Sketchtravel
30th November 2011
I never heard about Sketchtravel before, but after reading about it this morning I fell completely in love with the project.
The red sketchbook was passed between 71 artists in 12 countries over 4 and a half years. The list of artists and illustrators is impressive (Quentin Blake, James Jean, Taiyō Matsumoto to name a few) but it’s the idea that this little book was travelling for all that time that makes me smile – and that they managed to auction it off for $96,000, all of which was donated to Room to Read, a awesome charity that helps kids learn to read. Sold.
The beautiful video was put together by Sketchtravel and is totally inspiring and well worth a watch.
You can read more about Sketchtravel here or buy the book from here (which has just been added to the top of my christmas list).

Monster Tattoos

Hooray for tattoos that look like Monsters and Animals! Bedtime stories just got WAY more exciting!
Estylo 1.1
18th November 2011
A Rainbow Pencil Stylus? Awesome!
Designed to be used on capacitive touch screens like the iPad, Estylo is the first and only wooden stylus of it’s kind and as well as being eco-friendly, the magnetic versions have also been designed to connect onto the side of the iPad. Clever. These would be great for anyone wanting to sketch or draw on their iPad.
With the project up on Kickstarter, I’m happy to say that Plai have reached their target goal and funding is now being spent on research and development for the Estylo 2.

Nest Learning Thermostat
25th October 2011
Whoever knew climate-control could be sexy?
Thankfully, Tony Fadell, the man behind the invention of the iPod did and as a result we now have the gorgeous Nest Learning Thermostat. This little product is not only pretty, it also contains software that analyses and tracks your energy usage. Over time it learns to predict your energy needs and starts adjusting itself to work with your lifestyle. Amazingly, it’s this intuitive programming that can save you 30% – 40% off your energy costs.
Good for you + Good for the environment = Win
Have a watch of the video should you need any extra convincing.

Monkey
20th October 2011
I’ve always always wanted a Kay Bojesen Monkey. I nearly bought one for the lovely S! years ago and I wish I had now. Designed in 1951, he’s been beautifully and perfectly made and I think he’s just awesome.
Maybe a baby nephew present?
Sixty Years of Memories
11th October 2011
I love this project by Nothing but Bonfires. For her dad’s 60th birthday she asked all his family, friends and loved ones to write down a memory they had of him and collected 60 of them together.
I hope someday somebody makes something like this for me.
