 Inspired by a drawing her son made, Wendy Tsao took to her sewing machine and recreated the sketch into a soft toy. Since then she has made over 600 custom 'softies' for children from their drawings. Although she often receives comments and advice on growing the business, she loves what she does and prefers using her skill as more of a craft. http://www.childsown.com/ 
 To celebrate the production of over 100 billion pens, BIC launched the Universal Typeface Experiment. Users from around the world contribute their own 'handwritten' letters which are then incorporated into a continuously-evolving single typeface. Contribute your own writing or check out the experiment here: http://theuniversaltypeface.com/home
gawck's FUNNY SIGN FRIDAY™: PS: Nut and seed related garbage is appreciated. (image from: www.oddlyspecific.com)  Jim Bachor is making a functional and artistic statement by filling in potholes on Chicago streets with one-of-a-kind mosaics. Inspired by ancient art styles in Italy, he has filled about seven potholes with original mosaics. Bachor says the mosaics are, "Meant more as a sense of civic pride than a form of complaint against the city, as the potholes are an inevitable part of living in Chicago." The mosaics cost him about $50 each and take considerable time to install. They aren't meant to be a permanent fix, but have surely inspire a lot of smiles around the city this spring! http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/05/chicago-artist-mends-potholes-with-mosaics/  |
