fingerprint.. jewelery

While searching on etsy I found a jewelery designer who can take a fingerprint and create beautiful custom jewelery!

:

They send you an Impression Kit in the mail. Once you receive it, imprint your finger and/or your loved ones finger separately. Then you mail it back to them and they make a wax form from the impression material. HOW COOL!

If only I would have seen these before we got married... love the fingerprint inside the ring! Such a fun and unique idea!

fabric

How cool would it be to design your own fabric and have it printed?! While researching I came across this website!

http://www.spoonflower.com/

With spoonflower you can upload a digital photograph, scan some art work, or upload a design you have created in photoshop or illustrator! There are some really neat, weird, and very creative prints. Here's some I thought were fun!

Yards vary from $18 to $38, but with your own design on fabric in your home... whats more cool?

art gallery adventure

Every last Thursday of the month from 6-9pm AGA (Art gallery of Alberta) opens its doors for free! Since we are back in the city I dragged the hubby for a look!

One of the exhibits we liked the best was Brian Jungen. Jungen is best known for his transformative re-workings of everyday manufactured goods into compelling art displays

The exhibit we saw by him was created by white plastic lawn chairs that were cut, deconstructed and re-assembled. Take a look!

Sooooooooo so cool!

flights

So we have a $400 delta flight credit to use by march 1, 2011. Yep, that's in 5 days. We have no idea how to find flights for cheap other than google and crappy sites we've come across. If you have any secrets please share. We will go ANYWHERE the $400 will take us... or one of us :)

Some day.... some day me and mr kipp will travel across this world...

BHLDN weddings

O how I love weddings! Every single thing about them. If I could plan my wedding 100 more times I swear I would.

BHLDN is anthropologie`s wedding line! This line is for the creative, adventurous, flirty and the one of a kind design girl! It is absolutely beautiful! They carry everything from dresses,shoes,jewelry and hair pieces!Let me just say there are some lucky future brides out there!

Heres my dress :) It was a nightmare getting it made, but turned out! My favorite part is my sash!

BHLDN`s site is worth checking out http://www.bhldn.com/

oktomat!

This little camera you see down here is an oktomat! I have one of these little guys and let me tell you... they are so fun! They take 8 pictures right after each other, in 2.5 seconds! With no flash and a pop up view finder, it definitely takes the right lighting and a little time to know what your actually shooting! The best part is taking the film in and getting it back to see what you actually captured!

Here's some photos we took..

Here's some photos from online

Looks like we have some work to do shooting with this camera... :)
