Sometimes simplicity is a wonderful thing. This memo block is so…for lack of a better descriptive adjective…neat.

The wood design is incredibly well done. I’d love one of these on my desk.

I’ve seen in it posted in more than one place, so my “don’t regurgitate” instincts perked up. But this installation is just so darn gorgeous that I can’t help posting it. I look at a lot of paper craft, and this may be the finest castle I’ve ever seen.

Watarou Itou is a young Tokyo art student who clearly has a bright future in the art world! The installation is entitled Umi no Ue no Oshiro (A Castle On the Ocean).

It took over four years for Itou to complete the project. It is intricately electrically wired for a variety of lighting options (it also features a ferris wheel and train).


More large images at the Source. The different angles and lighting schemes are really worth a look.
I’m so delighted with Dan McPharlin’s series of miniature cardboard models.

The detail is lovely (and cardboard is not the easiest medium to work with, especially in small sizes). Don’t you want to just sit down and make some sounds on these pretty machines?

Perfect for my teeny tiny hands (not my hand in the photo, of course)!
