Mr. Boudin

I love this charming little line of cards from Lab Partners based around “Mr. Boudin” – a stylish Parisian daschund. So cute! You can find them at Lagom.

Even more Alice

Continuing in our Alice of Wonderland theme – check out these amazing baked goods created by Bakelab and inspired by Alice.

Alice in Wonderland

thebeet — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:00:24 +0000

So are you going to go see Alice in Wonderland? Well, if you can’t make it to the theatre you should at least check this out. It’s the first ever film made of Alice in Wonderland – dating back to 1903. The British Film Institute has restored it (as much as possible) and released it for viewing – it’s silent and only 9 minutes in length – and is just very, very cool.

Ok Go

A rather inspired little video from those guys at OK Go for their new song “This too shall pass”. Enjoy!

Have a great weekend

Spring is definitely in the air – I hope you all get to enjoy a little bit of sun this weekend! Once again I’ll leave you with a few bits and bobs from around the web this week:

A great t-shirt.

Love this idea for making tea towel art.

I can’t even imagine what was involved in making this – pretty darn cool!

I need one of these for work – where everyone seems to be addicted to farmville (I so don’t get it!).

A typographic artifact a day – for all you typophiles out there (you know who you are).

Want!

Who knew paperclips could be so cute.

This is one of most amazing things I’ve ever seen (click on the photos to get an idea of the scale).

Can’t stop playing with this!

A cute stop action film (Tip – it gets better as it goes). (Video)

And an adorable stop-action engagement photo shoot! (Video)

Finally, a hilariously nerdy video set to Kesha’s Tik Tok. (Video)

Steeltoe Studios

Blacksmith and artist, Erica Gordon makes amazing hand forged belt buckles and hand dyed belts – and, not only that, she does it in a conscientious and sustainable way. So amazing!

I am absolutely in love with the recycled bike tube belt with the multifont buckle pictured below. Be sure to check out her site – Steeltoe Studios – where you can mix and match your own buckle and belt to order (or even design them for your kids) and also check out some of her other work.

Surfrider|Rise Above Plastics

A really effective little reminder from Surfrider as to why we should all be using reusable water bottles and shopping bags. Isn’t it time for you to Rise Above Plastics?

Blabla

thebeet — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:00:25 +0000

I love the toys and accessories designed by Florence Wetterwald and handknit by Peruvian artisans for Blabla. Seriously – so cute!

Les Queues de Sardines

Great tights and leggings from Les Queues de Sardines’ spring 2010 collection. Time to ditch those plain black tights for something more fun!

70 Million

A fun little video for Hold your Horses new song “70 Million” in which the band members recreate famous pieces of art throughout history in their own unique way.
