Sixty Minutes

This amazing hourglass is so much more than it appears. Beyond the visually fantastic organic design by Mark Newson for Ikepod is the fact that the sand contained within is actually low carbon nickel plated nanoballs.

I've been trying a few dyeing experiments to satisfy a creative urge that has been growing. Here is one of my latest creations which I really like. Though the light quality of the photo is not great, you can see the subtle uncontrolled nature along with the deliberate shaping of the color field.

"After several months of working with Los Angeles based jeweler Shayan Afshar on what began as a personal project of dedication, Levi Maestro developed something that he felt was undeniable. This design was created with the designers intention to communicate that when he gives his heart and word to something, then his energy, love, mind, and of course time become infinitely dedicated. Juxtaposing the materials of a translucent plastic band and a casing with a custom made 18k gold bezel completely emerged in gold resulted with very original & classic qualities."

"While most of the interiors-obsessed turn to The Selby these days to sneak glimpses of the intriguing abodes of creative types, Assouline's new book 'American Fashion Designers at Home' proves that nothing quite beats the appeal of thumbing through pages of full-bleed photos to see their sources of inspiration and an unbuttoned look at how they live. Presenting the residences of over 100 of the most revered fashion designers (all members of the book's collaborator Council of Fashion Designers), it includes Ralph Lauren's Colorado ranch, Betsy Johnson's NYC apartment, Oscar de la Renta's Connecticut estate and more."
