i spy with my little eye

some eye candy..

its  not normally my  'thang' but somehow these got my attention.  the million dollar question is who the heck has the time and PATIENCE to hand carve little things into the tips of pencil leads...?  Dalton Ghetti is who!  what grabs my attention more than the sculptural tip, are the funny, worn, used pencil nubs themselves?  it makes me think about the little life that pencil had - how many hours it wrote and doodled for, being loved by someone, stuck into mouths over and over forgetting the end  had a rubber attached....before becoming forever incarcerated into pencil art?  all a bit deep for this hour of the day ;-)

jellyfishing around

these are pretty odd...and quite pretty at the same time.  a project where an aquarium has been made using liquid pet containers to make water animals.  totally green, recycled, odd, yet interesting yah? perhaps my kind of pet, not living and never gonna die. i could probably look at a tank like this for hours.

bucking the trends

i stumbled across this quite by accident and then was completely amazed and ...then slightly amused! PEOW!!  this designer rocks with these antler coat hangers..perfect for your average hunter who likes to road bike maybe...?  i'm also completely digging the real handle bars...wowie they are hand carved from real wood.

then i cruised through the rest of his stuff (ha ha get it??) and realised this guy is trying to bring smoking back lol. there is the pocket lighter which lights when you open the 'pouch' and gives you protection from that gale force wind we love here in Wellies.  aahh BRILLIANT. i do however find it a bit ...ugly. shhhhh

then he decided to re-create the posh-ness of post war for smokers with POSH smokers spots.

...i wonder if he made them 'barf' proof..us kiwi's tend to litter regular smoking spots during every hard weekend..ok so that's every single weekend. lol enjoy.
