bookmark for next year’s Christmas miniature village.
good:
Last year, Americans spent almost a billion dollars on 27 million Christmas trees, according to the National Christmas Tree Association. It takes eight to 12 years for the average evergreen to grow into fluffy adulthood, at which point it’s typically chopped down and trashed within a month or two. And artificial trees are often made in sweatshops in China and rot for centuries in landfills. (Plus, their plastic leaves aren’t fooling anybody). So where’s the Yuletide greenery enthusiast to turn? Check out these creative and DIY alternatives to the traditional fir or plastic holiday centerpiece that rely on materials you’ve already got around the house.
DIY Facial Wrapping Paper. I love looking at pretty wrapping ideas but I am lazy, but I would do this. This has be so mislabeled all over the internet and because of it no one saw or posted these great facial features you can cut out and use on your own brown craft paper presents (look under the photo and click on “02” for these). *EDIT: you may have to resize there using photoshop, GIMP or whatever program you have. These are by Emma Hässel here:

Hong Kong-based design duo Chan Oi Yau Riyo and Kwong Ho Sun Howard of Shannnam exhibited “Fragmented Chronicles” at this year’s Tokyo Designboom Mart, part of Tokyo Designers Week 2011. The collection is composed of 100 rings, each with a landscape frozen inside. The jewelry spans different topics, from children’s characters to nuns standing in the snow, a woman walking with a suitcase to a shepherd with his sheep. Each is a visual story invoking a reaction and stirring the imagination of the wearer. (via Designboom)

We featured an earlier turn-a-pallet-into-a-garden project here. But still, this is another good how-to. Check out both and compare and contrast! One thing I’m wondering is why nobody seems to decorate their pallet — painting it, or covering it with Unconsumption logos, let’s say. Anyway, here’s the how-to: diy project: recycled pallet vertical garden | Design*Sponge
Mind Your Steps
Workshop, 2011Assignment: Every three days, for three weeks, we are assigned one new contemporary artist. We pick one piece of art from the artist, write a text about it and make three jewellery sketches inspired by the text.
Second artist up is Méret Oppenheim. I didn’t know a lot about her until I did some research. I found one of her paintings, “Large Cloudy Sky Over the Continents” (1964) and was drawn to it. I liked the shapes, suspended, floating in the air. That is what became my inspiration for this necklace sketch.
