ironic.

Made in the Uk by chrisparry. A signet ring with your fingerprint on it. This one made me smirk. Quite the concept of taking sometihng so personal and unique into a piece of jewelry- ergh signet ring. So literal. Yet has some sense to it. What if, instead of signatures we just used our thumbprints? it'd be much harder to reproduce- but everyone would need better eyes. to identify it i guess. kinda like one of the winners of the global ID card competition.

bottle prototyping

Thought I'd share a project I'm working on. Open to any comments and suggestions! Above are a few photos from the process I used to make a bottle.

I'm currently working on a project (theme: capturing and sharing moments) for school and needed to make a rough sketch model. My project is called message in a bottle, thus my design is bottle shaped. I was going to use a lathe and foam to make models but ran into the problem of the school's woodshop being closed due to the holiday on monday. To solve this problem, I used cardboard and laser cut each cross section and glued them together to make the form of the bottle.

Pre-Announcing the annual Threadless Awards!

Starting with 2007, Threadless will begin hosting the annual Threadless Awards! While an official date is TBA (soon though!), the winners of the 2007 Threadless Awards will probably be announced in January or February of 2008.

Each person who wins a Threadless Award will receive a "Bestee", an incredible trophy shaped like Bestee the Elephant giving her STAMP of approval (inspired by this)! There will be 10-20 Bestee categories like "Most Groundbreaking Design" to "Best Gallery Photo" to "Most Dedicated Blogger". Actual categories are still in the works and we'll announce them within the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned!

Oh, we almost forgot the best part...

$100,000 in cash will be
awarded for the 2007 Bestees!
