Rotterdam Party Bus Stop
Klarien Sonderen, a student at Willem De Kooning Akadamie, created this bus stop intervention. She writes:
"I want to create a different atmosphere, some kind of a present, for people on the move in order to make them happy or surprised."She's in a class called "New Forms of Storytelling," taught by Theo Watson, which addresses narrative in innovative ways, including using the city to tell a story. I'm looking forward to seeing more intriguing work from this group.

Recycled Magazine Coasters
These recycled magazine coasters were spotted on Apartment Therapy SF but they are the perfect small DIY project and you can use the tutorial for the magazine bowl made by Patricia of A Little Hut to make this. Try your hand at making some and you can even use some of your scrap yarn to braid or crochet a more colorful border. Link.
