I sent Q-tip’s fur a few months ago to the fine folks at VIPfibers.com and they are now spinning her fabulous fur into yarn for crafting. Cat’s cradles, dreamcatchers, and god’s eye, anyone?!

The 72-Room Bohemian Dream House

The building at 190 Bowery is a mystery: a graffiti-covered Gilded Age relic, with a beat-up wooden door that looks like it hasn’t been opened since La Guardia was mayor. A few years ago, that described a lot of the neighborhood, but with the Bowery Hotel and the New Museum, the Rogan and John Varvatos boutiques, 190 is now an anomaly, not the norm. Why isn’t some developer turning it into luxury condos?
Because Jay Maisel, the photographer who bought it 42 years ago for $102,000, still lives there, with his wife, Linda Adam Maisel, and daughter, Amanda. It isn’t a decrepit ruin; 190 Bowery is a six-story, 72-room, 35,000-square-foot (depending on how you measure) single-family home.

Loaded: Heavyweight Craft Exhibit Explores the Potential of Sugar and Iron
via INHABITAT by Frida Jeppsson on 4/19/11
One of our favorite exhibits at this year’s Milan Furniture Fair was Loaded, which brought together 15 students and emerging designers from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) to explore the history, physicality, and currency of two catalytic materials: iron and sugar. Designer Brian Anderson explains: “Sugar and iron are two materials that represent the American history quite well, with references to the times of slavery as well as the glorious industrial days.” Read on for a look at the innovative designs on display — from lighting to tableware and jewelry.
