Tag You're It: Copper

So, the latest activity here at Design...Stat is a little game we are playing of Tag. Each day one of us will tag the other with a topic (yesterday's was copper which I'm posting today). Then we both have to find four fun things based on the topic!

So Familiar and Wonderful

There are just so many things you can find on Etsy.com it's ridiculous. You can seriously just zone out for hours checking everything out.

Once in awhile we stumble upon things that are just so lovely we have to share!

Alicia Bock's photographs are spectacular and just feel like home! She writes in her profile that she is inspired by her children and her own childhood...

They are gorgeous, and she uses polaroids and subject matter like carousels and the beach to really make us think of our own memories.

Beads Beads Everywhere!

While I was pregnant I became very irritated by my husband's massing collections of golf and espn magazines, and after seeing my brother-in-law's girlfriend wearing a necklace from Africa crafted from paper I decided I wanted one too. I couldn't get around to going to Africa, so I sat down and figured out a way of making them.

My husband thought I was loosing my mind (which I very well might have been), but I finally came up with a result that I liked. The bead making involved tapered strips cut from magazines, modge podge glue, and knitting needles. I basically just started wrapping paper around knitting needles while applying the glue. It was tedious but fun.

The results are for sale now on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14022815

This has turned out to be a great way of recycling!

Electric Windows

An art installation was put up at the old electric blanket factory in Beacon, NY. Looks better then broken windows! Check it out if you are in town visiting the Dia.

Classy with a straw

I forgot I had these wonderful creations a couple of years ago, until a good friend brought them over for a surprise. They are classy pink cans of champagne that come with a straw... no chugging out of these cans!! Sip like young ladies!
AND if you a buy a four pack, it comes in this beautiful shiny box. You sort of feel like a princess when you drink out of this great pink metallic can. The real great part is, not only do they look great but they taste wonderful. Check out the website. It is tres chic. www.sofiamini.com
