As a kid, I loved collecting rocks and minerals. Now, years later, my son does too. As much I love to encourage him, the last thing I want to do is set some great hunk of quartz in his (shared) room to clobber his sister over the head with. Here are a few more kid-friendly finds to spur on interest in the wonders that can be found hidden under the earth… 1. This incredible vintage-inspired science poster is from Vol25 on Etsy. $70.00. 2.

"Puffins Passing" One of my favorite craft blogs is called Purl Bee. There are numerous knitting, sewing, crochet and needlecraft projects to explore, and beautifully illustrated tutorials for the beginner. The blog recently featured the arrival of Charley Harper needlepoints in their store, and I was utterly blown away. It made me want to do these needle point projects so much! I could already imagine it hanging on our apartment walls. But then I realized that the canvas would be about $95, and I’d have to buy the yarn, plus it would take a really, really long time and I’m not so interested in needlepoint….and then it dawned on me that I was actually in love with the pictures, not the idea of needlepoint itself. "Limp on a Limb" How have I not heard of Charley Harper? How have I lived without knowing he ever existed? He was an American commercial illustrator and artist (1922-2007), who did both commercial work (“The Golden Book of Biology”, “Betty Crocker’s Dinner for Two”, “Ford Times”) and nature-based work (National Park Service, Michigan Audubon Society, Cincinnati Zoo). His pictures are colourful, graphic, stylized, and with a unique point of view. I also really dig the names of his illustrations. "Birdfeeders" The book featuring his work, Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life, is at the top of my wish list. It’s a definitive 400 page compilation of his work, written by designer Todd Oldham, and listed for only $37.77. However, this edition is not yet released. A hardcover version is currently available for around $150. For an amazing plethora of information about Charley Harper, go here. You can purchase books and prints, but I mainly visit for the pictures. They certainly are beautiful. Thank you, Charley Harper!

“Excuse me,” says the young designer to the clerk in my imaginary, vaguely Monty Pythonesque skit . “I’m looking for a book called Bauhaus....
Leaning away from the old Gothic architectural styles of Germany, Bauhaus exhibited a more simplistic approach. Modernism left out the decorative ornaments and trims which had no functional purpose. The new designs showed you can have style and cost effectiveness all in one.
Recentemente acquisita dal MoMA di New York, questa piccola raccolta di 20 cartoline è stata realizzata da insegnanti e studenti del celeberrimo Bauhaus in occasione della grande mostra (la prima di questo livello organizzata dalla scuola fondata da Walter Gropius nel 1919) che nel 1923 fece conoscere al mondo intero il valore, lo stile, la forza del progetto-Bauhaus. Cartoline disegnate personalmente da mostri sacri come Klee, Kandinsky, Moholy-Nagy, Schlemmer, Feininger (che furono alcuni degli insegnanti della scuola) vennero spedite agli […]
