Edda Lilja and her 52 hat project is now up to week 37 and the hats are fantastic – a little quirky and quite original. Here is her website where you can see all the hat – just a few of my faves are pictured below.

The pattern for that cute elf/fairy hat is available here for a small fee

escape capsule

Adam Norton, Australian artist, demonstrates various ways to ‘avoid’ – this work is called countermeasures and also includes fun things like reverse shoes (the footprint goes backward). This escape capsule includes everything you need to live – a long term hide away from the world. (the toileting facilities are not so hot) but its a neat idea.
