Laser Cut Lamps

Ania Pauser was recently selected as the "Young designer of the year" by Plaza Magazine for her gorgeous laser cut pendant lamps made out of aero plywood and paper. The jury's comment: "Ania Pausers lamp in laser-cut wood is like something straight out of Arabian Nights - fabulous!"... I couldn't agree more. They look like they came straight out of a Moroccan dream!

Digital Wall Paper by Catalina Estrada

Thinking of adding a splash of color to your home- scratch that- a ginormous wave of color? Here's a bright idea- try out these stunning digital mural/ wall papers by designer Catalina Estrada.

Paper Pages : Nail Design

I'm usually a short bare fingernails kind of girl (you have to be when you're dealing with ink and printing all day) but this is something I MUST try out sometime... It's a clever little imprint nail design you can do with newspapers you have around the house. Very cute! VIA

You will need:

• Scissors

• Pale Nail Polish

 •  Clear Varnish (& Top Coat)

• Newspaper

• Alcohol (Vodka or other)

Directions:

1. Paint nails with light polish.

2. Apply varnish.

3. Put alcohol in a small glass. 

4. Cut small pieces of paper newspaper (big enough to cover nail.)

5. When nails are dry, soak them in alcohol.

6. Cover your nails with the small pieces of paper newspaper. 

7. After a few seconds, remove pieces of newspaper slowly. 

8. Let dry and apply a layer of top coat.

You Wear What You Read

Littlefly has an amazing line of jewelry made from paper... but not just any paper. They use the pages from books, then insert the finished jewelry back in to it's "excavated space." They'll even create custom pieces, extracting pages from your very own books. It's a wonderful, unique process where they laminate the paper with a high-gloss- only showing faint imagery from the actual pages. I'm so excited to be sharing this with you today...
