Embroidery has made a great resurgence in recent years, and there's a growing presence of fiber arts in museums and galleries. Here are today the creations of Laura Baverstock, who mixes traditional stitching techniques with her contemporary design practice to create three-dimensional figures and pay tribute to the environment. Keep an eye on Laura's magnificent 3D stitches at her website and follow the progress on Instagram . [h/t: My Modern Met ]

Okay, lots of people haven't seen The Fox and the Hound , Oliver & Company or One Hundred and One Dalmatians . Maybe they're too young to have seen them and they didn't grow up in Disney-mad households. But surely they've seen Lady and the Tramp . The animated film follows a pampered Cocker spaniel named Lady whose life is forever transformed after her owners welcome a new baby. She meets a stray Schnauzer mix named Tramp who steals her heart, and eventually they fall in love. Today, the official trailer for the live-action remake of the 1955 classic surfaced online and it looks adorable. It seems like Disney won't stop making live-action adaptations until they stop making money. Here's your first look at  Lady and the Tramp , which will air on streaming service Disney+ on November 12.

Designed by Studio Proper , the Pivot is an aluminum stand that looks like the foot of an iMac. It securely holds your iPad in place and allows you to flip your tablet into portrait mode too. With the Pivot, the iPad really looks and feels like an all-in-one desktop computer. "The iPad Pivot Stand is the ideal complement to any desktop environment. Mount your iPad by your side and use it as secondary screen, a media control centre, or a productive sidekick. Standing tall and handsome in the office, and blending in seamlessly at home."

I've been following Shira Barzilay's work for quite some time, and yet for some reason I never posted about her here on Finding Cain . I only realized it last night when I was catching up with her work on Instagram . She's from Israel, and her expressive drawings remind us of the style of Pablo Picasso. They're created using the iPad, and vary from simple lines to sharp and decisive multi-color doodles that give the pieces a cubist look.  I'd easily frame any one of these to hang on my bedroom wall. Enjoy.

OTOTO Design's Summer 2019 Collection will definitely make you smile, and hopefully even make your work in the kitchen easier. What can be cuter than Nessie poking out of your morning cup?

Larry Bird really doesn't like that mural of him which featured the three-time NBA MVP in a blue Indiana State jersey with tattoos all over his body. "The Great White Hope" is now trying to get it altered, and had his reps reach out to graffiti and street artist Jules Muck to do so. As WISH reports , soon after Jules completed the piece, she was contacted by Larry's lawyer asking her to do something about it, "citing unauthorized promotional value to her brand" and to the six trademarks owned by the 62-year-old former Celtics star. Larry's issue with the artwork was the tarnishing of his image and his 'brand' by affixing tats to his face, arms and neck. Jules meanwhile, said she never intended to offend the basketball legend. The image that inspired the mural came from the November 1977 Sports Illustrated cover story in which Larry was referred to as "College Basketball's Secret Weapon."

The Internet has always been a great place to find delightful and amazing pictures of cats. Pros and amateurs alike snap and post gazillion images of these furry creatures. But long before kitties ruled both Facebook and Instagran there was Walter Chandoha. The prolific photographer, who passed away this year at the age of 98, had amassed an archive of about 230,000 photos, his daughter Fernanda estimates, of which 90,000 were of his feline friends. Now these images are gathered together in the new book Cats. Photographs 1942–2018. As the 296-page hardback explains, Walter's career started in 1949 when he noticed a stray kitten in the snow. He took it home and turned his lens on his new pet. He really liked the results, began photographing cats from a local shelter, thereby kickstarting a remarkable career that would span 70 years. The images here are excerpted from Walter's book, now available from Taschen . Thanks to Astrid for the tip.
