I have no space for wall decals, but these geeky designs from Cut N Paste made my heart go pitter patter.
This one is my favorite: “How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.” An inspiring quote by Niels Bohr together with an image of particles’ collision inside a bubble chamber.
Oh, to have my walls speak in equations and schematics…

When most folks are barbecuing and lounging on the beach in the hot sun…I tend to get pangs of Halloween cravings. So here is a little taste of autumn (or anytime) goodness from The Shadow Farm.
Creepy, adorable little creatures…
I’ve never been much of a sculptor, but seeing these creations inspires me. It must be such fun to make these!
The Pictoral Arts has a nice little post about early 20th Century costumes for musical revues. Here are my favorites among them.
Look at this flamingo!
And an ostrich (for some reason Seinfeld quotes are flooding my head “They say ostrich has less fat, but you eat more of it.”):
Tea time!
See a few more here.
I have no info on this incredible piece expect for the fact that it seems to have come from a college sculpture class.
Ideas anyone?
I was just admiring a few of Robert Mickelsen’s glass sculptures.
I believe this one is my favorite. Such an elegant, delicate, phonograph…
Strange, but compelling…
Anatomical!
I like this for some reason. Not sure why it appeals to me.

I think I’ve posted one of these in a Desktop Goodies post, but it’s time to show the whole fabulous set.
Never has toilet paper been so all-encompassing. Soft-Weve inspires entire rooms! Evening gowns around the house!
Heck, I’d coordinate everything with my toilet paper too for laugh one day…if it weren’t white…and who knows when I last wore white?
What an interesting interactive installation…
From the website:
Please Smile is an exhibit involving five robotic skeleton arms that change their gestures depending on a viewer’s facial expressions. It consists of a microcontroller, a camera, a computer, five external power supplies, and five plastic skeleton arms, each with four motors. It incorporated elements from mechanical engineering, computer vision perception to serve artistic expression with a robot.
Audiences interact with “Please smile” in three different ways. When no human falls within the view of the camera, the five robotic skeleton arms choose the default position, which is bending their elbows and wrists near the wall. When a human steps within the view of the camera, the arms point at the human and follow his/her movements. Then when someone smiles in front of it, the five arms wave their hands. Through artwork such as “Please smile,” I would like to foster positive audience behaviors.
Paolo Pedroni has a lovely little series of eye catching digital paintings.
Wide-eyed, haunting creatures in vibrant color…almost innocent…ever so slightly disconcerting.
These images will definitely appeal to fans of Natalie Shau.

I’m the kind of girl who stumbles upon pictures of The Barbie Dream Hearse by accident amidst my regular web perusals.
I forget what search made this come up, but I’m glad it did. From the website:
The Barbie Dream Hearse is a fun alternative to your regular means of transportation. What began as a simple play on words turned into a full-fledged business concept, serving Seattle area ladies (and self-confident gentlemen!) with a unique, avant-garde way to spend the night on the town.
I don’t have any immediate plans to be in the Seattle area (though I’d like to visit), but this shirt is going my wish list.
Has anyone ridden in the Barbie Dream Hearse? If so, I’d love to hear about it.
