MATTER: BRAILLE
January 21st, 2010 by Maxine
I loved this essay so much, on Braille. Stephen Kusisto is a beautiful writer (I recommend his memoir, Planet of the Blind). More recently, a NYT magazine article covered the subject of Braille. I’ve always been drawn to it–my grandmother had a clipboard, on which she hand-poked braille letters onto paper, with a metal stencil [...] MATTER: PUMPKIN ART

Apartment Therapy does it again, with some great pumpkin pics. MATTER AND TIME
July 24th, 2009 by Maxine
We love to be on time, but we’re tempted to replace our watches with Roxy Marj’s beautiful faux watches. This talented illustrator and fashion design graduate is based in Utah for one year, and she is making herself busy. You can see her other work, here. MATTER:GARDEN

I’ve been following the garden of Blogger *Door Sixteen* in Newburgh, New York. Book designer by day, this woman has been plotting and building her backyard for several months. She’s making great progress. You can follower her progress, here. MATTER: IKEA HACKER
July 17th, 2009 by Maxine
Here’s one of our favorite inspirations for repurposing: IKEA hacker. If you have been drooling over the wide double locker (called PS), you may appreciate this new use for it. We also like the potholder that became a pinhole camera! MATTER: THE POST-IT NOTE

In case you thought post-it notes were just for work, Arthur Jones staked a claim on their behalf with narrative and illustrations. He’s made beautiful art and readings (check out Post-It Note Stories). Go ahead and send him your one-sentence story. DAYTRIP: WALLPAPER EXCAVATION

MATTER: POSTERS
April 6th, 2009 by Maxine
A good poster is like a window–a great view. And great views don’t normally come cheap. But posters do! If you need to breathe new life or landscape into your home or office, you might enjoy the poster round-up at Samantha Hahn’s blog, Maquette. MATTER: MARIMEKKO
February 6th, 2009 by Maxine
DesignSponge blogger, Grace Bonney brought our attention to Marimekko’s Spring 09 designs. If you are fighting the February blues, these swatches might brighten your day. I file this post away under inspiration but also “dream,” because we often dream of all the things we might sew with Marimekko fabric.
