These poetic castile soap carvings were created by Arianna Vanini as part of an installation called, "tactile."
Each element represents a letter of the Braille alphabet. The letters compose the sentence, "the essential is invisible to the eyes," a quote from "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exup�ry...Because of the nature of the material, this work is intended to disappear.Read the Full Story » | More on CRAFT » | Comments » | Read more articles in Arts & Design | Digg this!

Magnetic Inspiration Board
These sleek, stylish magnetic fabric boards by are paired with covered-button magnets in the same prints - an easy, beautiful way to make an ever-changing inspiration board, or keep your important papers or project receipts handy in your craft room, kitchen or bedroom. MooreMagnets makes these in sizes from 10" x 10" to 24" x 24" and they mount right onto a wall. I really love the stems and leaves pattern and the Amy Butler Optic Blossom fabric versions - the unframed squares are so beautifully simple.
Inspiration Boards by MooreMagnets on Etsy, $22-55
Expedit Shelves
There are so many ways to use this versatile open shelving from Ikea in a craft room for organizing and storage - I like to cover simple cardboard boxes with scanned fabric to hold my color-coded scraps, while Rachel mentioned earlier this month that she hoped to make a cutting table that doubles as fabric storage for her new studio space with this clever project from Jamie at Prudent Baby.
Expedit shelves from Ikea, from $40 for a 2x2-cubby unit to $200 for a 5x5

You know that friend of yours who knows the most about nutrition and health? She's the person you call if you are curious about an obscure ingredient in a recipe, and you turn to her when you want advice on improving your diet? Well, mine just started a vegan food blog called vegan reira. So far, the talented Leila-Annette has "veganized" the classic breakfast muffins pictured above, as well as waffles. Be sure to bookmark her site so you won't miss any of her new posts.

Since we recently moved and undertook a massive home renovation, I haven't had much time to do my favorite craft of all: embroidery. Seeing these beautiful samplers from Craftster user, knohe, makes me really ache to pull out my hoop and floss. Simple rows of embroidery stitches make such a beautiful wall hanging, and are deeply therapeutic to stitch. I love the color choices and simple hoop hanging presentation.

Each of these coasters by Anders Hansen is a map of a section of Oslo.
This project started with my fascination for city grids, from the strict geometry of New York to the seemingly chaotic Bombay structure. At the time, living abroad and feeling a bit homesick, and I decided to use the map of Oslo, Norway as a starting point.

Amaze your kids by transforming two old toilet rolls and a few other recycled bits and bobs into a cool steampunk-inspired robot. Amaze them even further by balancing your robot on the edge of a ruler, table, shelf, or even your finger. And then triple amaze them by rotating the arms and revealing the steel heart in the body of the robot.
This is a fun summer project that's also an excellent way for your kids to improve their understanding of gravity and mechanics. It's also a very flexible project - while I gave�my robot all the bells and whistles (literally, there's a whistle on its head), you can easily customize your robot to suit the materials you have available.

This month we've been talking about organization in all its forms: craft rooms, supplies and even information. Today I'd like to share my thoughts on using Pinterest to organize and bookmark projects and inspiration for your crafting. Our own Diane actually introduced me to Pinterest last fall, and I've had fun steadily building up my boards. First, let's take a look at what exactly Pinterest is:
Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard.Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes.
Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests
You can read more about how to get an invite to Pinterest and how to set up your boards on their About page. You can set up boards for different subjects like craft projects, recipies, color inspiration, fashion, home decor - anything you want to group and pin projects to. They start you off with a few standard boards, but you can modify or discard them and add new ones as needed.
Pinterest is a brilliant bookmark fix for folks who are very visual. I love being able to see, at a glance, dozens of projects, recipes and color inspiration. It's also a fantastic way to bookmark in one consolidated space any visual ideas for a big project or event and then share them with other people so they can easily comment on what you've posted.
My first big foray into Pinterest was as a tool for capturing inspiration and links for our big home renovation we did this spring. I'd never embarked on a massive renovation before, and I had no idea how many details and decisions would have to be considered. Being able to visually bookmark things like faucets and light fixtures and then share them with my husband and decorator friend was a huge help. I must have looked at hundreds of bathroom sink faucets. It was borderline insane, but being able to grab images of the ones and have them all in one place so I could visually compare them was fantastic.
I also use Pinterest as a place to bookmark crafty projects or recipes I'd like to try. Some are things I find in my own daily blog reading, and others are ones I repin from the boards of folks I follow on Pinterest.
Another great way to use Pinterest is to compile color inspiration for your projects. Sometimes you might stumble across a picture that, regardless of its subject, has some fantastic colors that might work great in a quilt or sewing project. Setting up a board for color inspiration is a great way to get a visual kick in the pants when you're trying to brainstorm your next quilt's color scheme.
Here are some final tips for using Pinterest:
- Read the About page for full instructions on using Pinterest as well as pin etiquette.
- When you find someone you want to follow, take a few min to really study their boards and follow selectively. When you "follow all" you might find your page getting cluttered with stuff you didn't really care about.
- Set a time limit for yourself. Like many social media, Pinterest is awesome but can turn in to quite the time suck. There is a big rabbit hole ready to swallow you up, so be thoughtful about the time you spend there. Pick a time each day to check it out and give yourself 15 minutes or so and then close that tab. Sharing and being inspired is fun ... until you look up and realize it's two in the morning. (not that I'd know anything about that)
Do you use Pinterest to organize projects and inspiration? What have you found works best for you? Share your tips and favorite boards to follow in the comments!

This week's Math Monday over on MAKE had an awesome crafty bent.
If you knit, here's a stuffed, dodecahedral thing--I don't know quite what to call it--a toy, a pillow, a mathematical model? The shape is based on twelve 5-sided units like a dodecahedron. But they bump out, so the form is more like a small stellated dodecahedron. This was designed by Norah Gaughan, who provides instructions in this Berroco pattern.Read the Full Story » | More on CRAFT » | Comments » | Read more articles in Geek Crafts | Digg this!

Jeff Waldman is raising money to hang swings in public spaces.
What started last year as a conversation about the simplistic pleasures of swings has launched into a multi-city experiment in unexpected joy and cerebral happiness. Via contact info we left on the wooden seats we've received notes from those that used them, talking about the surprising smiles that were left on their faces. They wrote how their days were made better and how the emotions that emerged from stumbling across and using a random swing permeated their afternoon and infected those they came into contact with. The joy felt and the urge to spread it was contagious.
It seems like maybe they could make a few tire swings while they're at it.
