random bits of web goodness…

December 1st, 2010

Here are a few more delightful items that I’ve come across during my days, and nights, of procrastinating.

I would like to be a pet person, but my apartment and my lifestyle do not allow it, so now and again I dabble with goldfish and what better way than in a special bowl. More options available on Apartment Therapy.

Somehow I can’t make my eyes see what this SF shot merely taken an angle really is.

Why aren’t all buildings shaped like what they sell? More to be found at mental_floss

I am enamored with polish though my professional skills would be challenged with these styles I’m going to give it a go thanks to the beautiful example of YSL polish from 80s Purple.

I don’t know if this bench would go with my panda footstool but it would go perfect somewhere, pointed out by laughing squid.

I don’t really understand how this works but who could not be obsessed with miniature mail shared by Design Sponge.

I’m not much of a bike rider myself but this horse bike or write bike might put me in the mood.

Animals are fun but animals in irregular situations are even more fun thanks to Wildlife Prints (via sfbaygirl) and Anthropology (via Apartment Therapy) more fun prints and pics at links.

Clever but cruel via Boing Boing.

Something appealing about a rug that looks so grassy, the trees on the wall don’t hurt the effect, Apartment Therapy gives a tour of this loft.

Street signs with a little something extra from Boing Boing.

Why shouldn’t hangers be art, though they won’t hold clothes as well in this form (via Apartment Therapy).

random bits of web goodness…

November 10th, 2010

I may have mentioned that whilst procrastinating I do things other than watch television, or at least sometimes things whilst watching television. What better way to procrastinate than good old web surfing. I often come across random things that delight me in one way or another and following is the first in what may become somewhat irregular posts of things that I thought others might delight in as well.

Oh Joy! brings a host of vases of heads (more at link).

If you don’t want a head shaped vase, craft points out what might be an interesting exhibit but at least shows a weird moss person.

I have an acknowledged fondness for childlike things and think this Land Carpet shared by Craft might be super in my not children’s room.

For those fans of art cars here’s a baskety one, more photos on process and car at Poppytalk link.

As a longtime fan of Pee Wee I can’t resist sharing, nor could The Daily What.

I know the green roof at the De Young is eco friendly, but Boing Boing had this whole other thing.

When you think of crochet you think of giant sculptures at least The Daily What might.

I have a fondness for tigers (among other critters), so I delighted in sfgirlbybay‘s photographers of tigers real and plastic, oh and other animals too.

I just met misery bear, and he’s adorable, though not called misery bear for nothing.

Boing Boing shared this slightly bizarre plushie mutant artwork (more art at link).

The Daily What points out some fashion that might have Dave Rittinger taking going green too far (check link for other leaf variations).

sfgirlbybay’s weekly post brings much delight, not sure which I like best, the book walker, the chair benches, or the book installations (check link for full gallery of images).

I’ve always been a fan of the hunting lodge head on wall (in a tribute to a beautiful animal sort of way and not a creepy hunt and put a dead head on the wall kind of way) and Apartment Therapy gives some wonderful moose and deer options (more of each at links).

I keep trying to become a person who can just randomly throw down origami, but am not disciplined enough to learn how to do anything except fan fold a napkin. This guy puts me (and really anyone) to shame, check out his story and slide show sadly noting his passing at NY Times (pointed out by Craft).

I really could be doing more interesting things with my spare time like making this flip flop monkey art installation piece (from Daily What).

I tend to not pass along the just plain cute, but apparently there is a new baby animal book from zooborns, I could look through their site for hours (from Boing Boing).

And please let thoughts be known about the host of random items or ideas for a more descriptive title in the comments.
