{time waster} Generate a Color Palette From a Photo! (Warning: Addictive)
I love to play with this SUPER FUN app that generates a lovely harmonious color palette from your photos. You upload a photo and the app processes it and spits out the palette. This would be a great way to think about room decor, website design, or even what color picture frame to get. Here are a some I did from some of my photos:
This is the (amazing, delicious, if you love cheese don’t miss it!) cheese shop in Neal’s Yard, London, that makes a lovely subtle palette.

{sweet} Sugar Men Wait For You To Push Them In Your Beverages
Some supremely awesome and talented woman named Natasha MADE these sugar guys who perch on the edge of your cup- until you push them in. Brilliant. When will these be available for sale? Someone DEFINITELY needs to produce them on a larger scale.

As pointed out in the comments on Natasha’s site, the dark brown guy’s position even makes him look afraid… hilarious. I’d go so far as to say the light brown guy is resigned to his fate, and the white guy is very Zen.
See and read more about Natasha’s project at Nova Culture.

YaYa Chou, a Taiwanese artist, created this bearskin-shaped rug out of Gummi Bears and fake nails, and it’s amazing.

I have no words. I love it.

{refrigerator art} Fridgehenge
Welcome to Stonefridge: a fridgehenge.

That’s it. It’s Stonehenge made of old refrigerators. According to this website (which also has a bunch more pictures) an artist created it outside of Santa Fe, NM, until some art-hating, fridge-loathing jerk COMPLAINED and made them take it down.

{recycling} Light Fixtures From Milk Jugs, Banana Crates, and More
It seems I’ve been serially bookmarking a whole bunch of odd and unusual DIY lighting ideas so I thought it was time to clean it out and share a few with you.
Latex Glove Lamp by Katarina Britse
STUNNING- the trick would be keeping them inflated for more than a couple hours.

{make this} Beautiful Stripey Jello!
These cubes of finger jello from I’ve Gotta Little Space To Fill are so beautiful and mesmerizing! Like food + art + the 50s all rolled (squared?) into one discrete item.

My thoughts: 1) It would make a cool t-shirt pattern. 2) How do you make white jello? 3) mmmmmm delicious jello.
You can get the recipe and see more pictures at I’ve Gotta Little Space To Fill.
