Béatrix Li-Chin Loos - beautiful planets



Yes, they certainly are. Beautiful Planets, by Béatrix Li-Chin Loos, are a series of sculptural vases modeled after planets, through the use of a variety of different surfaces and materials, including wood, cardboard, leather, and glass. Definitely unlike anything I've ever seen before, in a very good way.

shiny animals






Shiny animal clutches, card holders, change purses, and ipod cases make me happy. Such a unique use of metalic leather, by Tsuru Bride.
Thanks to Suz for knowing that these would make my day.
