Crayon Rings

What better way to teach your tots fashion sense and art at the same time than with these beauts? Behold the Crayon Rings, made by Timothy Liles out of washable (a must!) crayons.

It’s available at The Future Perfect, though at $50 a set, it’s more of object d’art rather than real toys for kids. Link – via Inhabitots and Yokiddo

Growing Jewelry

Posted by Queuebot in Fashion on January 26, 2009 at 8:22 pm

Last I checked basic jewelry offers a vast multitude of stylish, and
some not-so-stylish, rings for consumers to choose from. We have
promise rings, mood rings, earrings, engagement rings, wedding rings,
class rings, Lord of the Rings (yes, Gollum’s “precious” is
available to purchase). But now, thanks to Icelandic designer Hafsteinn
Juliusson (try to say that five times fast), we now have … moss rings.

“Growing Jewelry is a redefinition of modern values. It is a clash of jewelry and gardening; couture and organism. The collection of this hand jewelry is designed for people in metropolitan cities and is an experiment in drawing nature toward man, as nature being the presupposition of life.”

Inner Message Ring by Jungyun Yoon

Korean artist Jungyun Yoon created this Inner Message Ring, a metal band with raised text on the inside surface. After a while, the message ("Marry Me" and "Always") will imprint itself on the wearer’s finger!

Woman Does Hoops While Swinging on Rings

Here’s a short and sweet YouTube clip of a woman who can  hoop a hula (hula hoops? Who knows!) while swinging on rings.

It’s pretty amazing, actually – I can’t even use a hula hoop while  standing on solid ground.
