Dare to be Digitally Different

By terramia Crinson,+bodywall

A sampling of the effulgent, flamboyant, and spirited digitile designs by Dominic Crinson... (One of my very favourites is the very serene Marmorous).

Would you tile your space in something like this...?

Bake a Cake, and Wear it Too!

By terramia Threadless+tshirt

Calling all creative sweet tooths! There is a super duper cool contest going on until the end of the month over at Threadless.... The Threadless Loves Loves Threadless Crazy Cake Contest... (boy, that was a mouthful!) 

It's the "let em eat cake" event... Bake a cake to match an inspirational blueprint for a t-shirt logo design. Send in a pic of the finished creation for cool prizes.... As the masterminds at Threadless say: "Hell, even if you suck at baking, the absolute worst thing that happens is you eat cake. And that’s probably the best absolute worst thing *ever*...." Cheers! I'll happily coat myself in flour just for that! Yum!

"BATH, n. A kind of mystic ceremony substituted for religious worship,
with what spiritual efficacy has not been determined..."
~ Ambrose Bierce
Two beautiful things in life: fresh air, and a long leisurely soak in a bubble bath...
Enjoy the natural surroundings "au naturel"... bathe in the open air.

Oh happy, happy place...

Familiar with the saying "Love to travel, hate to arrive"?
Well, feast your eyes on this unique destination.... the very extraordinary Propeller Island City Lodge in Berlin.
Yet another themed art hotel (I am intrigued...) containing thirty designer rooms of amazing ingenuity created by the very talented German artist Lars Stroschen. "Living in a work of art".... the hotel is more like an installation museum offering a totally unique experience.
Here's a handful of rooms... take a pick of which ones you would spend the night in:

The nature room with a log post bed, forest room in red, topsy-turvy room with everything upside down, a room with images of clouds, a prison cell room with a hole in the wall, flying » READ MORE
