Carbon Neutral Actions

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Michelle Twohig writes in:
"The debate over global warming continues. Ad nauseum. My lens about carbon neutral actions takes a new tack: don't wait for the debate to be resolved. It won't be. Oh ick you say? Is my lens political? Actually, no. It's apolitical. I want people to think for themselves and just do what [...]

Madelaine’s Art

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

So You Want to be a SURFER

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

Surfing has been around a long time (at least 3 years). IMHO (in my humble opinion) its the #1 sport (though it doesn't get as many people watching it on TV as the World Cup does, yet). Especially since its been so hot recently (surfing is done in the ocean, in case you weren't sure, [...]

Making Your Own Envelopes

Thursday, July 13th, 2006

I never cease to be amazed by the passion craftsters have for their work, let alone the obscure projects they choose to take up.
Exhibit A: Valerie Franek's lens on making your own envelopes.

If you've ever seen Apple's packaging, or Oddica's, then you know how strong an impression packaging can make. The abundance of D.I.Y envelope [...]
