spoonflower

There's a clever company called Spoonflower that prints anything you want on cotton for $18 a yard. Pricey, but leaves you thinking why you didn't create this business.

Spoonflower has a Flickr page w customers' past designs.

You should just change your status to Jojo misses Emily Mock, Richel Kumar, Jenna Hwong and Sean Luong. That or Jojo misses everyone and RICHEL KUMAR! I prefer the last one.

Well, Richel is in San Francisco. And she has to be at Lowell.

Jojo Ho at 2:10am December 8
haaha! maybe if you updated your blog as much as you commented on my status, i would be slightly more inclined to miss you. haha

Richel Kumar at 1:24am December 9
Oh wow, Emily! OH wow! I am jealous!


:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not to be egalitarian, but I man I miss you too Jo.


And let this be a lesson to all - you should update your blog as ridiculously often as I do. Because then, people will get all these annoying alerts as to how ridiculously often you update your blog and cannot help but think of you ridiculously often (hope I do not sound painfully lonely)!
And lastly, bitches can't hate!

I douse my food with pepper at nearly every meal. School salt and pepper shakers are dead fugly - typical restaurant depot. But look at these bad boys!

Taste down to a science. Chemistry salt and pepper $18

Wind-up rolling salt and pepper $38

Banana bros salt and pepper $36

This is also from Chiasso. Romeo and Julienne cutting board! Lawl!! Make this yourself though. So easy!

And the favorite, from MoMA. I nearly bought this. Certainly looked at it for a long time. But decided against the $29. What do you think, worth it in utility and pc-ness?

New York, Part 4: MoMA

Picasso. Two Nudes (1906)

Picasso. Three Musicians (1921)

Paper chair

Eames!

Sorry - didn't annotate.

bright idea

Design Public makes these funny little bulb candles - CFL and incandescent! Too pricey though - $25 a merry pair.

Doubles as place card and napkin ring. I saw these at the MoMA Store. Now both display rings say E. Mock on them. Heh heh hehh!!

Green woven boxes. Meant to hold wedding favors, but how perfect for organizing stud earrings, buttons, and notions!

NY Times came out with their lists. Best art, architecture and design books list includes one on Le Corbusier. We've spent the last few weeks in class on his stuff. Can't say I like him and his creepy face and creepy glasses. I generally strongly dislike modernist architecture. Also because he designed for his ideal of the typical Person, who happened to be male and very much six-feet tall.

Villa Savoye by Corbu. Genius, especially in the interior layout, but me thinks too fugly to bear.

People talk very loudly in restrooms (also, I eavesdrop). And in Smith restrooms, people talk about these sorts of things:

New York, Part 3: Decor

I'd gotten off the train and was walking downtown to Union Square. Happened upon ABC Carpet and Home. I honestly cried. It was only a bit, but ohg!

I liked the art nouveau doors and gold-inlay bowls best. The chandeliers and all the reflective surfaces were wonderfully overwhelming.

ABC Carpet and Home is a really embarrassing name, but it has one of the most eccentrically beautiful interiors I've seen. Too many vendors, too overpriced and overvalued, too many chandeliers, too much electricity consumed - it was all so good.
