things today.

some fun things, fixtures of fancy, artwork, and hairy things i'm loving lately...

mt. mini planters: maple blocks, hand-painted finished with beeswax polish

faceted concrete clock polished by hand

just a great work out bottle

super drawn to a print of leigh viner's painting "ingenue"

how fun are these do-it-yourself craft masks for kids?

a great way to display your house numbers with this modern white planter

a giant banana pillow is completely unnecessary, but i still want it

LOVE these concrete & cork stools (the corks are crushed up corks from the niagara wine region)

a hairy ottomon thing. again, unnecessary, but still want it

enjoy!

para clocks. architecturally based design.

truth be told, i'm not a huge fan of clocks. another words, i have something against giant, looming time, hovering over me, around me, stressing me out in a way. i don't even wear a watch! but these architecturally designed, concrete wall clocks offered up by para clocks, grabbed my non~clock liking attention.







(via)
as if part of the design, ideas possibly generated from vintage building facades, french cathedrals, ornate antique buildings, para clocks has captured time in a way. and what a more perfect medium to capture time, than in concrete. stately, edgy, certainly strong. yet para clocks transform the medium of concrete, allowing a bit of femininity to show through in all of that intricate design.

so for me, for this "i don't have a clock anywhere in my home, on any wall" girl, these para clocks have me re~looking at how i judge time. and even more fun, how i view time. i love that!

off to get busy with more reading for papers. how is your tuesday starting off? i'd love to hear. also, are you a clock person or not? i'd also love to hear your opinion on that. for now, enjoy this tuesday morning friends!
