I guess I’ve let my science/crafty geek flag fly highly and proudly enough over the last several years, because I’ve had no fewer than five friends send me links to these amazing Large Hadron Collider Quilts in the last several days. I first saw them over on Boing Boing last week, and fell madly in […]
I adore modular design, and this beautiful movable painting wall from AM at Memory Radio is definitely the kind of art display that I can picture in my own home. He has such a great eye for style and color, and I can’t think of a better way to show off his paintings! This is […]
It’s a beautiful day in Brooklyn, so it almost feels wrong to post these fantastic zippered hand warmers from the Whit’s Knits column on The Purl Bee.

To kick things off, here’s a sampler of some of my personal favorite unusual natural materials from our archives, arranged in highly unscientific how-much-does-Sean-like-it order. There’s cool stuff here made from antler, acorns, fish scales, insect parts – even shark’s teeth! Enjoy!
