Move Over Silly Bands, Here's Some Sexy Bands For Grown-Ups.



If you haven't heard of silly bandz, you've either not come in contact with anyone under the age 20 in the past month or you live under a rock.

Human Crayons, Plaster Heads & Lip Jewelry By Designer Heli Hietala




I have already shared with you the fabulous carved crayola crayons by Diem Chau. Now, here's another artist/designer who has crafted human-shaped colored crayons.



COLOURS by designer Heli Kristina Hietala are crayons shaped as the human figure. The intent was to show the results of involvement between characters and how communication can range from soft, stimulating, balancing or dirtying (the designers words), depending upon the character which is chosen.

For the 2005 project, she created about 100 crayons, packed in 10 boxes which contain 10 pieces each.





Heli uses the human form, head and facial characteristics in several of her other unusual works as well. Her 2009 "Spirits of Medicine" consist of 30 plaster cast heads, each placed in medical prescription bottles.




And some of her jewelry designs incorporate castings of full feminine lips like the bracelet and tin rings shown below:

Giant Glossy Lego® Storage Blocks In Nine Fun Colors.





A long time ago I introduced you to Lego-like furniture in the form of Luna Blocks. Now, fun new glossy plastic storage bins, officially licensed by Lego® and made exclusively for STORE, are available in 9 fun colors. Included in the collection is a large LEGO man head (also called a Minifig head).





The sad news is that they're so big, STORE can currently can only ship the LEGO storage boxes to UK, Ireland, BFPO and Benelux countries. They say it's simply too expensive to ship to North America, Australia etc., but have claimed they're working on it!



The large bins have 8 knobs, the small bins have 4. The LEGO MAN (minifig) storage head is available in one size only.
