School Chairs

The return of authentic craft pleases me so.  Ellen Calvert's reclaimed 1930's school chairs are beautiful.  As are her cushions using hand knitted fabric and vintage cross-stitched table linens.

Big Knits

This fabulous home belongs to a couple in Finland.  Apparently the father is a carpenter and the mother knits these incredible masterpieces.  I need her to come and create some magic in my home.  Amazing.

Stitched

The author of this lovely blog was lucky enough to receive this fabulous stitched map from a clever friend of hers.  I'm so jealous, I wish they were for sale.

Just because it's so pretty.

Car Weaving

Holy crap.  How friggin' amazing is this.  Basket weaver Annie Ross, along with assistants Jenni Tiles and Robert Pictou, are using bark salvaged from urban forests cleared for condominiums, along with plastic strapping and wool, to wrap a 1956 Nash Metropolitan car.  Awesome.

The Scout

I recently stumbled across a fabulous site called The Scout - a lifestyle and design-conscious site about life in NYC.

"The Scout will feature reviews and articles by your intrepid team of culture-seekers who will weed out the mundane and the overly trendy to bring you the very best, the most unique, and the most inspiring that the city has to offer, with an eye to both the modern and the traditional, the high-end and the humble. Our writers and editors appreciate the craftsmanship of Danish modern furniture but still lust after a pair of limited-edition Nikes. We’ll scarf down a decadent deep-fried hot dog one night and indulge in a perfect chocolate souffle the next."

Brilliant.  Well worth a read.

Common Objects

Lauren DiCioccio embroiders common objects.  In her words, she tries to "provoke a pang of nostalgia for the familiar physicality of these objects."  Amazing.

I'm loving these knitted trainers by London design company 'This Is Studio'.  They were part of the Nike78 project, an initiative that challenges the functionality of Nike trainers.  More detail here.

The Envelope Project

Wonderful idea by Pip at Meet Me At Mike's: The Envelope Project.

Anyone can send in an envelope containing a few cute crafty things (like ribbon, vintage paper, feathers, stickers, anything really) and Pip will upload a photo of each envelope and its contents to Flickr, for six weeks.

At the end of that period, she will draw one envelope randomly and the original owner of that envelope will receive every single envelope and its contents.  Lovely idea.

Craft Parlour

Bugger.  Someone's gone and made the place I've dreamed about opening.  At least they've done a better job than I would have. 

The Papered Parlour in Camden was created by two visual artists and is home to workshops and exhibitions for artists, designers and musicians.  Shame I no longer live in Primrose Hill.

Bags that look good and feel good too - great idea.



They're SEW tote bags - SEW stands for 'Supporting + Empowering Women'. 100% recycled, they're part of a project to support HIV+ women in Tanzania, providing the often stigmatised women employment as well as valuable business skills. Brilliant.

Cutting

The clever Famille Summerbelle have kindly shared a video of the making of one of their stunning maps of New York.  It shows around 20 hours of paper cutting, sped up to around 2 minutes.  Clever sods.
