by placing colored felt-tip pens in the pockets of the dress its appearance changes over time. within an hour - to one and a half hours the colored ink bleeds into the fabric and creates a one-off design for each occasion. the owner can then clean the dress and color it in a different way for each time they wear it."

one word. so little time.

It is Not Enough

It is not enough to know.
It is not enough to follow
the inward road conversing in secret.

It is not enough to see straight ahead,
to gaze at the unborn
thinking the silence belongs to you.

It is not enough to hear
even the tiniest edge of rain.

You must go to the place
where everything waits,
there, when you finally rest,
even one word will do,
one word or the palm of your hand
turning outward
in the gesture of gift.

And now we are truly afraid
to find the great silence
asking so little.

One word, one word only.

-David Whyte

The thing we long for, that we are for one transcendant moment.

Title Quote: Lowell

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

The COLOURS are crayons which can be used for drawing and characters shaped as small human beings which can be used as tools for communication. It intends to show the results of involvement between characters. The results of the communication can be softening, stimulating, balancing or dirtying. It all depents of the character which is chosen. The interaction can become visible or invisible. The user makes the choice of characters and tests which way they react to each other. And what is left of the one which is used as a disposable product?

There are about 100 crayons and they are packed in 10 boxes in 10pcs each.

Title Quote: Albert Schweitzer

Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.

The beautiful box helps us to retain moments, chronicle memories, collect wishes and hold on to souvenirs. All the things that we need for this purpose are there in the box, waiting for use: envelopes, paper clips, pad... The last holiday, the first love, a wedding, a birth, or – for no other reason than the sheer pleasure of collecting and wallowing in memories. Box (26 x 13 x 8 cm) with a embossed lid.

"TagCrowd is a web application for visualizing word frequencies in any user-supplied text by creating what is popularly known as a tag cloud or text cloud.

It was created by Daniel Steinbock, a doctoral student in Design and Education at Stanford University...

When we look at a tag cloud, we see not only a richly informative, beautiful image that communicates much in a single glance. We see a whole new approach to text.

TagCrowd is being used far beyond the online realm:

    * as topic summaries for speeches and written works
    * as visual summaries for survey data mining
    * as name tags for conferences, cocktail parties or wherever new collaborations start
    * as resumes in a single glance
    * as visual poetry

The list goes on and continues to grow...

Our mission is to push the innovation envelope for tagging into online and face-to-face communities of all stripes."

these are handprinted with rough edges
with a blank spot for you to fill in,
to be sewn anywhere you deem appropriate."

I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind. -emily bronte
