His precise, and often intricate designs extend from classic perforations to perfectly mainicured letters and logos.

These one-of-a-kind creations are the labor of love of Neil Harrison, a Southern California native who, after nearly two decades in the industry—first at Quiksilver, then helping friends get a "little brand" called Volcom off the ground—decided to slow down and work with his hands. Stormy Monday was conceived during a trip to Portland in late 2006—Harrison was in the Pacific Northwest visiting friends, one of whom had reshaped a couple of used skateboards and was drawing on them as an art project. Harrison made one for himself and after that, he was hooked.

This isn’t the inviting prose of a vacation brochure, but rather the sensations evoked by Camira’s latest collection of vertical fabrics. Vertical Fabric Collection. Manufactured by Camira.

Textiles with botanical silhouettes in fruity colours and carpets with influences from nature and its toning colour effects. This year Almedahls design studio has worked in collaboration with the designers Anna Kraitz, Iris Maschek and Pia Holm. Our focus is working with textiles in rooms. The point is to add the qualities of the textiles to the room, such as patterns, screening, sound damping, comfort and colours, the trio at Almedahls Design studio says. design almedahls carpet nature textile David Carlson http://davidreport.com/201112/plant-seed-form-function/ Thu, 22 Dec 2011 04:39:45 -0700 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/2modernDesignTalk/~3/IgO34u6fZUU/we-like-what-they-do-laura-carlin.html You know the drill: we believe a modern home is one that is only filled with the homeowner’s greatest loves–not cluttered to the brim with things they don’t need or really want. So when we pick out something–from the immensely huge wide world out there–to showcase, you better believe it’s because we love and think it would make an enriching addition to your modern home. Laura Carlin’s ceramics are just the thing. When you don’t like a lot of knick-knacks or clutter, you have to really be on the lookout for things that will add a lot of warmth to your house–you don’t want your living room or kitchen looking like a house staged to sell, do you? Laura’s ceramic pieces are filled with personality in an intoxicatingly folk art-like way; her art featured geometric patterns, rudimentary animals shapes, plant motifs and other rather charming elements. Her color palettes walk the line between bold and subtle and feature enough hues to both be colorful and subdued.

To help keep the craftsmanship heritage alive, Aimee Bianca and her Moroccan husband Chafiq Ennaoui came up with Beldi, a country-specific online shop highlighting select housewares and accessories. Explaining they noticed "more and more cheap plastic stuff from China in peoples' homes" when visiting Morocco, the pair not only expose the country's finely crafted objects to the world, they also give online shoppers a fresh destination for items that are often difficult to source. Spanning classic Moroccan rugs to bathwares and leather accessories, Bianca says because Ennaoui grew up in the medina of Marrakech, "almost everything we have is from people Chafiq knows personally, some of the artisans he originally knew through his grandfather or since he was a child."

Asking his subjects to sit still for a one-off tintype portrait, Shindler began Photobooth—a studio, shop and gallery space—in late August 2011 as a way of putting tangible value back into the typically digital medium. Shindler captures a person's image directly on a tintype or stainless ferrotype plate, then exposes them in the adjoining darkroom using a mix of chemical solutions. Because there's no negative, the image on the plate is the only record of the moment captured with each subject. The uniqueness of the image combined with the intimacy of when it was taken elevates the simple portrait into something much more. Shindler spent several years honing his technique, essentially the culmination of meticulous culture handmade photography portraits printing sanfrancisco services Karen Day http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ch/~3/368i4vPu1vo/photobooth.php Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:51:09 -0600 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ch/~3/4W0uS4fjWFQ/cc-made.php Artisanal caramels from California with distinct salt flavors Wanting to share her distinctly flavored caramel products with a broader audience, CC Made founder Cassandra Chen teamed up with her cousin, Emily Hou, to create their line of artisanal caramels. Once reserved for lucky family members, the California-based product is now sold in gourmet food stores all over the state. Offered in three variations—Bitter Sea Salt, Madagascar Vanilla and Himalayan Pink Salt—the caramel confections are each flavored by a different salt added to a base blend of cream, sugar, butter and corn syrup. The creamy consistency of caramels delivers rich, mouth-watering flavor. Infused with the right amount of salt, these soft caramels do not overwhelm the palate with sweetness. The muted sugary tones melt away as quickly as the candy in your mouth does. The lightly bitter finish was satisfying to some, but those with a serious sweet tooth hoped for a little more body.

But in 2008, drawing inspiration and technique from a lifetime of shipbuilding, the woodworker produced his first bike constructed entirely of mahogany, including frame, fork, seat, seat post, handlebars/stem combination and even rims. Using mahogany lends flex and responsiveness in a way no metal frame can, which in turn gives riders an elevated sense of control and increases pacing possibilities. A number of Sano's prototypes have been raced professionally, excelling in both ideal and inclement weather. In the three years since starting the project, Sano has handcrafted 11 of these fully wooden bicycles, making improvements that shave the average weight of his full builds down from 11 kilograms to around eight.
