Smart and funny jewelry by this Dutch designer.

Onesik

Clever design by Chae Wonsik. A bookmark using the movement of air.

Batistini

Nice photoset on Flickr of Carnival in Venice.

This Slovenian artist creates egg art using an electric boring tool. The results are stunning and as laborious as the finest of craftsmen from centuries past. The eggs that Grom creates have approximately 2,500 to 3,500 holes (he has been known to drill up to17,000 in one piece). The results are simply amazing.

Edible

A shop where you can buy exotic snacks and beyond interesting items (a Peppermint flavoured lollipop, which contains real farm raised ants, chocolate covered scorpions, Reindeer Pate and Green Crocodile Curry ) their products are beautifully crafted and packaged.

Park Planters

Found on Sience & Sons. Drawing inspiration from the bonsai, park planters were created to elevate the common household plant to the status of full grown tree.

The ornamented life

The Drain Eye-Catchers are both functional and pretty. Performing one of the dirtiest jobs in the house, these hair-catchers are also eye-catchers, adding perhaps a little pleasure to the user when facing the task of doing the dishes or cleaning the sink. Created by Joana Meroz.

Zena Holloway

Zena is the UK’s leading professional underwater photographer. Her images are striking, instinctive and driven by a deep understanding of her medium.

Laura Plansker

Growing up between Detroit, LA and NY, Laura got her start in photography as a child, taking pictures of dolls having tea parties and stuffed animals hanging from trees in her backyard. Many years later, it is through a combination of fields that her work has developed into the detailed world of photo-dioramas.

Kindle

Beautiful packaging for Kindle.
