Embossed plates for perfect food play

]]> Check out this idea from the always enlightening, always offbeat, Jamie Wieck.

There’s another plate as well. Jamie Wieck’s site is one of my most favorite creative sites around. Everything is so unusual, without being obvious. Not everything at the site is available to buy, but there are some shopping options. More this site is like visual fun ey candy.

The Loopita Chair

]]> So, I’m thinking that this would be more a chair for your offbeat lawn, rather than your offbeat living area. I’m not sensing that this will fit in most homes. Still, it is pretty slick; once you figure out how to sit in the darn thing.

This chair is via Geekologie; a site that most of the time has something new to see. They also have two more configurations of this chair. Go see!

Offbeat Weekend Fun with Literal Eye Candy

]]> So, you’ve got your offbeat dream home… Now, what to do about filling your abode with offbeat art. You could go with plain old offbeat art pieces — there’s plenty around. Or you could go extreme and invest in some real eye candy.

Nathan Sawaya is a Lego brick master. However, once in a while he gets tired of his chosen medium and breaks out with some fly Necco art like this amazing Necco heart. He didn’t even miss the tiny veins!

Sawaya also creates fruity Star Bursts.

Don’t forget art for the floor — this rug by artist Ya Ya Chou is a pretty good bet for impressing your offbeat friends. (7″X32″X30″, gummi bears)

And what about lighting? Try Ya Ya Chou’s gummy bear chandelier on for size…

Lastly, for those who like their eye candy with a little more pop and a lot less sticky take a look at Leanne Wildermuth’s snack worthy paintings from her Eye Ate It Series.

I’m not actually a fan of Neccos, fruit candies, and mint; in fact, I much prefer it as art like the above pieces. I’m mainly a chocolate girl. People just don’t make as much chocolate art for the home. I’m betting it has something to do with the melting on your floor issue.

Hope everyone is having an offbeat and sweet weekend. (Maybe with some bad puns thrown in).
