I am so happy to see that the ethereal artist Nicoletta Ceccoli has come out with new work. Unfortunately I live across the country and will not be able to see any of it in person. Here is some of her new work. You can purchase her prints at Copro Gallery in Santa Monica.
Now this guy has some ideas! I love how people passing by interact with his art. I bet this would be a fun thing to somehow integrate into a real swimming pool area. T see more of Leandro Erlich's work you can check out his website here .
I am loving this tutorial from Meg Duerksen that I saw linked on the UO Blog on how to rainbow cake. You can find the instructions on her blog. Luckily I know a special somebody with a birthday coming up that can use a gay little cake like this one :)
Thanks to the wonderful UO Blog I learned a the name of the display team responsible for a good bit of my window gawking. They go by the name of Aux Armes Etc and here is a sampling of their portfolio.
I first heard about San Francisco Designer Ken Fulk from a blog called Alkemie and Ohh aren't these pictures Dramatic? Possibly a new turn for Project Blancoyd? I like how he uses cabbage instead of flowers. That is something quirky that I thought only I did. Plus he loves the Waterworks Watertable sinks too. Unfortunately for me the price tag was a little too steep so I opted for an Ikea knockoff instead.]
Since I first visited the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City and laid eyes on their light bulb room that I refer to as a real life Vangoh's Starry Night I have always wanted to replicate it. Being that the recreation of Starry Night would cost me a fortune with Peco, our electric company, I found the next best thing....jewelry.

I am sure that many of you have been wondering what happened to me during my 1 year hiatus from Project Blancoyd. Let's just say I was a little preoccupied with a certain somebody and work kind of swept me off my feet. Here is a quick snapshoot of what I had been up to.
I have been following Danny Roberts for a little while now and all I have to say is WOW. He really is an amazing artist! If you get a moment take a peek at his work here.
1. Snip off the foot of a stocking and slip your pumpkin into something a little more sultry.
2. Gather the opening at the stem
and tie off the top with a rubber band or ribbon. Group several of
these sexy pumpkins in a bowl or on a table, light the candles and
voila! Maybe they'll inspire a sexy costume of your own.

Design Sponge did this awesome post today on how the movie Edward Scissorhands would translate into a real life home. I absolutely adore this movie and am currently thinking about how a giant topiary hand sculpture would look on the front lawn of Project Blancoyd.
"The world that genius director Tim Burton creates in Edward Scissorhands is split right down the middle, with both sides as surreal as the other. Edward’s abandoned industrial mansion is as dark and creepy as can be while the neighboring suburbia is a dizzying grid of cookie cutter homes painted in colors Burton described as “sea-foam green, dirty flesh, butter and dirty blue”. Not exactly homey. But beyond the ick factor, Burton injects tenderness and humanity into not only his characters but their environments as well. Having a young Johnny Depp around doesn’t hurt things, either. -amy m. "
I have really been getting into Fall this year. It is still my favorite time of year despite all the rainy weather we have been having. This year I finally got to check out the creepy old cemetery by my home. It has all of these amazing crypts from the turn of the century and earlier. There are so many beautiful statues and tomb stones too. Here are a few of the shots I got.
Along with my walk through the cemetery I carved pumpkins and had a few neighbors and friends over. Unfortunately many of my pictures came out goofy because I could not quite figure out that the reason why there was a mysterious shadow over every picture was because I kept putting my finger in front of the flash. My friend Jackie brought over these glow stick things you make necklaces from and I made some kick ass super hero pants which I wore proudly around Manayunk in Philadelphia.
