Homeless Toile de Jouy
Rachael Fry, a senior in Communication Design at Parsons, made this Toile de Jouy wallpaper, lampshade, and dinnerware. From afar, the beautiful patterning catches your eye, but up close it becomes apparent that the tiles patterns are scenes of real homeless people in New York City. She writes:
"Since the 19th century, Toile de Jouy, a French textile pattern, has been used within the context of luxury. This decorative motif [typically] depicts pastoral scenes. By blending real homeless individuals into a contemporary Toile landscape, I hope to offer a personal interpretation of this traditional pattern that will provoke thought on art, design, and poverty."I love how the wealthy might adopt this pattern as a way of humbling themselves, even falsely, especially because if this were manufactured the pieces would probably be very expensive. Rachael also mentioned to me that the strong connection between money and food was a source of inspiration to her. More and full size images on my Flickr - Link.

Funky Robot with Picture Pocket
Patti Schiendelman gives us a quick project tutorial to make this cute photo pocket robot.
Patti writes:
I made this for a friend who collects robots and is into science. I knitted the front and felted it, but you could easily make it out of felted thrift store sweaters. This is a funky robot, so I did some pretty funky stitching when I sewed him together. I used clear plastic for the pocket, from the art supply store, but you could use recycled plastic packaging. Just cut a rectangle about an inch wider and taller than your picture dimension, use a small hole punch to make the holes around 3 sides, and sew it on. I found science pictures on the web, but it would be a cute stuffie photo frame for any kind of picture. You could even sew a pocket on an existing animal.
