This week’s Field Guide is all about cork.Cork has a great texture, is versatile, and is unexpected. To top it off, if you harvest it correctly you don’t harm the tree itself, making it sustainable. Here are a few ways to incorporate cork into your home. I’m especially loving the cork wall in Matt and Kathy’s home.

Sorry for the lack of posts on Wednesday and Thursday. I had planned on posting, but I was exhausted from studying so much. It was well worth it though. I passed my board exam! I’m looking forward to a weekend of nothing, and then a good friend of ours is coming up next week! Anything in Boston you recommend us taking him to see? I hope you all have a lovely weekend! Here are some links for your Friday:
Stop Vertical Video Syndrome!

This week’s Field Guide is about Paper.Paper is a great medium for sculptural art. You can do almost anything with it, and there are endless varieties. Generally, it is pretty cheap so you can do something large scale without spending too much. Here is some inspiration. Moth Origami Lamp Shade by Studio Snowpuppe

This week’s Field Guide is all about felt.
Felt has a tendency to be a little crafty which makes it an ideal material for, well, children’s crafts. It doesn’t have to be just for kids, though some of the objects I picked (like the cute sheep garland) would be great in a nursery. Felt can be pliable or rigid which lends itself to many unusual uses like litter boxes, vases, and lampshades. If you do it right, it has the potential to be really modern. Here are just a few ways it could work in your home. DIY Modular Felt Trivet by How About Orange
