The Beauty of the Bead - by Annette Labedzki

absolutearts.com Portfolio I’ve always wondered why I love beads so much. I' m not from African descent, there is no history of beadwork In my family; so why do I have this fascination and obsession with beads? I have a large collection of beads, including vintage, wood, and glass, plastic and shell beads. Well, the most obvious reason is that beads in themselves are a work of art. Each one has its own story to tell and its own beauty. Beads have the ability to transform a utilitarian object ...

"refaites" à l'art fin de G

Iván Navarro, Assembly Line, 2008. From time to time, a piece seems set to run but falls to the wayside for one reason or another. A story might fall through the news hole. Features stack up: A backlog of reviews as an issue's coming together might leave no room for a recent submission, even though it's been accepted.

Two Level Distressed Oak Panel Desk (Metairie, LA) $65

This fine wood and metal desk was personally hand crafted from recycled materials. I like to think of this style of furniture as the furniture of the future. I love the feeling of balance I get when looking at this piece. From the recycled materials found in nature to the leaning frame, it all seems connected and inviting. Thanks in part to the recycled materials, this work of art is affordable under any budget. I plan to use the proceeds from this sale to continue my efforts in the area of recy...

Joe Davis is telling me about his design for a 110-foot lightning-laser tower that will literally seize a hurricane’s force, bottle it up and hurl it angrily back into the sky. It’s intended as a memorial for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Davis—whose official role at MIT is research affiliate associate in the biology department—plans to name the tower "Call Me Ishmael." I ask him why, but before I finish the question, he smashes his steel peg leg down onto the table, making me jump i...

I like big backpacks and I cannot lie?

clipped by: William Hung Clip Source: www.yankodesign.com Texts from the designer: The idea behind this project is to recycle products in a new and novel way. We were asked to think freely in the use of materials and applications for the project such as creating art pieces, user experience and enhancing the way we work. For Peach I used mannequins, I decided to use human like display forms and breathe new life into them to add a sense of fun to an otherwise spiritless form. I used the discarded ...

This stainless steel and black leather range hood is from Elica, a company that definitely raises the range-hood bar. All their pieces are as much sculpture and art as functional kitchen appliance. I'll be the first to admit that this hood is too classy for my kitchen, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't spend some quality time with it on the side... maybe get it its own apartment, you know. Here's th...

Experience into Art: Robert Rauschenberg's The Lotus Series at Blue Sky Gallery

Robert Rauschenberg Lotus V, 2008 Pigmented Ink-jet and hand painted photo-gravure on Somerset velvet 45.75 in. x 60 in. x 1.75 in. Print Edition by ULAE Rauschenberg was a great photographer. The first works he sold to the Museum of Modern Art in New York were photographs. The surprising thing is that even though he could capture whatever he wanted in front of a camera, it was never enough. Perhaps it was not real enough because the life and energy that would swirl around him seemed much riche...
