a few things

I’m into porcelain and ceramic figurines at the moment (hence, the two bunnies we found recently). Here are some by artist Barnaby Barford I saw in the nov. issue of wallpaper. They commissioned him to create these dolls to feature the latest looks by big brands like LV and Gucci. The pics are crap so best to just find the issue and take a look for yourself.













Lladro
does more traditional pieces. A lot of them are kinda cheese, but there are some pretty, more contemporary ones in there as well.

We walked into a new furniture store at Pacific Place today. Found a super cool rug, but unfortunately the price was way uncool - $42,000 HK. It’s from The Rug Company, designed by Committee. They also have some designed by Marni, Vivienne Westwood and others.



And lastly, Eug and I have been playing designer ourselves! We’ve been experimenting with dyes lately. We started off with tie-dye. Using my jr. high experience and a youtube tutorial we did some on headbands, socks and tees. It was fun, but a bit too hippyish. So then we just dyed t-shirts without all the swirls and stuff. Got some kinda cool results. Next, I want to try some on a light-colored pair of jeans. We’re hoping to host a night of Drinking and Dying (clothes, not like death-dying, of course) with a few friends soon. Hopefully the dyes we bought will survive washings.
