I’d likely pass out if I received this.
Warning: extreme geekery ahead!

I am crazy about all of Hine Mizushima’s work. She creates some of the best, most imaginative needle felted projects out there in the craft universe. My new favorites…these lab specimens:

I rarely post interviews, no less interviews that run an hour and a half long, which should test to the quality of this video here.
Stephen Colbert and Neil DeGrasse Tyson are both extraordinarily entertaining and gifted human beings. Putting them together makes for a comedic, informative alchemy unlike others I’ve seen.
My dear fellow geeks, do not miss this if you haven’t already seen it!

How I wish I could visit the Science Museum of London to see these incredible wax anatomical figures, originally created circa 1810-1830.
I never considered myself much of a doily person until I stumbled upon this series.
Doilies is a series of computerized machine embroidered doilies. The design of each doily is based on a different viral structure.
The lace doily has traditionally referenced designs and motifs from nature. Furthermore, these decorative objects would be heirlooms, handed down from one generation to the next.
The work explores the “domestication” of microbial and biomedical imagery. Many recent events, epidemics, and commercial products have brought this imagery into our living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.
Bio-terrorism, SARS, and antibacterial soaps alike have all heightened our awareness of the microbial world. Doilies serve as a metaphor for the way we have adapted our everyday lives to these now everyday concerns. Here domestic artifacts and heirlooms manifest the psychological heredity of our cultural anxieties.
This is exactly the kind of veiled piece I love having in my home. Beauty to the untrained eye…worlds beneath to the knowing observer.
Another wonderful piece is the Brain Doily, of course.
My apologies for the lack of posting yesterday. Some days just don’t allow for blog time!
Absolutely love this:
Space Cat instantly brought giant smiles to my face.
I hope this next one is purely literal (as indicated by cover). If you’re as cool as Space Cat, there is no need for hallucinogens.
A lesson every child should learn.
1831 informative volume:
Awesome.
Yikes, Christian Crusade Publications.
As a hermit, I always make a point to have some wild friends. It makes for good stories.
Now it’s time to get political.
…Although we use the term “beautiful” rather loosely.
Perfectly polite.
As I post these covers, I’d like to thank Carrie and Fritz for peppering my email inbox with fun vintage books this week!
I just want to share two shirts I enjoy from the delightfully geeky Big Brother Little Brother Shirts
I’m always partial to atomic particles.
And even though I’m arguably a little old for this shirt…I’d still rock it.
See more creations here.
