Each little bird is re-crafted from a salvaged chair arm or table leg or some other discarded piece of wood. The artist is Lars Beller Fjetland from Norway.

I don't know anything about it except it was posted on Knithacker by someone (hopefully the artist?) named Elayne. Miss Elayne, if this is your creation, we salute your genius. Miss Elayne, if this isn't yours, we salute your excellent taste. I love this as is and I love the artistic possiblities of modern needlework overlaid on vintage globes. I want to see more. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%; text-align: center;">As our reading becomes digital and the paper book becomes obsolete, I'm seeing more and more artists using old books as raw materials. </span><a href="http://www.briangennett.com/" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%; text-align: center;" target="_blank">Brian Gennett</a><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%; text-align: center;"> is one of these, and his mosaics stand on their own as stunning works of art.

<span style="font-family: verdana;">My beloved Oakland has a crime problem. As I warily parked my car in a neighborhood where the sidewalks sparkled with the evidence of previous car break-ins, I had a bad feeling. My instincts proved right, and I returned to my car to find my front seat littered with broken glass and the contents of my glove box. By the next day, the window was repaired, the car was freshly vacuumed, and I was moving on.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;">Going through this process, I kept visualizing all that broken glass and its artistic potential. Today's post features the work of <a href="http://ellenblakeley.com/" target="_blank">Ellen Blakeley</a>, who specializes in beauty made from shards. My favorites are the ones with images imbedded behind the glass. Enjoy.</span><br />

I've seen other slide lamps, but nothing so fantastic as this Film lamp by <a href="http://www.davidegroppi.com/site.php?ID_L3_menu=191&language=eng" target="_blank">Davide Groppi</a>. They use LED bulbs and can be linked up to form long, candy-colored strings of awesome (or black and white, depending on your choice of slides).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Just discovered, <a href="http://slate-ish.com/" target="_blank">Slate-ish</a>, which is a triple green product (I just made that up--It's not a technical term.) </span></span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 14px;">Slate-ish is made from construction scraps instead of new materials</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 14px;">The source material (Richlite, Paperstone) is already an eco-friendly material, which builders and architects are using to gain LEED points in their projects.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 14px;">The company has a buyback program (or a buy program) where they will gladly buy your countertop scraps to make them into tiles.</span></li>
</ol>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The tiles look like slate, but are actually a combination of paper and resin, laminated and pressed into a solid form. The material is durable, often used in countertops and skateboard ramps. The tiles are cut from the scraps leftover from construction projects--sink cut-outs, oddly shaped corners, anything too small or strange to be useful. </span></span></div>

They regularly post easy, well documented, and industrially styled DIY projects for you to add to that list of "I'd like to make that!" Fond of simple materials--concrete, plywood--they come up with some really interesting and modern shapes and provide enough detail for you to modify the projects for you own needs. In this case, easy instructions to size the cubby to fit your own particular size dog. Currently on their site they have several projects using faceted shapes, but I wanted to share </span><span style="font-size: 85%;">this fantastic dog house.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;">Tricia has been doing some very cool weaving projects (details and photos to come very soon), and I've been succumbing to my weakness for chairs in need of love. I started to mash the two together and have been exploring weaving and chairs and reclaimed materials. In my website wanderings, I found some really lovely examples. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Every so often you see one of those dresses made from something crazy (vegetables, pop tabs, AmEx gold cards), and they look good on the mannequin or in the fashion show, but they are more costume than real life. Then you see something like this, where an Aussie fashion designer turned an inside joke with her boyfriend into a wedding dress. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">In case you can't tell from the pix, the dress is made of bread tags. Not sure what those are? When you buy a loaf of bread from the grocery story, it's often secured with a little plastic tab that has the best-by date printed on it. <a href="http://stephanielouwatson.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Stephanie Watson</a> and her boyfriend saved these each week. As their collection grew, they joked that when there were enough to cover a wedding dress, they would get married. Friends and family helped out, and 10,000 tags later, they couple was married, and the bride wore this. </span></span></div>

In case you don't want to click through, here's the quick notes version: The took the basic handled water bottle and *somehow* re-molded it into a birdhouse. Somehow they managed to hold onto the opening. The resulting product is adorable. </span><br />

This take is fresh enough to work for any modern retail brand, and yet completely in line with their mission. </span><br />
