Inspired by: Heritage 2013

One of the most memorable installations I experienced in the past 5 years has to be the pack of wolves running into a glass wall in the 'Head On' by Cai Guo-Qiang.  I'm not surprised I was instantly drawn to the images popping up online of his new project, 'Heritage 2013'. That's 99 animal replicas gathered around the pool for a drink. Hope I get to see it!!!

So this is Heritage 2006.  It looks insane but the wolves are pretty cute up close with comical expressions. 

Happy Weekend!

Simplicity of Felt

You know when something is just soo cute that words are not enough and all you can do is make a high pitch sound!? I had one of those moments for Simplicity of Felt. 

キィ———!!

Tattly

How lucky are kids today to have Tattly, a store dedicated entirely to the most awesome temporary tattoos.

Lazy Wood Slice

One of the most important missions for designers today is to make beautiful things while being kind to the mother earth. Lazy Wood Slice by Davide Magni is one of those. It's made with recycled wood from damaged trees and the process helps to clear the forest without having to cut healthy trees.

Weekend Love: Framing Art

How was your weekend?! I finally got a chance to frame my Creme De La Creme print. Love it!

Inspired by: The Daily Dishonesty

Let's be honest, we all use some dishonesty to get through life. Lauren Hom share's her little lies through he hand-lettering blog, the Daily Dishonesty. Enjoy it over the weekend and embrace yourself for more lies next week :P  jk. Here are my favorites!

Nail Art: ZigZag

My original nail art this week.

Stone and Violet

I love little compartments especially when they have little things that fit perfectly into it. These sets of minerals and crystals in a wooden box from Stone and Violet are just so precious. Would love one of them for christmas ;)

Plantillo

Succulent pillows. It's a wierd combo but the Plantillo is just so cute. 

Weekend Love: The Anniversary Lunch

Today is my 2nd wedding anniversary! woot woot. My husband and I decided to go casual this year so we celebrated by stuffing ourselves at the Marriott Singapore's weekend buffet lunch. 

I'm a fan of Basilico and the Line when it comes to hotel lunch buffets in Singapore but sometimes they can feel a bit over the top. This is a more compact spread & value-for-money option. If they've got parma ham and lobsters, I've got no complaints :)

Inspired by: Friday Project

Creative and whimsical graphical interpretations from The Friday Project by Stephen Wildish. It's a really fun page to visit so don't miss it! My favorite is the Marshmallow!! It was a bit too long to post here so here's another favorite from the fairytale series.

It's been an inspiring week :) Happy weekend!!

The Little Black Jacket

Any Chanel fans here? I just attended the preview of The Little Black Jacket going on at the ArtScience Museum of Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. 

The exhibition features Karl Lagerfeld's photos of celebrities rockin' Chanel's iconic little black jacket.

How can you say no to such a beautifully handwritten invitation. CLASSS.

Ana Teresa Barboza

Ana Teresa Barboza's embroidery art goes 'outside the box,' literally.

what a rebel.

Hang it on the Wall

Hang it on the Wall by Harry Thaler is a beautiful modern interpretation of Edison's original lightbulb.

Don't miss the nail....

Weekend Love: Gillman Barracks

I visited the U Factory at the Gillman Barracks on Saturday, which is currently exhibiting the works of Japanese designer Shigeki Fujishiro titled Frames. 

It's so exciting to walk in to this room with levitating geometric frames spinning freely, creating an even more interest set of shadows. Then you realize the meticulous construction of it and how perfectly the frames are balanced on transparent strings. This is definitely an exhibition you have to experience in person. 

The birth of "mobile" appeared as part of a new art concept known as kinetic art. Artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Alexander Calder found ways to express both space and time enabled by motions. The frames I've designed are heavily influenced by their works adding more of a graphical touch. By applying transparent strings the frames look as if they are floating. Another feature is the spacial effect made by the shadows.

You have 1 week left to catch it in Singapore!
