Stereoscopic Images – Miracles of the Imaging

Stereoscopic Images – Miracles of the Imaging: "

People have mastered two-dimensional imaging techniques, such as drawing, lithography, photography, and others centuries ago, but they have always aimed at mastering the art of recreating three-dimensional images on flat surfaces. This may seem to be a miracle, an illusion; however, in 1838 Sir Charles Wheatstone made the first step toward the materialization of the miracle, when he created the first stereogram images and a device, called stereoscope, enabling people see a picture with the depth and perspective while looking at the pair of seemingly usual flat images. Today, we want to showcase a gallery of stereoscopic images, representing the so-called wiggle stereoscopy – a simple yet interesting method of creating 3D effect.

cute and tasty: pantone chip cookies

cute and tasty: pantone chip cookies: "

Well hello, Awesome. I couldn’t think of a better way to start today than with these seriously amazing Pantone Chip Cookies from Kim Neill. Kim is a freelance designer and illustrator and she created these fabulous Pantone cookies using her collection of Pantone chips. Inspired by this fun Pantone tin ($28), Kim worked with Royal icing to create the exact colors and even broke out her luster dust to create metallic “chip” cookies. Once the icing set, she used an edible marker to add the Pantone numbers and voila! The perfect treat for an art opening, birthday party or even a child’s art class. Click here to check out Kim’s post and replicate the look yourself. Thanks to Nikko for the tip! xo, grace

Gabriel Dawe

Gabriel Dawe: "

It’s a bit gloomy In L.A. today so I figure these installations by Gabriel Dawe would be a great way to brighten my mood. These installations are titled Plexus and use gütterman thread and nails for the most part, maybe a piece of wood and some installation hardware and that’s it. The overall effect is beautiful, like when the sun shines through those misters you see outside of restaurants. Also really ethereal like you could go running through it but it might smell or taste like candy. I wonder if he would come to my apartment and just make a quick one of these for me, y’know, like in my dining room?

Amazing Paper-Artwork by Karen Bit Vejles

Amazing Paper-Artwork by Karen Bit Vejles: "

Karen Bit Vejles form of expression, psaligraphy, literally means the art of drawing or painting with scissors. Her magical cuttings in the travelling exhibition Scissors for a Brush, are rooted in a tradition that has known a long journey through history. But she has created a personal style and technique that are entirely her own.

For more than 35 years she has been absorbed, fascinated, and deeply committed to this art form that developed from small, simple snowflakes to unusually large and highly complex image cuttings. She is one of very few in Europe who can cut at such an advanced technical and artistic level. There is a great degree of humour in Karen Bit Vejle’s world of imagery; humour and the ability to identify joy in small things. Just as often, though, she confronts deep seriousness and themes intended to invoke involvement and reflection. Her works are captivating surprise packages. By meeting Karen Bit Vejle’s images of air and paper we can find ourselves both surprised and inspired!

Psaligraphy

Psaligraphy - the art of papercutting - requires time. Both when it comes to creation and experience of the work of art. Contrary to almost everything else in the world today, psaligraphy is a slow art. It takes time to master, plan and perform it.

“My heart and soul are at peace when I have the scissors in hand and the paper dances between the blades. If my scissors can manage to make you stop and wonder for just one instant, I will be happy” – Psaligraph Karen Bit Vejle (born 1958)

Neha Gandhi and Matsya

Neha Gandhi and Matsya: "

Meeting Neha Gandhi of Matsya was one of the most inspiring things I did last week. Somehow I just knew all the amazing products Matsya makes is just the tip of the iceberg. And sure enough, the one hour I spent chatting with Neha in her office gave me insights into the vast amounts of experience and passion that Matsya comes from. From a fine art degree in Ceramics to a Golden Bridge Pottery course in Pondicherry to being a faculty at NID to the Gujarat earthquake in 2001 which was a turning point in her life, followed by a rigourous 4 year stint with the BSC (an NGO) where she directly helped the villagers to form a supplimentary livelihood, Neha Gandhi has lived a full life steadily gaining every experience and expertise that she would need as the founder of Matsya.
Through the conversation one thing that came out clearly to me was that Neha's heart was with the villagers in Gujarat who created all this art. Speaking about the earthquake she remembers the contrast she witnessed: on one side the destruction of the earthquake and on the other side the incredible artistry of rural Gujarat.

While Matsya moves from strength to strength the one thing that will always be important to Neha is the artisan behind the handicraft, his & her story and her conviction that due importance should be given to them.
When I asked her what according to her Matsya is, this is what she said 'Matsya is the bridge that connects the grassroots and the urban customers. But for me it is boring to just source and sell. What is the story, who are the people, who is the artisan behind the produced is very important. And no one was giving importance to them. What we do at Matsya is train the artisan, see what they have in mind, and give them a sustainable livelihood'










One of the most interesting things that Matsya does is, it organises craft Tours to Kutch. Neha's experience and expertise in the field is what you will get if you sign up for one of these. I'm myself hoping to gowith her someday soon.

After an hour full of recounting her and Matsya's brilliant journey with me Neha told me something I'm not likely to forget easily 'Everything is not about money. Its about values. Its about people connecting. I have realised that you dont need money to realise your dreams. All you need is your determination and confidence. Nothing is permanent, everything changes. But you have to be at it, you have to do it.'
