the stylecookie blog/e-zine may be the sweetest thing in the world. of course you’re supposed to buy the things on the site as well as look at the pictures, but i’m less interested in that.
if you’ve followed my blog for any length of time you’ve probably clued on by now to the fact that my aesthetic…oscillates. on some days i like bird bones, blacks and greys, on others it’s all sugared almonds and ellen von unwerth. i like to think that these two ends of the aesthetic spectrum aren’t so much incompatible as complimentary, like a colourwheel, whereby you choose which hues to put together according to how far apart they’re spaced. often the best match is a diametric opposite.
anyway. i found this on a sugared almond day. apparently their current theme is ‘paper’, and if i were the sort of person who took my breakfast eggs seriously (or ate eggs for that matter) i would definitely want one of those heart-shaped fried-egg molds. i’d probably never use it, but i’d really, really want to. i’m also considering making flights of threaded envelopes for my new apartment (!) – or maybe lanterns, or aeroplanes?i would also like (and use) a lightglobe-in-a-box, as per example here:
between stylecookie and anna-wili highfield this has been a week devoted to the art-ish possibilities of paper. next week will be about birthdays, apartments, and being fashionably disabled. oh yes it will be.
yours in mutual appreciation of cello-tape and crêpe paper (just look how happy it makes this woman),
nyx.
