Santa Monica Museum of Art
Sharon Levy has created the largest faux wood cross-section you will ever see. You can find "Cookie" up at the Santa Monica Museum of Art where you will also find the Tree Stump shirt by Brett Westfall. Weather has been gorgeous here in L.A., so we plan to spend the day in S.M. and check this out for ourselves this weekend! Thanks Amy!

Chilewich
Ahh, more gorgeous woodgrain, this time from Chilewich. Jon first reported on them when they were introduced during the last ICFF show. It's so great to see them now available to the public! The rug is amazing and the bag, fun and original! (Thanks Julia M.!)
**Also, read this great interview of Sandy Chilewich, as she explains more about why they went with woodgrain for this line (via DWR's design notes blog)

woodgrain fabric
For all those woodgrain fabric lovers, myself included, check out these gorgeous woodgrain fabric options from Japan. They will soon be available at Tortoise in Venice, CA. They're a little pricey, but worth it if you ever wanted to make a woodgrain purse!

Jaime Zollars
Jaime Zollars is an amazing children's book illustrator. She has a great sense of narrative and inspires imagination! Her prints would make a great gift for a friend and even better gift of art to a child. I love the owl print called "Homeless" and her other woodsy print called "Homecoming."

its Knotwud!
Fellow woodnut Amy sent us this link to these fun building blocks for kids- Love the name- Jakks "Knotwud" Construction blocks- hehe, they're actually made of foam and have a woodgrain pattern screened to them. I could see using some of just one color, maybe for a fun display for your bookcase or something- I wonder if you couldn't utilize them somehow for somethign else too... hm... anyways- $14.99 for the set- (thanks for the tip Amy!!)

Woodworker Lamp
We've been so busy and there is sooo much (faux) wood-nutty-ness to catch up on. We wanted to thank everyone for all their faux bois tips and please keep sending them to us! In the meantime, we love this Woodworker lamp over at Anthropologie- It's so unexpected to see woodgrain in glass...
