Don't Break My Heart!

i wish i had an extra $500-1100 in my back pocket...

"Created by Eva Milinkovic of Tsunami Glassworks this gorgeous piece is a fusion of color and creativity. Inspired by the many emotions of the heart, the Ventricle Vase intertwines passionate purple, loving red, ranges of moody blue, and pure white to create an artistic expression that is as complex and compelling as the human spirit itself. Made of glass – a material that is both delicate and enduring." - found here via svpply

this american infographic

Some magical man made this new year's resolution: "Make an infographic on every This American Life ever made. The idea is to expand and add context to the stories and information contained in the shows. Basically, anything I am curious about while listening to the pieces."

Have I mentioned how much I love "This American Life"? If you also love it, you can donate by texting LIFE to 25383 and then confirming your donation. $5 will be added to your monthly cell phone bill.
