Hole in the wall?

Cadence designed a residence in Bangalore, India, which features cast-concrete external walls decorated with perforations.

Taking the classic diagram of the traditional courtyard house, they moved the court to the corner to create new spatial and formal effects. Incorporating the “outside” inside, the living room and the bedrooms feel much bigger and have a sectional relationship with the open to sky court.

The courtyard is further articulated by placing a sculptural elements that would serve as an informal dining area as well as a tub for housing a tree.

Caitlin Parker

I have always had a fascination with miniature anything and Caitlin Parker's art installation "Let the Outside In" is a beautiful mix of decay and nature.

"This is a time lapse video in progress. I am an artist. I built this house and put it in my yard. I planted North East Native plants in and around the house. A hunting camera/motion camera is set up to take stills of the house as it evolves, decays from weather, as animals wander through. This is ongoing, so far only two and half months have been documented. I plan on one year, to watch the seasons change..."

Recycled Bits

Ever since I started taking t-shirts apart for the Etsy store, I have been saving every last bit of cotton. Hems started piling up so I made a bunch of these cute braids ...

Hiddenite Gems, Emerald Hollow Mine

I just discovered this! So close to my home... I have to make a trip soon.

"The Emerald Hollow Mine is the only emerald mine in the United States open to the public for prospecting. Nestled snugly in the foothills of the beautiful Brushy Mountains, this North Carolina Emerald mine is located in the small town of Hiddenite, North Carolina. This locality is recognized as one of the most unique and interesting geological locations on the North American continent. Host to more than sixty-three different types of naturally occurring gems and minerals, a virtual treasure trove of gemstones can be found at our gem mine! Many of these are very rare, including emerald, aquamarine, sapphire, garnet, topaz, amethyst, citrine, rutile, and tourmaline, along with an abundance of world class smoky and clear quartz crystals. Hiddenite is also famous as the only place on earth where the very rare gemstone "Hiddenite" can be found!"
