Me, I’m a huge fan of robots. When I saw  this tutorial on Made by Rae, I was delighted. It’s so cheerful and fun!

There’s probably lots that you can do with these... if you have a dark-coloured wall, I imagine that robots made of aluminum foil would look really cool! Or, you could chain them vertically, or stack them in geometric patterns on the wall.

Love them!

This lovely cake was made to match this apparently popular dinnerware set it's served on. Beautiful!

Some great photos found on Steuso's photostream. His screenprints are awesome!

"Cats and Watermelons" by Gabriel Orozco

As I mentioned in a previous post, I saw the Gabriel Orozco exhibit in Basel, Switzerland, last week. This whimsical image is another one of my favourites-- it made me giggle when I saw it at the gallery, because I tried to imagine Orozco setting up the photo while other grocery shoppers milled around nearby, confused. 

It's really just begging for a lolcat-style caption...
