Nice Things

Hooray for Friday! This week's nice things list is a little short, but hopefully sweet.


1. I am so inspired by Nami Yamamo's silhouettes. This picture makes me want to trace everything on my desk.

2.  I find myself really wanting to try Honestly...WTF's gold painted jeans tutorial.  If only I could find jeans that fit at the thrift store!  Does everyone else have trouble with jeans, or is it just me?


3.  Sandy of the 1000 Crane Mission has a simple and sweet idea: write positive messages on 1000 paper cranes and place them in public areas for people to find.  Love it!


4.  The vintage paper dolls in this collection are so fabulous; how great would they be magnetized?

5.  Finally, I meant to share this nice thing weeks ago, but somehow my addled brain overlooked it!  Elizabeth Abernathy kindly sent me a copy of her new E-publication, Nuno Magazine, while I was in Greece.  I loaded it onto my iPad and literally devoured it (okay, not at all literally - I think that eating an iPad wouldn't be a very good idea.  Anyway, it is awesome).  Gorgeous photography, inspiring and creative projects, and a fantastic 'forest' theme throughout.  You can download the entire magazine (150 pages with 30+ projects) for $5, or check out a free preview with 28 pages and 3 projects at the Nuno Magazine site.  Congrats, Elizabeth!



Do you have any nice things to add to the list (either that you've posted yourself, or that you've come across somewhere else on the web)?  Share in the comments below!
