Scribbler on the Wall – Charlotte Mann

Feeling down because you can’t afford the latest must-have chair, your partner is allergic to the cats you love, or the view from your window is less than stellar?

Why not just grab a black marker and paint the things you crave on your white walls instead? That’s what London artist Charlotte Mann does, which has garnered her a spot on the shortlist for the British Design Awards 2009 in the Surface Design of the Year category.

clipper's remarks: My daughter just studied Van Gogh's Starry Night in art class and the teacher asked every student to draw their own version of Starry Night. Her picture is wonderful; I might frame it.

Create Polaroids with Poladroid

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 15:11:38 GMT

clipped by: bignosemousie
clipper's remarks: I'm testing out a new application, Poladroid. Download the app for free and then drag and drop your digital photos. It creates a Polaroid-like image. For the fun factor, it takes awhile for your image to "develop" or you can shake the picture for faster development, just like a real Polaroid.

Go here to try it out.

Mystery on Fifth Avenue

clipper's remarks: This is such an strange tale. Imagine your architect designing a mystery into your walls and furniture for you to discover one day.

It's long but worth it.

PUZZLER Eric Clough, the designer, turned the high-end renovation into a Rube Goldberg-like contraption. More Photos »

THINGS are not as they seem in the 14th-floor apartment on upper Fifth Avenue.

They are living in a typical habitat for the sort of New Yorkers they appear to be: an enormous ’20s-era co-op with Central Park views

But some of that furniture and some of those walls conceal secrets — messages, games and treasures — that make up a Rube Goldberg maze of systems and contraptions conceived by a young architectural designer named Eric Clough, whose ideas about space and domestic living derive more from Buckminster Fuller than Peter Marino.

The apartment even comes with its own book,

It has its own soundtrack, too

There is no other art

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 17:56:59 GMT

clipped by: bignosemousie
clipper's remarks: the way worms in the garden

tunnel ceaselessly so the earth can breathe

and bees ransack this world into being,

while owls and poets stalk shadows,

our loneliest labors under the moon.

There are mothers

for everything, and the sea

is a mother too,

whispering and whispering to us

long after we have stopped listening.

I stopped and let myself lean

a moment, against the blue

shoulder of the air. The work

of my heart

is the work of the world's heart.

There is no other art.

- Alison Luterman

Invisible Work

Because no one could ever praise me enough,

because I don't mean these poems only

but the unseen

unbelievable effort it takes to live

the life that goes on between them,

I think all the time about invisible work.

About the young mother on Welfare

I interviewed years ago,

who said, "It's hard.

You bring him to the park,

run rings around yourself keeping him safe,

cut hot dogs into bite-sized pieces for dinner,

and there's no one

to say what a good job you're doing,

how you were patient and loving

for the thousandth time even though you had a

headache."

And I, who am used to feeling sorry for myself

because I am lonely,

when all the while,

as the Chippewa poem says, I am being carried

by great winds across the sky,

thought of the invisible work that stitches up the

world day and night,

the slow, unglamorous work of healing,
