I really loved doing etchings and engravings in school. Someday I’d really like to have the space in my home to do it again.

Guido Mocafico takes *amazing* pictures of snakes. And tarantulas. And killer jellyfish. Basically, impeccable still-lifes of a lot of stuff that’ll make your skin crawl.
Look at that green pop! Beautiful images from Ciril Jazbec, a London based Slovenian photographer.
I must see new things and investigate them. I want to taste dark water and see crackling trees and wild winds. I want to gaze with astonishment at mouldy garden fences. I want to experience them all, to hear young birch plantations and trembling leaves, to see light and sun, enjoy wet, green-blue valleys in the evening, sense goldfish glinting, see white clouds building up in the sky, to speak to flowers. I want to look intently at grasses and pink people, old venerable churches, to know what little cathedrals say, to run without stopping along curving meadowy slopes across vast plains, kiss the earth and smell soft warm marshland flowers. And then I shall shape things so beautifully: fields of colour…

Wonderful project by Kathy Klein constructing what she calls Danmalas, mandala’s of naturally found objects like cones, flowers and leaves.
Greenhouse is a project by Czech student and designer Kristýny Pojerové The short of it is, this is an amazing space saving solution for growing herbs in urban environments. As a New Yorker that dreams of one day having a garden, this is a most welcome discovery (they are indeed available for purchase).
Incredible organic glass sculptures by Chicago based artist Shayna Leib. A bit from Colossal Art on her process:
“Each of the pieces in her Wind and Water takes nearly a month to create and involves a painstaking, multi-step process that begins with pulling individual 30-50 foot segments of glass called cane (imagine making 2400 °F taffy candy), a step that’s repeated 8 to 200 times depending on the scale of the piece. To clarify: she generates over 1 mile of thin glass pieces from which she cuts into tens of thousands of segments organized by shape and length. Next begins the tedious process of building the actual sculpture, requiring roughly 45 minutes for each two square inch area. This all seems practically impossible to me. I get dismayed when confronted with a jumbo-sized bag of carrots.”
