Who knew chopsticks are a perfect setting for a woodpecker? The Stickpecker is created by Microworks and is available at GNR8. Hope this inspires you to keep your creative juices brewing.

Have you seen this one piece wonder by Washington-based Knitsome Studio? So beautifully designed! This is my new fave and so is the ruffled necklet, another wonder.

While having tea + toast in Toastbox, a rustic-style cafe, I fell in love with the nifty idea behind the 2-faced menu stand on the table.

Hinge to join at the top.

Screw eyes and a string at the bottom.

“Fold In Fold Out” is designed by the Origata Design Institute. Though the pictures don’t show, there are up to 32 different ways to fold this sheet up.

Origata is the art of gift wrapping using washi paper, an ancient Japanese tradition where wrapping is done with great care.

While browsing the shoe shelves in my favourite department store, I came across some cool shoes from UN (United Nude) and amongst them were these wow wild heels! Believe it or not I had the courage to try them all (except the boot, too shy to reach for it) and each time it felt like I was stepping on thin ice or rather more accurately walking on stilts!

How luscious are these pouches by Kinies?! Got to love the new take on ruffles!

The company HARAC makes these extraordinary cutting tools which I find irresistible!

I’ll be back on Wednesday after the CNY holidays. Have a great weekend!

This clip titled 赤い糸 which means red thread, illustrates life’s big + small moments with a red thread. A brilliant production by Okushita Kazuhiko [奥下和彦].

Watch out when the thread snaps and heals back .

Initially I had wanted to just tweet this to friends immediately after watching but I really couldn’t bear to leave the rest of you (who don’t tweet) in the dark!
