Punk In Boots

DIY Mini Book Necklaces with Charms. I have posted 3 or 4 mini book jewelry tutorials and I keep saying, “Oh, this is the best one.” But this is my favorite. Clear instructions, love the grommet closures tied with leather, love the keyhole. For the tutorial and other ideas go to Art by Wendy here. I got a GC to Michaels and will get a crop-a-dile using coupons of course.

The art: Karen Halverson, Cosumnes River Preserve, 2000. The Cosumnes River Preserve, a tiny little silver of protected land that sits between Sacramento and Stockton, Calif., protects the only remaining unregulated river that flows west out of the Sierra Nevada.

The news: “The Trees Are All Right,” a defense of public lands for the New York Times’ Opinionator section by Timothy Egan, one of my favorite writers on the American West.

The source: Collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

hazor:

Lisa Nilsson‘s “Tissue Series” are anatomical cross-sections made of paper. Beautiful work.

This type of artwork is known as quilling. I used to make old-fashioned filigree flowers with quilled paper when I was a kid, but Lisa Nilsson takes this old art form to a new level.

Check out the full article with loads of photos on the Colossal Art & Design website here:
