felt things.

Sweet birds, sea creatures, boats, telephones and silverware, Lauri Faggioni's felt objects take on a life of their own. Her work has been featured by Michel Gondry in "The Science of Sleep," and Devendra Banhart's "A Ribbon." Sadly, her store, Lake, in the East Village is no longer with us. 

Hopefully, we'll see more of her children in films.

lost things.

I am absolutely in love with this video by Angela Kohler and Ithyle Griffiths; it combines three of my most favorite things: stop motion animation, vintage knick knacks, and Alison Sudol of A Fine Frenzy. There's so much texture, whimsy, and sense of adventure.

Miss Kohler's other works in her portfolio are also very impressive.
