abigail edwards:
Sometimes, great design can make a liar out of me. Just the other day, I was swearing off wallpaper, explaining that I was tired of pattern and ready for something clean, simple and new. Then Abigail Edwards’ new Seascape wallpaper designs came along, and I’m ready to throw that earlier proclamation out the window in exchange for a room full of those gorgeous hand-drawn waves. Abigail is launching these new designs tomorrow at Tent London, and if I were there, I would scoop up at least a dozen rolls of that beautiful brown pattern above. It’s begging to be used in my bathroom; it feels like the perfect thing to be surrounded by when relaxing in a bath. Sadly, I don’t see a lot of “relaxing in a bath” time in my future, but hopefully I’ll see some of this paper instead. It’s gorgeous. Click here to check out (and shop, $93 per roll) Abigail’s latest designs. xo, grace

By Daniele Del Nero, haunting and beautiful project called Brockenhaus, looking at all of the tiny paper houses all broken and falling apart is so strange, they have such a realistic appearance almost resembling WWII London in the Blitz. This is the same artist behind the eerie mould spore houses.

textile field by the bouroullec brothers
textile field by the bouroullec brothers:
You know that game (which I’ll abbreviate here) FMK? If I was asked to play that game and the Bouroullec Brothers were involved, I would marry them every. single. time. These two brothers are hands down my favorite designers around. They have literally never designed something that I didn’t immediately love and want to either own or explore in person. They approach design with that perfect combination of curiosity, problem-solving and beauty. I can’t say enough good things about them; they’re quite simply the best.
Along with Kvadrat, Ronan and Erwan designed a gorgeous new installation inside the V&A for the London Design Festival. They had free reign to choose any space in the museum, and they decided to create an amazing textile field that’s nearly 100 feet long inside the Raphael Cartoons Gallery.
Their intention was to create a more casual experience for viewers in what is often an intimidating and formal environment. The colorful foam and textile field invites guests to lounge, relax and enjoy the artwork from a more comfortable setting.
I’d love to install something like this in a basement, playroom or backyard, so guests (or children) could have unlimited space to relax. But until the Bouroullecs design an at-home version, I’ll live vicariously through these photos. If you’re in town, you can visit this for the rest of the month at the V&A. Well done, Ronan and Erwan. xo, grace

By Debbie Smyth, I have been to see her work before when she was the feature artist and it is mind boggling how many nails and threads go into constructing one. The clean inner lines are great when compared to the squiggly outer edges, I love the loose threads that hang from each image.

Doctor 3D prints a model of a bone for surgery preparation
Doctor 3D prints a model of a bone for surgery preparation:
3D printing for a hospital on a limited budget.
Mark Frame, an orthopedic surgical trainee in Glasgow Scotland, made a 3D print of a patient’s forearm himself for a thousand dollars less than the hospital.
He used the data from a CT scan and open source software OsiriX (medical imaging) and MeshLab to produce a printable 3D model. He then uploaded that model to Shapeways. After he received the model, he checked it for accuracy and was happy to discover it was a near-perfect replica of the bone. He spent 77 pounds sterling (roughly $120) in total. I think we can safely call that a significant savings compared to $1200.

3D printing for a hospital on a limited budget.
Mark Frame, an orthopedic surgical trainee in Glasgow Scotland, made a 3D print of a patient’s forearm himself for a thousand dollars less than the hospital.
One day in surgery an opportunity arose, a patient needed a 3D model created of their fractured forearm to plan their surgery to realign it. This had already been done via a university department and the model produced was out of proportion and only a truncated portion due to cost issues. Even with this it was still north of $1200 for the small model. I then realized I could do better and for less and challenged my self to produce a model.
