I love-love-LOVE these installations by Sarah Applebaum. How long does it even take to make one of these? I have no idea. It would probably take me decades, and then it wouldn’t look half as cool as these do. You can see more of her work on her site.

Oakland Murals

The front page of the Oakland Tribune this morning showed workers putting the finishing touches on Jack London Square’s newest murals. Craftzine’s blog also had more details about the project – the art is a form of lenticular murals composed of over 4,500 tiles – all handpainted! The tiles took 8 months to paint, and unfortunately I can’t seem to find any other pictures of this online – I really want to see the animation effect when viewing the piece from different angles. If anyone lives in Oakland, send us a photo so we can see the whole shebang!

Le Pomme Stories is the creative outlet of Apol Lejano-Massebieau, an accomplished writer from France who creates whimsical fictional short stories with found objects and vintage books. I love that each book is completely unique and that the pages contain little sewn illustrations – I’m sure the stories are wonderful as well! This little gem is already on hold for someone (lucky girl!) but there’s lot’s more to check out at the Le Pomme Stories shop…
