A little tableau and fresh color palette inspired by fruit and flowers.
These are hand dyed elastics drying outside before they become what I call, "Hair Candy", a perfect little gift -- and delicious stocking stuffer!
These are a nice little style secret for keeping your hair undamaged when you pull it back and are available here: http://www.nathalieseaver.biz/hahael1.html
Simple and concise.
Spotted near my doorstep.
Drove by this eye-catching installation in Silverlake on the way to a barbecue.
I had to stop and admire this clever and delightful design, repurposing wine and water bottles:
Really like the harmonious choice of blue and green glass and the graceful curves of the bottles when they're stacked together.
What to do with the leftover loaf after the dinner party? One solution is this:
Slice it nice and thin,
Place on a baking sheet,
Stir some cumin into a little bit of olive oil with a dash of salt,
Lightly brush the slices with the cumin oil,
Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes, until golden.
And voila! The best tasting crackers for crostini or cheese at your fingertips.
Or, you if you have a little extra time on your hands, you can also make an Haute Couture outfit:
This was a one in a series of outfits photographed by Ted Sabarese, collaborating with designer, Ami Goodheart of SOTU Productions for a project called "Hunger Pains", based on the models food cravings.

And by the way, this pre-dated Lady Gaga.
First electrical boxes were blank canvases, now an L.A. artist offers this cheeky homage on a dumpster near La Brea and 3rd Street.
PS ~ We have 4 dumpsters in our alley eagerly waiting to be transformed! Address to follow...
I love this artist's exquisite transformation of mundane objects.
This piece is carved from the side of a paper bag
Another installation creates a miniature forest from other discarded paper objects:
Yuken Teruya is the name of this magical artist.
Spotted in the Hollywood Hills
One of 4 trees in a row that seem to pop up out of nowhere on Olympic.
I love the pin point globes -- they look like tiny, frozen fireworks.
