Nathalie Lete and Anthro

Okay, this is so amazing I just stole it from Design Sponge! How come I work at Anthro and don't know about this!!!!

...i was so excited to hear that nathalie would be painting the windows at the anthro store on 5th avenue. in honor of her new dress collection at anthro nathalie is transforming all of the windows into a “marvelous garden” with flowers, birds, and insects. (taken from Design Sponge)

I can only imagine how stunning these widows will be... to think how fleeting...

I'd love to be there to see it in person!

Colette Fu

Recently purchased Papercraft: Design and Art With Paper and found Collete Fu's work. These amazing collage pops are unlike anything I've seen...

These two pieces are from a series entitled Haunted Philly. The pop up below is of Byberry State Mental Hospital. The following excerpt is from Fu's website...

"Byberry State Hospital was a federally funded health facility opened in 1912 and closed down in 1990 due to unlivable conditions and mistreatment of patients. There have been reports of screams bellowing from the basements."

Spent the morning with Molly taking pics in a mustard field outside of Yountville. She was a good sport, and we managed a few really beautiful shots. These were taken with my iphone. I love the vignetting, it adds to the surreal charm that fits Molly's beauty and personality.

Spring Window is UP!

Excuse the poor pics form my phone. I will be posting better images this week!

Hundreds of reused plastic water and soda bottles became this spring sphere of flowers!!!!

The Atrium features this sphere, which is 92" wide and two others, one 72" wide and a baby one about 48" wide. All the flowers are strung on thread running floor to ceiling. I used over 2000 yards of thread!

Hair Sculpture by Nagi Noda

I am blown away by these "Hair Hats" by Japanese artist Nagi Noda. I came across these plastic taxidermy forms on eBay the other day and they would make a great base for something like these wigs. Amazing!

Nesting

Aaron and I have been collecting bird nests. I was searching for images of nests on google when I came across this installation by Benjamin Verdonck. The Dutch artist built a giant sized nest on the side of an office building in Rotterdam and lived within it for a 5 day period. Check out the video below!
