It’s not that I am against eating good it’s just I don’t include things grown on dead things nor in poo. It’s the texture man, the texture! However, using them in a good sauce or hell just sauteing them with other things really brings out a nice flavor.

Paul Baxendale over at FinderMaker does more than just that with these funny looking fungi. He has found a clever and useful way of making something productive out of them, shelves!

Paul says, “One’s active participation in this tutorial is rather dependent on access to suitable mushroom specimens, and while I regret that I’m unable to offer any specific advice on where to go looking, do just keep a keen eye in the trees (up and down the trunks, specifically) the next time you are out on a ramble through a forested area, and your diligence may well be rewarded.

As a 3 year design student at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in Norway, Camilla’s designs are about using leftover and recycled materials, and let it shine with a new identity. While she loves the Scandinavian style, Camilla lets loose and explores the depths of all colors which can influence many areas of our lives.

The Treat Bowls of recycled lampshades and colorful Mirasol Yarn yarn, also support a good case. Mirasol Project supports lokal communities in Peru through the sales of The Mirasol Yarn Collection. [Link]

The Creative Mind of John Nouanesing

I thought I knew what was going into my man room. A nice size shelf for all of my books, a red lush smoking jacket with a comfy leather lay back chair. A stuffed monkey up in a corner with fake ravens looking down upon me and my huge area rug. However, after seeing this type of window that John has come up with I am now re-thinking my idea. Link
