Design porn is better, sometimes, than the more traditional sorts of porn. For example, on a slow day at work you can unashamedly surf design porn without getting fired for it. Here are some of the things I've been loving on lately, divided into categories for your convenience.

Things I Can Do Myself and Might Just Try (and You Should Try Them Too):
pretty, reusable shopping bags
art on Necco Wafers
calligraphy graffiti
mailable art

Things I Totally Can't Do But Wish I Could:
filigreed tools
nails and toothpicks
driveable chalkboard

Things I Want To Buy:
strokable folders
fish tote

Things I Want To Play With:
a metric ton of super-cute computer games
visible pinball machine

Things That Don't Really Fit into My Other Arbitrary Categories but Which I Adored:
The Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies
a racy ad
other people's refrigerators

I could spend whole days looking at the things other people think to create! I agree about the filigree tools, too -- it's hard to take your eyes from them, isn't it?

That new teal dress you have would show off a lace tattoo on your back nicely, don't you think? :O

I know! It's frustrating, but, you know, just sometimes maybe you say to yourself, Hey, I could do that, and then your whole working area is a mess and you emerge triumphantly with a cake or a drawing or a house plan or earrings or something, and it's wonderful.

*tilts head* Oooh. It SO would. *talks self into it slowly*
