So I have started to get the feeling again that I just cant catch up with everything that needs to be done, and whether you have that feeling, think there is just not enough time in the day, or are actually always late, I think this clever clock would definitely make me smile when I saw it and brighten up my day for sure.

Hey there! Sorry it’s been such a long time since my last post. I have no excuse or explanation for my absense.
Anyways, tonight’s quick little post is about speakers, and how they don’t have to be dumb little things with knobs sitting on the corners of your desk. If you just put a little thought into it, you’ll find you can put speakers in anything. Anything.
The first item is hilariously called the “Woofer”. They are, for lack of better terms, a pair of headless dogs with speakers in their necks. Designed by Sander Mulder, they are a beautiful and bizarre duo.
You can find them here: http://www.gnr8.biz/product_info.php?products_id=626
Remember gramaphones? Yeah, those were the days. Well bringing back the antique way of projecting the hardcore beats of the 1870s is the awe-inspiring FH001.

The last speakers I’m featuring is only one simple picture, no info, no nothing.
Just. Rad. Speakers.
Thanks for reading,

This is by far one of my favorite pools ive ever seen! It was designed by Andres Remy Architects and was built in Devoto, Argentina. Not only can you see into the pool from the yard but because of the placement the family can even watch from inside the house on the sofa! I also love the non traditional wood that surrounds it that make it look more like a spa than the traditional concrete!
The pool fits into the landscape of the yard and surrounding buildings extremely well, while still allowing sunlight to hit the water and deck.
The view from the house of the pool is beautiful, and I imagine with the lighting the view at night time is equally amazing.

Today we feature an interview with Flora, from Reborne Jewelry! You may remember her work from this post! Even with a young family to occupy her, this amazing artist finds time to create one of a kind (not to mention recycled) jewelry! Be sure to check out her shop—you won’t regret it!
1. Give us a little background about yourself
I am a visual artist and who has a passion for creating jewelry with unnoticed materials. I originate from Hong Kong and have lived in both the U.K. and the U.S.. Now I am residing in Paris with my husband and my 3-year old daughter.
2. What do you do apart from designing/crafting?
I read, I hang out with friends and I am full-time mother to Inès.
3. How long have you been designing?
I have been designing since I was in design school, since 2005.
4. What is your most recent design?
I have just created some zipper earrings and rings. They have helped me to explore different design techniques and have also made me to visualise an object at a different angle.
5. How do you prepare yourself to create?
I need to be detached totally from my designs for a few days. I go out to take air at a country park or browse architectural designs at wherever the city has to offer. It could be at a church, museum, etc or it could be an object like a sculpture or pattern.
6. How much time do you spend in the studio on a day-to-day basis?
It varies. About 2-4 hours a day, depending on my daily schedule.
7. How has your business changed in the last year?
I launched Reborne Jewelry just over a year ago. The brand is getting known little by little through publicity from bloggers and I had the honor to have accessorised the dancers of the French pop star Hamid Fritz on stage during his performance of the NRJ Music Award in Cannes last January. Since May, I have also launched the Reborne Jewelry facebook fan page. It is a lot of hard work but I have a passion for what I create and I would like to share that with the world.
8. Is your work available from a source other than Etsy?
At the moment,my zipper jewelry can only be purchased online at my Etsy store. However, I forsee very soon within this year there will be a selling point available in Paris.
9. Tell us a random fact about yourself
Perfectionist….not necessarily is a good thing!!
10. Pirates or ninjas? Why?
Definitely ninjas. I love their swift moves!
Best,
Flora
