Earth is Just a Game
New work by Element Eden Advocate, Lisa Soberg! This piece is titled “Earth is Just a Game” – I’m digging all the blues juxtaposed with red type. Check out the rest of her work on her blog here.
Earbud Embellishments
I can’t say that I’ve ever plugged in my ipod and thought “geez, I wish my earbuds were more exciting!” But perhaps you have, and in that case, this product would be right up your alley. A collab by Japanese companies BLESS x audio-technica x Chikazawa Cable, these earbuds are accessorized with various embellishments like fringe and rhinestones – and at 12,600 YEN (or $126 US), they’re not exactly affordable en masse. I suppose I could glue gun some lace to my own headphones if I was really in the mood, but I’m not too sure about this one… What do you think? Trend or trash?
Parasol Magazine
A brand-spankin’ new online magazine made its debut yesterday called Parasol. Created by the editor of A Print A Day, this is surely going to be my newest go-to source for monthly inspiration. This month’s issue features great interviews with some design favs including Rafe Totengco, Anja Verdugo, Elle Moss, and many others. And the best part is it’s completely free! Download your issue here.
SISTERS FOREVER
Here is my side of a little art-swap project i have been working on. I made these for art director & genius, Todd Francis’ two beautiful daughters.
Sending ‘a pinch & a punch for the first day of the month’ to everyone… No returns! 
Alphabetter
Swooning over this collage alphabet I found on NotPaper! Created by Therese Vandling, the piece is inspired by ‘The Unfinished Body’ – a quote by Mikhail Bakhtin. Each letter is a little work of art, and you can see them all up close here.
RAAAAAAAA!
Hello Eden family & friends,
I have been invited to the wonderful world of Element Eden and its blog, so expect to hear from me soon and often.
Sincerely,
Power to the Planet Ukiah
Shout out to Ukiah! If you’re in the area, come to our Power to the Planet Trunk Show at Freedom Skate Shop this Thursday.

Did we mention there’s raffles and free food too? More info here.
EZ Embroidery
Loving these little bowls from Industreal… Simply buy a blank bowl for your ‘frame’ then pick your pattern to embroider your own dots, flowers, and phrases. Too cute!
Flower Power
Every year, my friend and I make a pilgrimage to the Los Angeles Flower Market for Mother’s Day… but oh what I wouldn’t give to trek out to THIS flower market in Barcelona! I’m pretty sure that whatever money we’d save by buying flowers wholesale would be offset by the trans-Atlantic plane ticket. Oh yeah, and the Euro.
