Ragtrader

June 1st, 2010

In browsing Etsy, I came across some great creations from Ragtrader. The vintage style rings are ADJUSTABLE (a real treat because I have unreasonably slender fingers that no adult rings come close to fitting).

Although I’m not a Taurus, I would happily wear the Taurus Zodiac Ring, as a reminder of (or fitting tribute to) those nearest and dearest to me born under this sign.

Also in Scorpio (another favorite) and Leo.

This vintage Going Steady Charm Necklace is pretty amazing. Both halves of the couple appear to be male (perhaps one has a 1950’s bob haircut if it’s a hetero charm?), but I like it. I’m an old fashioned romantic.

The Silver Love Letter Necklace appeals to me because I like jewelry filled with secrets.

Sock Dreams (Again)

May 30th, 2010

Some of you may know, I do not have the stereotypical female lust for shopping. But I have an odd love of interesting socks. Most days my socks are plain black, yet I’ve developed a bit of a collection for special occasions. I should really ask Sock Dreams if they want to sponsor this blog!

Here are the latest on my wish list:

Peacock Feather Knee Highs

Fairytale Knee Highs

Owl Knee High

Chat Noir Knee Highs (I already have this painting on a poster and shirt)

Lurex Sneaker Socks

These might be a little high on the cute factor for me to purchase (after all, I only like to bust out a full-on *cute* accessory a few times a year), but I can smile at them from afar.

Perhaps I just like the idea that someone chose a Manatee as a sock subject.

Cupcakes

Ninjas

Since I can’t blow close to $100 on socks to get them all…does anyone have particular favorites out of these? I’m leaning toward Peacock Feathers and Chat Noir at least.
Novel-T

May 15th, 2010

As a tiny picked-last-in-gym-class woman, I can’t wear a “sporty” shirt without instantly turning myself into a walking piece of ironic comedy. However, I could wear these Novel-T shirts with pride! Literary geekiness FTW!

They have some great authors. I’d love to see Huxley, Nabokov and Orwell in the collection too.

The Periodic Table of Fictional Elements

April 9th, 2010

What a wonderful poster by Russel Walks: a periodic table of fictional elements.

The elements names are fantastic. Crapcrapium, Wonderflonium…

If only I had a space to hang this!

Build Your Own Ratmobile

March 30th, 2010

This could very well go on my project list, which means that some lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view) individual may eventually receive it as a gift.

Who wants to build a Ratmobile with me?

Brain Freeze Ice Cube Molds

February 23rd, 2010

I don’t need any more encouragement to throw some sort of science themed party…yet here it is.

These would look great in some fresh punch!

Little fact: I’ve never actually experienced the phenomenon of “brain freeze.” I think I eat and drink too slowly.

Thomas Woodruff’s Freak Parade

February 19th, 2010

The enigmatic and fantastic Thomas Woodruff has released a new project: Freak Parade.

Each detailed piece functions on its own, while connecting to the rest of the “parade.” Animal, vegetable, mineral, musical, ethereal, mythological and fantastical images mingle in these delightfully dark images.

I have to be careful about spending money on too many books, but this one is going on the wish list. I’m sure it looks stunning in print.

Camille Rose Garcia Illustrates Alice in Wonderland

February 15th, 2010

The art world has been buzzing about Camille Rose Garcia’s illustrations in the new Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Hi-Fructose just had a behind the scenes look that made me all the more eager to get my hands on a copy.

I swear, this woman can do no wrong.

Morphologica

December 15th, 2009

I can’t spend an extra penny right now, but I wish I could order one of these fantastic double helix necklaces from Morphologica.

Each piece starts as a sketch on paper, gets digitally modeled and laser cut.

Love the elegant lettering…

Ork Posters: The Brain

November 28th, 2009

Ork Posters, why must you taunt me with your designs? I’ve already posted about the company, and now…

I absolutely love the new brain map, yet still can’t get myself to throw down $18 plus shipping for a small print.
