#tattoofriday – Tattoos & Tentacles Polvos: seres normalmente de 8 braços e 3 corações. Há quem curta, há quem não goste do bicho. Mas que eles representam muita coisa além do fundo do mar, é fato: agilidade, flexibilidade, sabedoria, alta capacidade de adaptação, além de se regenerarem caso tenham alguma parte de seus membros perdida. E é como os polvos que a gente quer se sentir: bravo, capaz e com uma vontade enorme de segurar todas as oportunidades do mundo, como se tivéssemos muitos tentáculos.

creative face ART news Los Angeles - Ceramic artist MINEO MIZUNO pushes definition of glanze in 'COEXISTENCE' | los-angeles.creativeface.net Exhibition 'Coexistence' by Mineo Mizuno at Samuel Freeman Gallery, Los Angeles Sublime, meditative, and mutable, Coexistence by Mineo Mizuno is on view at Samuel Freeman from February 14 to March 21, 2009. For Mizuno, a ceramic artist whose mastery of glaze is equaled only by a reputation for continually pushing artistic boundaries, Coexistence is an unorthodox, but not entirely unexpected, new direction. Mizuno begins each ceramic and moss piece in Coexistence with a lozenge-like flattened spherical form, ranging from one to four feet in diameter. For four decades, Mineo Mizuno has played a major role in elevating the perception of ceramic arts from high craft to fine art. art, los-angeles, magazine

Sa réputation internationale a été lancée en mai 2006, quand il a créé le premier parc de sculptures sous-marines à la Grenade, aux Antilles, situé dans la baie Moilinere. Les sculptures sont immergées dans un cours d'eau limpide et peu profonde donnant un accès idéal pour les plongeurs, les apnéistes et les bateaux à fond transparent. Son œuvre est soumise au changement des fonds marins, la nature faisant son œuvre. Ses sculptures sous-marines créent une impression unique, soulignant les processus écologiques naturels, l’artiste explore les relations complexes qui existent entre l'art et de l'environnement. Les statues deviennent le réceptacle d'une vie sous-marine, abris pour les poissons, support pour les micro-organismes, coraux et éponges. L'artiste nous invite à réfléchir sur la disparition progressive d’écosystèmes fragiles.
The Textile Blog Farm Fountain - a sculptural ecosystem you can eat Anthro-Inspired Mirror You all know we love a good Anthropologie knockoff around here – so a couple of days ago when I was browsing online I came across this mirror. Oh I definitely need that. Hold the presses – did that say $498??? Huh. We can do better than that. :) So after scouring the thrift shops, cutting myself on mirror glass, and overcoming an unreasonable fear of Mod Podge, here is my version! (Bear with me here – taking a picture of a mirror is a bit tricky. Ready for the tutorial? You’ll need: A MirrorEasy Off Oven CleanerFabric (enough to cover the frame and the back of the mirror)Mod PodgeA Staple Gun or other framing tool I went searching for a method to removing silvering and came across a great tutorial at Mitzi’s Collectibles. I started with a frame that I found at the thrift store. Obviously not clean. We actually had to ask on this one – because it just said 1951. $19.51 seemed way to high – and it was. Start by taking your mirror out of the frame. Lay your mirror down on a protected surface.
Earth to Annie The Great Geek Manual » The World’s Most Beautiful Libraries I make no secret of the fact that I’m a hardcore bibliophile, but we’re a common enough lot these day. And the one sight that always makes me linger over a webpage is rows and rows of neatly organized books. So, in an effort to draw more like-minded read here to my little blog, I decided to round-up a gallery of photos of some of the most beautiful libraries I’ve ever seen photos of. Enjoy.
