The ‘Blood Bridge’ by industrial designer Naomi Kizhne is a piece of jewelry with hypodermic needles that are inserted into the veins of your arm, allowing blood flows through it and back into your body. Theoretically, it will create a gold “micro turbine” which generates energy.
Created by American jewelry designer Jennifer Crupi, the pieces have been created to interpret and force various actions and positions of the body. "Part of my interest in body language also stems from the fact that I have always been a very self-conscious person. I seem to constantly be aware of how I look and am perceived by others," explained Jennifer. Believing that jewellery plays a great part in body language and the way people portray themselves to others, Jennifer has created a series called 'Ornamental Hands' which references elegant hand positions often seen in artworks throughout the centuries.

Zhdenek Vacek (Zdeněk Vacek) and Daniel Posta (Daniel Pošta) , also known as the designer duo from the Czech Republic Zorya , recently presented its luxury jewelry collection Virus in Prague. Young people have long studied the chemical and biological processes of development and spread of viruses to be reflected in the original jewelry.

Still: stylized rope of red and gold were “attacked” baroque pearls, raw diamonds, and pyrites, successfully performing the role of viruses.

"In 2004 while driving out of town at 4 am, I saw a football-field length black triangle that slowly moved perpendicular to my car. I seemed to drive under it for an eternity, which is how I judged its size. It was hovering over I-210 with no lights and making absolutely no noise, just a bone-jarring vibration. The only reason I spotted it was because the stars disappeared in a cloudless sky. I don’t do drugs; neither do I drink, so this thing was real," says Ann Shelby. "I’ve been studying the UFO phenomena ever since. And even though I wasn’t “abducted” that morning, the event inspired me to make a series of abduction earrings, including cows, cars and dinosaurs. Maybe it was the aliens who put the idea in my head. And for that, I thank them."

Miley designed all the accessories for the Jeremy Scott show, bringing her colourful junk pieces to the runway via a myriad of brightly-coloured beaded bracelets, crazy head pieces and necklaces that included a ton of random, weird shit like miniature toys and Magic Tree car air fresheners. The collaboration happened because Miley and Jeremy are neighbours in LA and one night he was at her house and she showed him all the weird stuff she was making. Jeremy thought it kind of looked like his collection and asked if she would do the jewellery for his show. She thought he was joking, but he texted her the next day and was like, ‘BTW, I was deadly serious about the jewellery thing,’ and she was like, ‘Oh, amazing.’ Miley actually made everything mostly by herself, although she said the guy who built the big teddy bear for her Bangerz tour helped her with some practical stuff.

Satomi Kawai: I observe every solid surface among materials surrounding me and fundamental physical matters in both macro and micro views. In addition, I view the flow patterns of gas and liquid, including changing the shapes of clouds and flow patterns.

Utilization of enamel on steel pieces allows me to get unique patterns, which reminiscent of patterns I observe. That is how I preserve the moment with life and nature.

p.s. Hey. ** Riya Ahuja, Thank you, I will most certainly take advantage of your generous offer the next time I'm in Delhi, and I'll pass along the link to your bounty-filled site to all my Delhi-bound friends too. ** James, I would certainly think so. ** David S. Estornell, Thank you kindly, Mr, Estornell. ** David Ehrenstein, I most certainly agree, and I treasure my copy of that book as well. ** Tosh Berman, Hi, Tosh. So crazy that the wee-er version of you was in that film. So awesome. I can only think and hope that a ton more of Mead's writings will be issued, and reissued in the case of the o.o.p. stuff. His writing is magical. ** Steevee, Hi. Oh, that was just a marketing technique. There's nothing like that in the film. I could barely make it through that 'response' to Bejar's interview, which I did read, yes. That 'response' just seems like the millionth example of aesthetic conservatism guised-up by a snarky, needling, condescending tone employed as outrage bait in the hopes of creating yet another pointless collective online resolution-less emotional tempest for the sake of ... who knows. It just seemed like the usual practice du jour of someone trolling some artist's thoughtful opinions and misusing some vulnerable fragment as an excuse to toss out argumentative nattering in an attempt to create the usual 15 minute mini-controversy. Bejar doesn't like what Taylor Swift does. That was asked and answered in a context that was about parsing Bejar's work and his thinking about his work. Spinning that into troll-fodder is just pop culture fracking. Gross. ** Thomas Moronic, Thank you. He's something else. Yeah, gosh, that doesn't seem short to me at all. I don't know the word count on my own novels, but I'm pretty sure that, say, 'God Jr.' and 'Period' are within those parameters at least. Yeah, editing, yum. I'm all about editing. I hate writing fiction, but I adore editing. That's where everything happens. ** _Black_Acrylic, Oh, wow, now that article is much juicier, and that horrid event seems even more ... horrid. Time for another rip-off UK children-swallowing-themed post, I think. Thank you a lot, Benster! Also, I barely knew what FIFA was until all of this stuff erupted. Interesting to know. ** Chilly Jay Chill, Thank you very much, Jeff. I too was plenty surprised by the amount of available footage from Mead's work that's out there. So, so nice about the Geiser screening. Right now, re: our film, we're waiting to see if this guy who said he might have time to do the final special effects and color correcting for us is available. We should know by today. If so, he'll do that, which shouldn't take more than three or four days, and then the film will be utterly finished at last. Basically, the Cannes thing was just schmoozing and passing along a link to the near-finished film to interested parties, and then we'll find out over time if anything was scored. We're in the next round of festival submissions at the moment -- burning BluRays, filling out paperwork, and hitting the post office or FedEx. Glad that you have wheels again, and best of luck, as if it's needed, on the novel work. ** Misanthrope, Is that true? It's weird being inside a body and not having any clue about how it's presenting itself. Oh, boy, that's complicated and plot-twisty about the LPS mom situation. So, ... shit, if she didn't file the petition, and if she's vacationing, uh, what happens? Glad your old job center is safe enough for you again. ** Keaton, Hiya, K. This place missed you. I have it on high authority. Everyone sounds really high: that seems like utopia. Well, if it makes buying cigarettes and chewing gum laborious, maybe not. Heart y'all's face too. Ha ha: Blanchot. ** Cal Graves, Hi, Cal. They are. I'm making a gif thing right now. But I'm in the 'tearing my hair out trying to find the right gif to complete a sequence' phase. Which is fun too, of course. Who needs hair. Yeah, editing ... I guess it's about using the clinginess as an attribute within a way of thinking about your work's final state that's more objective. It's a weird thing to suss out. It took me a long time to get the balance right It's very complicated, but then, when you get the right approach, it's like ... sailing? Shit, about the flooding. That sucks, obviously. Be prepared to make a beeline for the roof, okay? Exfoliating-ly, Dennis. ** Okay. I did another one of those posts that I've been into making lately for whatever reason. And this time I chose jewelry as a challenge because I have basically no interest in or knowledge about jewelry. And that, ladies and gentlemen and non-identifiers, is the background story on this post. See you tomorrow.
