OSoo's Armadillo Giclee Print

OSoo's Armadillo Giclee Print for Doctors Without Borders

In these (still?!) economically unsure times, we can easily forget the hard-working non-profits out there striving to make our world a little better. Therefore, it’s a joy to find projects that find intelligent ways to raise funds for good and provide perks to those doing the giving. Enter The Working Proof. The concept is simple: a gallery full of limited edition prints from which 15% of proceeds go to a charity of the artist’s choice.

T-Shirt Tuesdays » Where in the World is Fifi Lapin?

Fifi Lapin Tee by Doe

Doe’s Fifi Lapin Blue Pearls Tee

Fifi Lapin (that’s Fifi the Bunny in French) has a huge fan in Lo’s List (check out our previous post on the fashionable thumper here) thus, when we saw her illustrations popping up on tees around the interwebs we took it as a sign that it was high time for an update…

Zuk Zuk Magic Blossom Bears Print on Etsy

Magic Blossom Bears archival print

Toronto-based New Zealander Helen Acraman clearly has a soft spot for bears (ditto here). These tender pen & ink illustrations have the textural quality of aboriginal art: meticulous tick marks and simple geometrics create fur, feathers, and the like, mixed with a very Nordic-folk-ish approach to color…

Death and Texas Handlebar Bag

Ok, ok. So the ball & chain is right: I have a bag fetish. It’s actually a container obsession: our house is full of oddly shaped jars, vintage cans, quirky bowls & trays – all holding tchotkies I’ve gleaned over many years of foraging flea markets, boutiques and the like. But, yes, bags, pouches, fabric zippie things – sign me up. Now, although not one of the gazillion New Yorkers that swears by her bike (I’ve purchased a few over my NYC years, subsequently biked to some rendez-vous and parked the thing, only to leave it there, abandoned forever), I have officially fallen for the cowgirl meets fashionista meets bike-messenger accessories over at Death and Texas’ Etsy store…

Crafty Hedgehog Frog

Gosh… Where do I even start. I boycotted Dissect-a-Frog day in middle school. My teachers saw it coming though, and sat me down with an IBM and the CD-Rom of the 6th grade science massacre. Now, if only Crafty Hedgehog’s knitted version had been available at the time…

Yokoo Vermont Snuggler

The first signs of Autumn drifting through the air are just intoxicating… that very particular smell, a deceivingly fertile odor of leaves wanting to fall and countless plants on the cusp of metamorphosis: ready to shed their layers (backyard compost!) as we pile the layers on. Oh, layers! Accessories! The other splendid sign of Fall! Where oh where to buy?

Do-Goodism » School Uniform Chic

The Uniform Project

I was raised and schooled in India where uniforms were a mandate in most public schools. Despite the imposed conformity, kids always found a way to bend the rules and flaunt a little personality. Boys rolled up their sleeves, wore over-sized swatches, and hiked up their pants to show off their high-tops. Girls obsessed over bangles, bindis and bad hairdos… – Sheena Matheiken

Elsita: Girl with a Magic Fruit

Originating in China circa 1500 the art of papercutting (jianzhi) quickly spread across the globe and is now a celebrated craft in dozens of countries including Japan (kirie), India (sanjhi), Germany & Switzerland (scherenschnitte), France (canivet or decoupage), Poland (wycinanki), Ukraine (vytynanky), Turkey (ka ‘ti), Mexico (papel picado), the States, Israel, and beyond…

“The process of creating a papercut piece is a wonderful way to practice and master the art of patience.” – Elsa Mora
