What a lovely winter project! from Knitch

Also check out their FREE patterns, which are quite good!

I've actually been working on some knitting of my own. I have like 3 projects on needles right now. Too bad I'm so slow and easily distracted....

Wisdom by Andrew Zuckerman

One of my favorite and most influential quotations ever is included in this film/book:

"Inspiration is for amateurs. I just get to work."
--Chuck Close

Michael Neff: Chalk

"Photographs of things you might otherwise miss"

These images from Michael Neff's Chalk series really intrigued me. One of those times where I stop everything and say--I need to buy one of those photographs right now. Unfortunately, I can't--because if I had all the artwork I wanted my kids wouldn't eat--but this work definitely made the top of my list.

Ink & Spindle

What is better than hand screen printed, limited edition fabric? Hmm....maybe the fact that it is also environmentally friendly.

Cross Stitch a Banksy

Street art in cross stitch is the latest in subversive cross stitch. How cool is it to be able to cross stitch a Banksy - rather than picture of a kitten holding some flowers?

The patterns are provided free and are surprisingly simple to do (although it’s a whole world of pain reading the charts).

I would recommend doing your street art cross stitch with a bottle of Jack Daniels next to you. It will help the hours fly by.

Also if you are not a fan of Banksy then this cool site also offers patterns in guns, Michael Jackson and for those with a fetish out there people wearing gas masks.

Lazerian Lampshades

The talented Lazerian duo of Liam Hopkins and Richard Sweeney continue to amaze with their exquisite ‘Light Modulator.’ Certainly not content with being called a mere lampshade, this computer-generated form is carved from birch plywood using a CNC router. The construction is composed of 26 individual units to create its lace-like symmetry.

Lazerian works out of their studio in Manchester, UK, which used to be a hat factory.

Chain Reaction from Honda

I love chain reactions. They are fun. And hard to do. My favorite is The Way Things Go by artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss. This link is a little bit of it, but the entire video is really worth watching. I had to do a chain reaction for an art course and I thought it was completely pointless at the time...but now I get it.

i left this here for you to read

This is a great project by Tim Devin, a Boston-based conceptual artist and writer.

From the website:

About this magazine
Each month or so, we release a new issue of "i left this here for you to read." We then leave them in public places (such on park benches, on buses, in airports and dentists' offices...) for anyone to take--free of charge.

Currently, we distribute our magazine in Boston, New York, and LA. We only print about 50 copies of each issue, and don't reprint any past issues. Sorry, we can't mail you any copies--we only send them to contributors.

Email us at i.left.this.here@gmail.com

They accept submissions of writing, art, and even objects. And they automatically include every single thing they receive. Of course I sent them something! Go here for more info.
