I haven’t done a link post in forever but there were so many great posts on Design Milk & Inspire Me Now this past week or so that I figured I’d just highlight them all at once so I can “inspire you now” to drink some good “design milk”. 

Good stuff at Inspire Me Now (one of my favorite blogs because it is clever, clever, clever!)

Some great off-kilter storage

“Ştefan Câlţiais a contemporary painter from Bucharest, Romania. Combining personal experiences (running away with the circus) with a vivid imagination, Câlţia manages to create dramatic characters, which remind the viewer of both Byzantine iconic figures and theatre-like characters, similar to those of Hieronymus Bosch.” See his work here – you really don’t want to miss this!

You may notice that I’ve added a new widget on the right that shows the last 5 links that I bookmarked on delicious.com.  Stay tuned because I update those any time I come across something new & interesting!

Here’s some lovely links I’ve been saving up to share with you all:

So in love with Susie Bubble’s post on Heal.  My favorite piece is the angel wings – 2nd & 3rd photo down.  Lust, lust, lust!  Also, here’s hoping Susie’s recovery is swift so she can get back on those heels she rocks so well!

Innnn-teresting - urban camouflage.

Leslie Hall is my inspiration.  How hilarious is this woman?  Craft Talk music video.

I’ve got to tell you – I finally GET fashion harnesses!  Not only do they define the waist, they also pull in loose fabric around the shoulders, showing off or even creating a lovely hourglass figure. Plus they look like something a kickass hit woman would wear – <wink>.   Thank you Pretty Portobello!

Grumpasauras - free knitting pattern.  That’s all I need to say.  Thanks Craftzine!

Another from Craftzine – Hellraiser Pincushion.  Loves it!

I see you LOL!

I think this is beautiful.  Books are really very magical, don’t you think?

I am in lurv with the FashionIndie’s “Random Cool Shit” feature.  Here’s one of the many great things they’ve brought to my attention – the barefoot stiletto.

A fun graphic map illustrating the growth of Walmart in America.  (It looks kind of like a fungus.)  Especially apt since many of us are forsaking ou other favorites stores in favor of Walmart & their low, low prices.

This one is from a while back but I really dig this DIY but not sure I trust myself to pull it off – childhood flames skull sweatshirt.

This one made me swoon – I never realized Sinatra was so hot when he was younger.  I finally get it about him.  Thanks Kingdom of Style!
