Resin Casting Results
Check out the results of the resin casting workshop, a few of the cast toys are on display in the cabinet between third and fourth year studio.

Charity politics completely aside, this is kind of interesting. I like the idea of relating colours to experiences, to me, it feels more meaningful than relationships between scents and memories, which are more physiologically integrated.

Blog Roll
I'm sure all of you already have a TON of blogs that you follow, or maybe you don't but are looking for a push to start..... I thought I'd share a few I like :) Chances are some of you have seen these, so bare with me or skip to the next post!
Trendland - Love love love this one! Super artsy. A great mixture of culture, art, design, fashion, music, and photography. It's really inspirational, they do not skimp on images
Fast Company's Co.Design - Self-described as trying to bridge the fuzzy border between design and business. Not to fear, it's definitely not just a bunch of boring business articles. I feel surprised and interested every time I visit.
Amateur Couture - Really great pairings of art and fashion. Just something nice to look at <3

Brick by Brick
German artist, Jan Vormann, reminds us why LEGO really is the world's greatest toy. He travels the world "repairing" decaying buildings brick by brick. If you know a crack, missing tile, or building that could use some colour, how about try this method out (there's already been a fix-up job in Toronto, how about bring one to Ottawa). Check out Dispatchwork for lots more pictures from around the world.

Timmies run
GUESS WHAT. The medium sized coffee is the new small.
Apparently, according to CBC, Tim Hortons is phasing out the small sized cup size in the test markets. They'll be calling the medium cup "small" from now on, and all the size names are moving up a notch. So this means that their XL size is even more. Actually, it's more than a venti at starbucks. So here's to your caffine fix. Cheers!

Ottawa Love: Raised By Wolves x Sam Bat Capsule Collection
Some shots from (Ottawa's own!) Raised By Wolves' latest lookbook.
The collection is a collaboration with Sam Bat, a local baseball bat manufacturer. Probably a neat place to go for your mass pro assignments...
