I like the stark yet decorative quality to these black bird mobiles.

“Each mobile is laser cut from 100% museum board. Available only in black, the finished size is approximately 10 inches x 13 inches. The Bird Cage has only one moving piece, the large bird in the center. The Bird House has five moving pieces.”

Based on characters and stories by Mr. Clement when he was 15 (in 1995), there is now a set of the figurines and (now out of print) graphic novels available in limited edition.

“The poseable figures come with a knife and an envelope. The Gourgeous Habour is Mr. Clement’s latest work, featuring an “astro lapin” and touching on love in a rapidly changing world. Some mature themes.”

The purveyor of meatballs just made the wall sticker trend a LOT cheaper.

Jennifer Khoshbin covers resin deer heads with all sorts of patterned papers, making an altogether modern-yet-quirky trophy. Also, check out her Book Projects, where she cuts and carves pages of books to create some intriguing images.

“Beautifully papered, resin deer head. No deer was hurt in the making of this craft!
Features removable antlers and a keyhole hanger in the back.”

Posters are an inexpensive way to get some good art on your walls; a case in point is this particular one by Wayne Pate- it’s bold and graphic, yet not much more than what you’d spend on a decent dinner.

“Beautiful screen printed poster by Wayne Pate of Good Shape Design. Signed by the artist.”

Designer: Good Shape Design, Brooklyn, NY

18×24 inches

I think there’s nothing like a nice graphic print to add visual interest to a wall without breaking the bank.

This fluttery mobile would add a soft movement to a corner spot or area, don’t you think? Shown in white with green accents.

7 x 36 inches.

Mobiles are an excellent way to take advantage of all that empty space above our heads. Plus, watching a mobile move slowly around is supposed to help you relax, and who doesn’t need that?

“Charles and Ray Eames liked to surround themselves with traditional craft objects from around the world, which they collected on their extensive travels. One of their favourite objects was a bird made of black painted wood that was produced in the Appalachian Mountains at the beginning of the 20th century. The figure accompanied them from the 1950s onwards and can be seen in many photographs of the Eames’ living room. Based on the original artefact and in cooperation with the Eames Family, Vitra is now producing the first series of this figure.”
