Portland artist Jo Hamilton (previously) has a number of new crocheted portraits up on her website including a recently shot stop-motion video detailing the progress of a piece that’s one party freaky and two parts amazing. Hamilton was interviewed earlier this month in Vogue. (by Christopher )
Pirate TechnicsThe Baobab Tree.
Standing 18 meters (or 46 feet) tall, is an awesome new tree sculpture made of 80 different types of fabric. The Baobab Tree, created by Pirate Technics, was inspired by Africa’s baobab tree, which is the oldest living specimen in Africa and has long been a symbol for community. Rings about 16 feet wide were used to build the tree before it was wrapped with fabric. It sits outside the Southbank Centre in London, England. (by alice)
The Mixtable by Jeff Skierka
Comprised of maple and walnut wood with a thin sheet of plexiglass covering it, the Mixtape Table is an homage to the audio Love Letter of the 80’s and the 90’s. Pour one out for your fallen friend the Mixtape: the only place in time where Bon Jovi, Candlebox, and Slayer converged for a nonstop party in your Honda Accord.
