etching glass: how to
I started a project attempting to etch glass… When starting it, I didn’t realize it would be so simple! The vinyl sticker material used to make the stencil was the hardest part to master.

iamaKey
Lacie‘s “iamaKey” USB key is lovely! Lately, I’ve been busy backing up photos and reorganizing files. With the USB always with the house keys, iamaKey would be perfect for my absent-mindedness of always forgetting something.. haha.

The pixelation of the stamp is a visual detail that references the original digital photo…? I’m curious what the thought process was behind [...]

DWR: lighting

Though the phallic-ness could get a bit disturbing after a while.. via DesignWithinReach

No worries about loosing your kids’ mittens and encourage them to hold your hand while crossing the street… simple and [...]
