Saunders


I love Jonathan Saunders! I especially love the shoes here - the tucked in ribbon and the low cut sides are wonderful, though I would want them to be less low cut in the vamp, as they look a little bit like they are hard to keep on.

Sukkah City

These drawings of Star Cocoon by Volkan Alkanoglu are wonderful. The use of color, clarity of the diagrams and the layout are quite strong. This will be future inspiration for me...

This desk by TU Delft is made out of a old books. It's beautifully made, but I'm not sure how I feel about using books in such a manner...

Staircases




We're studying patterns, connections and fasteners and while these images aren't exactly related to what we are doing, these staircases have beautiful forms and the repetition is relevant.

Dress

This dress is by Leanne, who won Project Runway one season. She has an Etsy shop. I'd be very happy with a dress like this.

What a provocative image.

The Mockingjay


I finished the Mockingjay today. It was a wonderful end to the series and I'm really happy that Grant gave it to me. I want to write more about it, but it's late and I'm kind of out of it, so I will need to save that for another day. On a side note, I'm glad I have this book, as I don't have the first 2 of the series and have been meaning to purchase them. When I don't feel strapped for cash as a poor graduate student, I will buy them!

Next up... Ender's Game has been recommended to me. I know they have similar names and seem to be similar sci-fi-ish books, but I'm sure it'll be a different experience and I look forward to reading it!
