Takanori Aiba...bonsai scupltures

how can one man go from being a maze illustrator in the 
early 80's to creating these magnificent bonsai scupltures? 
Aiba uses all forms of textiles from bonsai plants to 
ice-cream containers to bring to life his tiny metropolis's.
The nerd in the back of my mind which constantly chatters 
is saying right now "go on buy one of these...you know you 
want to!" And i really do...

A recent trip to our friend Burl's house revealed
a novel way to re-use an old pair of R.M William's.
Paint them white and nail them to the ceiling!

Ok, so its less than a month until Christmas (horrifying 
thought I know) and if you're anything like me and hate
giving lame presents then do yourself a favour and go to 
designdelicatessen for some seriously sexy and affordable 
gifts. Good luck.

Don't kid yourselves we all love tea! Be it milk 
on the side, green, a touch of honey or just 
straight up black, just think how much cooler 
you'd look making a cuppa from one of these magic
pots.
