Dressing Room for a Garden with a Pond by Clara Nubiola | via
From the architect: This project started some time ago. Some close relatives proposed the idea of building a bathroom-dressing room in the garden, so that it wouldn’t force them to go from the pond that works as a pool to the house to change into a swimsuit. And that it also served to wash your hands after “calçotades” that are already a winter tradition. We started the project specifying a location.
Between the house and the pond there is a shed for storage and almonds and hazelnuts pantry. It is made of old brick and has boarded windows, and one big metal sliding door, painted ultramarine blue.
The dressing room would be located inside. There was room and we avoided creating a new space in the garden. Regarding how, there were three clear ideas:
· To observe the nearby landscapes.
· To take advantage of what we already had and what the surroundings gave us.
· To recover walls and saved objects.
The surrounding landscapes which are chicken farms, stone walls, and hazelnuts. Brick farms, improvised fences, water ponds, orange trees, and self-built houses.

f,l,o,w,e,r,s Acrylic Ruler (2007) by Norihiko Terayama of Studio Note
“If the flowers in the paddy were spaced in equal intervals I could lie down in them and measure my height.” That was the simple, idyllic thought that led designer Norihiko Terayama to create what could very possibly be the single most stunning piece of stationary we have ever come across.
f,l,o,w,e,r,s is an acrylic ruler embedded with real flowers that were hand-picked and then dried by the designer himself. Using a pair of tweezers he then meticulously spaced them so that they are “blossoming” at exactly 1cm intervals.

I’ve grown up since we used to play.
No one before Bernini had managed to make marble so carnal. In his nimble hands it would flatter and stream, quiver and sweat. His figures weep and shout, their torses twist and run, and arch themselves in spasms of intense sensation. He could, like an alchemist, change one material into another - marble into trees, leaves, hair, and, of course, flesh.

Oh god guys. JK Rowling is a genius, and so is this person.
the thing I love about this fandom is that there are 7 books and 8 movies to observe. so every once in a while some blessed soul finds a piece of information that makes all the magic resurface again
Mind. Blown.
Oh Lord…it’s a metaphor too. It’s symbolic of Neville holding on to his past, the horrors of what happened to his parents, of being a passive vessel for that atrocity. As if the terrible thing kept happening and would never stop happening.
When he moves forward and becomes part of his own story instead of the story of his past, his strength surges.
Oh.My.God ::cries::
goddamn i love this fandom
I’ve been spamming twitter with my silly Disney/Pixar genderbending sketches so I thought I’d clean some up and put them here as well~ (I also did some Frozen genderbends) This was fun!
I love them all
