Quoted from The Guardian:
There are knitters, and then there is the mighty Kate Jenkins. You won’t find woolly mittens or granny blankets in her craft room. No, her needles whip up something much more interesting. Last year she turned a London art gallery into a proper British caff, complete with bangers and all, and took over Brighton beach with her stitched-up fish and chips. Now she’s turned her crochet hook to a load more tasty treats in her new exhibition.
Come Dine With Kate is at the Rebecca Hossack gallery in London until 24 July. Thanks to Andrew Droog for the link.

The Village of Mardale was flooded in 1935 as the Manchester Water Corporation built the Haweswater Dam. A whole community was up rooted never to return, even the bodies were exhumed from the church grave yard. But every now and again during extended dry spells remnants and evidence of this former community and the village re-appear. Some say that on a still summers evening you can still hear the haunting sound of the old church bell tolling across the valley.

Quite remarkable really. I could never get anything better than wonky line and a couple of pathetic circles. To see more Etch A Sketch marvels look here.

The ultimate in garden furniture. Gray Concrete have created a cast concrete Chesterfield complete with a cast 50 pence piece down the back of the cushions. As a company they push the possibilities of concrete to the limits having also created items such as concrete wallpaper.

Lovely idea for a proofreader’s website here. Very simple, nicely written and brings a smile to your face.
Thanks to Patrick Lee for this, he also has some really nice work here.

Traveling down the East coast of Australia the other day we passed through a typographic time warp – a tiny country town called Bellingen. The town has enormous character and charm, thanks to the number of historic buildings that have been preserved. Faded weatherboard facades peer out from the verandahs that line the main street. The town’s New Age tendency is obvious in the whimsical architecture and in the cafés and street advertising.
Even the town clock had stopped…
