Call me a nutcase, but I have always wanted one of these, and have never seen any for sale until now. The texture and color and the sheer size…The only thing that keeps me from buying one right this second (for real) is the ‘more colors coming soon.’ (blue? black?)

“Their beautiful texture and vibrant color create a unique addition to any room.This special headdress is made of African bird feathers and has its own built-in self storage capacity, as the entire headdress can be turned inside out, with the feathers protected by inverted fiber cap.”

Available in Red. More colors coming soon.
13 inches tall, and is 29 inches in diameter when opened.

If you’d like to own some original stencil style graffiti art but can’t afford the art star(s), you’re in luck. This one is affordable as far as art goes, and the ‘spray-paint-plus-English-portrait’ is interesting and has just enough edginess.

“Henry’s spray art is a send up of classical English portraiture…Henry Reeve Designs and hand cuts each stencil, and then applies and sprays each one himself. For 66degrees.com, this small edition of 20 images will be applied to high quality artist’s paper…Each edition will ship with a certificate of authenticity, numbered and signed by the artist.”

The Campfire still life by Klein Reid brings the outdoors in. In large spaces, it would perfect for that void corner.

“Campfire includes three logs, five rocks and a stick, all in raw matte porcelain. as with everything from klein / reid, this piece’s detail is its real strength. ”

Domestic, a French company is teaming up with a bunch of cool designers (Jeremy Scott, Marcel Wanders, Kaws, Ich&Kar, etc.) to make some really cool wall appliquès. I like these floating cubes a lot.

“Ich&Kar, a tandem of graphic designers who cast an outlandish but qualified gaze on a range of subjects as varied as fashion, gastronomy, music, design and arcchitecture from luxury to consumer goods. Creators of messages and imaginative images turned into visual identity, their aim is to inspire sense with lightness and humour.”

Not only can you use these goldfish as a repository for notes or lists, you could also hang them in groups to be an interesting focal point on the wall of an office, hallway or kitchen.

Material: Magnetized blackboard surface on one side and adhesive on the other.

Approximately 13″ x 16″, varies by style.

This would definitely add a little quirky interest to a corner. I’m thinking I’d like to frame my old prom picture with the corner right between me and my date. What was his name again?

Recently I tried out imagekind, and I have to say the whole experience turned out rather well. They have all sorts of art you can choose from, with many different frames and mats, ‘canvas’ prints, or you can use your own pictures (I chose the story frame format). You’re able to preview different options immediately, which is a little addictive, and they ship it directly to your door. I can definitely say it beat the hell out of running to and from a regular framing shop. I love the internet.

While Roost has done many a carved animal, including a Carved Wood Deer Head and many wall-worthy Carved Wood Trophy Heads, now they’ve applied their expertise to a collection of birds.

“Various carved wood birds flock together in Roost’s feather-free
menagerie. These life-like and in some cases life-size birds are
hand-carved from solid basswood. The wood is left unfinished to
highlight its natural grain. Minor assembly required.”
