Besides the harmonica, the glass harp is an instrument that I’ve always wanted to learn to play. Not really. But, Lernert Engelberts and Sanders Plug do. And did quite well. Watch them work those glasses to a rendition of the horrendous pop song “No limit” by 2unlimited. But if there is one thing to be learned from this project, its the words of the creators themselves “Commit and dedicate yourself to even the most stupid ideas that come to mind.”

Kitschy christmas cupcakes by Lisa Makes that are too cute to eat.
Personally, I get anxiety when I see too many folders on a desktop, so this minimal six grid desktop designed by Sarah France is the perfect solution. Download it and customize each section to your liking. Genius.
The talented Miss Franz at it again. Nice job!
Conceptual design for a exhibition that showcases 12 photographers who just happen to be blind. A common misconception that Magdalena Tjaneski wanted to correct through her designs is that the blind see constant darkness, which is untrue. They imagine color. So while their idea of leaves may be pink instead of green, they still live in a colorful world. Great work.

As a youngster, my friends and I would go into the fields nearby and pick blackberries, then step on lizards tails and watch them squirm, then go back to picking blackberries. A very fond memory. And while I’m pretty sure the Fallen Fruit collective doesn’t promote reptile torture, they do believe in the idea of public fruit. This concept began as an activist art project where people would map public fruit in neighborhoods, encouraging the public to sample and harvest fruit. They believe fruit should be a resource that is commonly shared and often times, people have wonderful stories about fruit, the history of where the seeds or tree came from.

This just in. An intriguing experiment by Tim Belonax where he takes the daily San Francisco Chronicle and everyday for a month, creates a collage using elements of the newspaper. Not only do I love the fact he’s repurposing newspapers, I also thoroughly enjoy the little details added to each description about what section of the newspaper he used and how long it took. And is anyone else in shock that we actually paid over $4.00 a gallon for gas!!! (repeating exclamination points extremely necessary) Holy mole. See his other entries here.
