Art by Jane Mckay
I love this art, I love the colors and the free feeling! Take a look. And google her she is great her pieces are for sale. I cant wait untill I can buy a piece.
More Food Art
After looking at Food Art in the past I have been looking for new interesting pieces.A great design is the watermelon with the small men working to remove the seeds.
The cake with the man sitting on a log is really cool. I love the woman with a towel on her head. It's a great use of food to make the face.
The most beautiful bathtub.
The most beautiful bathtub.
The Artist Tetsuya Nakamura used reinforced plastic that looks very similar to glass. There is a matching sink that has a blend of blues, oranges, whites, reds and black shadowing. The bathtub is priced at 26,000 and the sink at 8,600. I would imagine that these pieces together or separate can make a great impression.

The Magazine Wastebasket
The Magazine Wastebasket
This cute Wastebasket has a neat curve on the top that allows a magazine to sit right on top. This is a great idea and its also nice because the Magazine covers the garbage in the wastebasket making the bathroom look neat. The designers name is Stephen Hauser.

Art work by Shannon Hamilton
Art work by Shannon Hamilton. I love this art work, the use of color and line really pulls the viewer in. I love the beach feeling of the pieces and the strong shadows. The artist uses deep reds, dark blues, oranges and browns.
PermaFLOW
PermaFLOW is something that will defiantly catch on. PermaFLOW provides clear piping. This is a great idea because one can see into the clear pipe and see exactly were the clog is.
426,000 is a big number.
426,000 is a big number.
It has been estimated that 426,000 cell phones are discarded each day in the United States. This Picture shown above shows the 426,000 cell phones. Its scary to see just how many phones are in our landfills each day

Paper Art
More paper art from Jen Stark
David Carlson 13 March, 2007
"I’ve got a fantastic feedback on my earlier post about the paper art by Jen Stark. So I decided to share some further pictures of here awesome art pieces made of multi-coloured construction paper. What makes me most impressed is the way she makes two-dimensional papers into three-dimensional sculptures."

This is the art I love. Take paper and make it something that is new and different. I love the color!
Blocking germs in style
Blocking germs in style
This is a really funny idea, but there is truly nothing funny about getting sick. So this is a great way to block the germs in style. I think that this is a good idea for those that work about a lot of dust and germs. Its good to see that people can make something good out of a bad time.

Art by Krescent Carasso
I found this artist while looking around on google. Her works of art so captivating when one looks at a piece its almost like you want to look away but you cant. The people she is painting are shown in such vulnerable moments. She captures a great deal of sadness with her use of colors and angles. http://www.krescentcarasso.com/

The Tent Sofa
The Tent sofa and Bed by Philippe is an interchangeable design for children that can change from a small sofa to bed to ten and so on. Although this deign is made to stimulate the minds of children. However I would love this “tent sofa” for myself. I like how it starts as a small sofa to a “bed” that once can sleep on. The video itself is very funny.

Creative Food Art
Creative Food Art!
This art is made completely out of food. It’s great to see how artist think outside of the box and use different types of foods to create animals and landscapes. One of my favorite pieces of art is the Watermelon Art. This piece is the bust of a woman made completely out of watermelon. The great use of the outer skin to represent hair that frames the face and oranges that represent earrings give the piece an authentic look. The eyes look great even though the piece is made out of watermelon it still looks really great. The next piece that I think looked really great was the piece with the geese. Rice is used to represent a blue ski. The creator used mushrooms for the bodies of the geese and the wings.

The Purrfect Gripper
I love the PurrFect Opener. Although I does seem silly it is important for one to remember that many older people loose feeling in the tips of their fingers. This makes it hard for them to grasp small things or open jars and bottles. It is always a struggle for the elderly to keep their independence so every little thing helps. The PurrFect Opener helps to open cans and bottles, open medication packaging and bottles. The great thing about this product is that its small and it can perform a variety of simple tasks and it only coasts five dollars.
New Soap, Old Bottle
With everyone going "green" this seems to be a good idea. How ever the one question I want to ask is...Why not do this your self. These "used bottle contain new soaps. This is really great for the environment and reuses plastic and glass bottles. I think this might turn some people off but at the same time if you dont want to buy this project you can do it your self! You can save your old bottles and use them for you soaps and other cleaners. This way you will re use something YOU used. Now these products are cheap going $4 a bottle. So maybe everyone should give it a try?
Prickly Chairs
Valentina Gonzalz's prickly pair chairs will be shown in Milan next week. The design features two chairs of lime green and hot pink colors. They are so cute that you almost want to sit down and take a rest. Wait you might not want to do that! Each chair has hairs from the Nopal cactus. At first the one might think what is the reason. The Nopal cactus symbolizes Mexican heritage and national pride. The chair has a blend of not only material but culture!
The Folding phone
The folding phone is something that EVERYONE needs . I drop my phone so many times and this is the answer for me. The phone has shape memory that allows the keys to appear on the suface only when needed. The phone is still only in its early design stages. Today everyone has a phone, they are always looking for the New phone. This phone will change cellphones forever!

The Red bathRoOM
This tiny bathroom has a New York City feeling. The red tiled walls almost look like a subway station?! I really don't like this bathroom but is different. I do like the shower. The shelves look messy. I think I do see where the owner was trying to go with this .... but they didn't reach it.
Tweenbots
Tweenbots are a project started by Kacie Kinzer are tiny robots made from cardboard. The Tweenbot is only 10 inch tall and is so cute with its black sharpie smile. Each robot has a tiny flag that reads "help me". As the robots can only go in a strait line they need the help of those walking by to guide them in the right direction. I think this is a really great idea. The robot it so tiny and cute; how could you not love it?
Brush and Rinse
The Brush and Rinse is a really great idea. It not only saves your time. You dont have to use 900 little cups to rinse while brushing. The Brush and Rinse is a Scott Amron design. It's only about $3.
Shelves for life
William Warren Shelves for life is a coffin that can be taken apart can be turned into shelves. The coffin is made of oak veneered plywood. The shelves can be used throughout life and rebuilt into a coffin( one needed) I really don’t like this idea. It almost seems like it should be some kind of sick joke! The idea behind the Shelves for life is to make stronger emotional relationships with our belongings and encourage life-long use. The only think I like about this is the simplicity.
More power strips!
Robin Wang's power strips are really different looking. Other then the normal looking flat power strip these power strips have a new and refreshing look. Robin Wang's designs are china based. They are simple and sleek. Robin Wang's web site has a number of different designs that are smooth the sleek including cars and boats.
Japanese space- Saving kitchen
This great appliance can make a full meal! I think this is a great idea even though it looks kinda funny. Its great for a small kitchen. The writer explains that Japanese kitchens are small and they cook in small kitchens. I think it would be cool to have a dish washer and oven in one!
Modern Fixtures
Housing Fixture Series for Daelim House Bussiness
SDesignUnit designed a series of light switches, thermostats and outlets called the housing fixture series. All of the fixtures are simple and easy on the eyes. They also have the same over all look and shape so one could be placed next to the other and it would look as though they belong together. I think this is a great idea for a small home or a home that has a modern look.
