Create Retro Art for Your Tiki Bar in a Weekend
Philip Bradley shows how he created two mixed media works inspired by the mid-century WITCO furnishing designs of the ’60s.

How to Rebuild Society (with the Survivor Library)
Rocky Rawlins’ Survivor Library stores digitized 19th- and early 20th-century texts on how to build important machines and infrastructure, aiming to help civilization “survive when technology doesn’t.”
DIY Eames Inspired
Design buffs out there will love this fun DIY Eames inspired mobile that Grace posted over on Design Sponge. I am totally trying this mid-century homage!
The Portrait Blouse, from “Gertie’s New Book for Better Sewing”
Gertie’s New Book for Better Sewing is a fun new pattern book, featuring sewing patterns that embody author Gretchen Hirsch’s fresh take on vintage style. I was lucky enough to be able to pick one out to share with you all! I chose The Portrait Blouse because it’s a classic and many body shapes look good in this cut. If you end up using this pattern, I’d love to see pics of the finished top. Enjoy!
Mid-Century Asterisk Clock
Curbly kills it at the mid-century game, and I love their take on an atomic clock with this asterisk design.
