What i see when i run - plant portraits // another one of those Tumblrs

All beautiful botanical portraits in this post come from Tumblr-page 'What i see when i run' by Singaporian Francis Ooi. 

It's so worth your time to get lost on this beautiful Tumblr and keep scrolling down.

 

Although the name might suggest something different altogether, What i see when i run revolves entirely around botanical portraits. 

(also, photographer Francis Ooi doesn't actually run that often, but rather walks, according to his website)

What started out as a hobby, trying to catch the beauty of Singapore nature, turned into a business, and prints of these amazing photographs can be found on the What i see when i run website (linked to the Tumblr-page).

Post Natural History | Vincent Fournier

These animals don't exist.
They might, someday.
              Or not really...
But imagine they would.
Artist/Photographer Vincent Fournier created an encyclopaedia with imaginary 'Post Natural' engineered (improved) animals.

It could have been a google-search for scrapwood, that made me come across these trash-to-treasure structures by artist Aaron S Moran.

Looking at these makes me want to play and build stuff from trash.
Plenty more to be seen on Aaron S Morans' website.

Biodegradable vases by ett la benn

I really like the look of these biodegradable hand-made 'Kami' vases by German design Studio ett la ben (no capitals, apparently).
They're made from 100% biodegradable cellulose coming from wood pulp and cotton.

Looking at the photographs, the vases and pots appear sturdy and heavy, but being made from cellulose, the products should be pretty light-weight.
I suspect my perception of these designs would shift when seeing (and touching) them for real, but regardless, they got me interested.

Spotted on Yatzer, read the original article for more about the Kami series.

Of course Studio ett la ben has a website, but that's in German and i didn't find a lot about this project (truthfully: nothing, but maybe i got distracted trying to decipher the texts and wasn't looking well enough), what i did find, was a lot of interior design for restaurants that is worth checking out.
