embroidery by dee clements

here is the greatest combination of handicraft and technology i have seen in quite some time: embroidered my space profiles carefully crafted by local chicago artist dee clements onto old handkerchiefs.

what proficient skill and what a hilarious project! i hope these go up live somewhere so i can see them in person.

say hi to dee at her blog, the paper crane. see more of her genius work on her website and see what’s for sale at her etsy shop too.

posts are like retractable pencils…

…if you push the Internet too hard it’s gonna break.

Sorry for the delayed postings this week, I got thrown off by the holiday, and now I’m in a location that has less than stellar Internet access. Thankfully, my husband is able to help me out today by dashing this post off.

I can’t get this song out of my head, so I thought I’d share it with you, and besides, this is who Paul and I will go as this year if we go to any Halloween parties. Enjoy!

cool interactive typography site

look at some of the random notes people have created for the general public on this interactive typography site. each letter belongs to a random person’s published photograph on flickr, and clicking on any of them takes you to that person’s sets and photo streams.

fun!

play with the program here.

busted tees for your (my) amusement

i think the graphics on these tee shirts are a timely example of the cyberculture we inhabit, and pretty darn funny too:

in honor of the permanently hilarious dramatic chipmunk

in honor of the permanently sad answer miss south carolina gave at the 2007 miss teen usa pageant

find ‘em at busted tees.
