the price for, but given their provenance and the fact that they come from s/s08 it's safe to guess that its more than my rent. so, arts and crafts will rule my life this winter. so here are some projects ranging from easy you know what peasy to may-need-some-time-or-booze-aided-patience-and/or-a-brainy-friend to make this work. you can even make an arts and crafts party of it if you are feeling particularly hostess-y. if so. invite me, i'm a good party attendee and have some applicable craft skills.
