Here's a pencil that you can plant to grow tomatoes, basil and peppers


Sprout is a line of eco-friendly pencils that can be planted after use. When the mixture of graphite and clay runs out or if the pencil becomes too short to write with, just place it in soil (preferably near natural sunlight) and water it regularly. After a few weeks, a dissolvable seed capsule at the end of the pencil will germinate, transforming it into one of twelve herbs and vegetables such as basil, mint, cherry tomatoes, green pepper or sweet pea.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her.  Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
