It’s easy enough to find recipes for croissants online, but “how-to” videos like the one below by Vancouver-based artist Justina Yang of Fiber Lab are extremely rare and a big treat for the viewer. Can you believe that Justina’s medium of choice is paper?
Paper!!!
I came across it last night after reading Grace’s feature of Justina’s Valentine’s Day video on Design*Sponge. Oh man – I’m so blown away by this girl’s talent! She combines her math and art skills so beautifully. I’m extra excited to feature Justina here because she’s a graduate of the University of Waterloo (an institution right here in Waterloo! You know, the one where Chris Hadfield will teach).
Learn more about Justina and Fiber Lab.
Perfect little hostess gift…especially for someone who collects eyeglasses!

Not one, not two, but three animal lamps have found their way to the blog today.
Have you heard about the Waterlogue app? It turns any photograph into a watercolour-like image. I first learned about Waterlogue from one of my mom’s favourite blogs, The Enchanted Home. Before I spent the $2.99 on the app, I sent it to Corie and she downloaded it and tested it out for the both of us. Today she’s sharing some of the photos she took and Waterlogued this past weekend.

Here’s Giselle – the boys put a pink duckie in her crib – they’re so excited to have a baby sister in the house!
And here’s YOUR living room.

Are you sold? I am!
Photos & Waterlogue transformations by Corie.
*Corie stops by the blog every so often in her Pop Up! series. She hasn’t been on the blog for a while, but we forgive her because she’s been busy with her four sweet kids. The littlest arrived this summer! Corie, thanks for testing the Waterlogue app and sending these images my way! I always love seeing photos from NYC!
