Crossword Puzzle Wrapping Paper Works for Any Occasion

The number one problem with wrapping papers: they are typically suited for only one season, holiday or other highly-particular occasion. Compounding the issue: each sheet and roll remains the same from one year to the next.

A cheat sheet is included for those who wish to find a short-cut for a last-minute gift – options include birthdays, congratulations, miss you, love you, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Easter, and the ever-popular: it is not a tie.

I think this wrapping paper is quite interesting. the fun part is (or could be) filling in those blanks – figuring out where the words you want to select are hidden within the puzzle, highlighting or circling them, and making sure they appear where you want them to on the finish-wrapped present in question. Genius, interactive yet modest.

this is good for people who likes to play crosswords puzzle.

James Jean

James Jean is one of my favorite artists because most of his art works look really interesting to me.

James Jean was born in Taiwan. Jean is an artist based in Los Angeles, California. He was educated at the School of Visual Arts in New York and has lived in Los Angeles since 2003. In a ceaseless torrent of images, his finely wrought and narrative-driven work has captured the attention of a world-wide audience and the admiration of other artists, designers, and filmmakers. Renowned for his draftsmanship, imagination, and ability to span the commercial and fine art worlds, Jean has created a deeply involved body of work that has been widely featured in print, fabric, large-scale installations, and animation.

Virgin. Acrylic & Oil on Canvas, 60 x 52", 2010

James Jean describes virgin as quiet, hidden, loneliness, sadness and mysterious.

this is his art work in 2011, it's called :

Lotus War S/S Color. Digital and Ink on Silk, 36 x 36", Edition of 50, 2011. Produced by OVM

his art work in 2010 looks colorless which is very different from  his art work in 2011.

  

Stackable Patio Furniture Designs

There is something unsightly about most stackable porch and patio furniture designs – cheap plastic that fits functionally, but not aesthetically, together into a single tower. This creative stacked furniture design from Dedon at least creates an object of visual interest, unobtrusive but present, when not used as chairs.

With both larger and smaller versions available, two to four seats along with a coffee table all emerge from a single sphere or obelisk shape. The table alone sets this apart from most transforming/collapsing chair sets, but with the passable style and transforming functional of this set one could also imagine cramped interior spaces benefiting from one of these designs.

Theses designs are very simple and attractive, they are not only work as chairs and table but they can be view as masterpieces too when they are not in used.

suspended staircase

These seemingly imposible modern stairs seem to slice invisibly into the wall – an effect enhanced by the color and reflectivity contrast between the glossy black steps and the matte white wall

This staircase is as much a work of art or sculptural centerpiece as it is an interior design element. Cast against the light wood floors, white walls and ceiling the stairs stand out at all angles – a mass of bending and twisting angular metal unlike any spiral staircases you have ever seen. Designed by Thomas Laurens, these metal stairs are sure to be the talk of any dinner party – especially when someone gets stabbed by them.

Look closely: the single-piece set of stairs and treads twists from bottom to top without ever touching the adjacent walls or the central pole that serves as a handrail, being fully self-supported along the way.

No railings or risers, just sheets of straight modern glass on other side – but strong enough to support floating wood treads and the weight of people walking up and down them. Load-bearing glass is not new, but using them for residential interior spaces is striking.

These staircase are really cool. because they look so simple and don't take so much space.

Blck anf white picture

In her legendary photos Toni Frissell impresses with a strong trend toward surrealismor realism. Images are presented below, albeit in black and white, are both very sharpand clear. To achieve such level of clarity in black and white is very hard.
xtremely hard.

Black and white pictues are really interesting. because we can feel some touch of feeling with the picture. colourful picture considered as a happy mood. Black and white picture shows romantic, depressed, lonliness feelings. if you take a colour photograph and change it to black and white the feeling will slightly change only because you change the colours.

The EGO VS Ferry

The EGO, the world’s first compact semi submarine, itscockpit is located below the floating hull so while cruising about you always have a lovely view of what lies below. The windows of the EGO are made of special acrylic materials, mostly used in aquariums to withstand water pressure and enable light transmission for better visibility. It features a top speed of 4 knots for 4 hours, and it runs for 6-10 hours on a single charge. Other equipment includes a monitoring LCD system, battery monitoring systems, VHF marine two way radio, digital depth gauge, foot pedal, compass and clock

I think this is a fabulous transfortasion because you can see inside the sea and above it. it's really enjoyable.

it's almost the same compared to Ferry, but the good thing about EGO is the size. Eventhough, it can't fit large size of people. EGO more into family transportation. and Ferry more in high class comunity.
