1. Curiosity
Cabinet
Inspired by the 18th-
century Cabinet of
Natural Curiosities,
Jessica Polka trans-
lates drawings into
worsted-weight yarn,
bringing the same
sense of surprise
that early readers
must have had in
seeing these crea-
tures for the first
time. She captures
the astounding
twists and turns that
nature takes in rich,
saturated colors, and
tags each one like
the curious specimen
it is. jpolka.etsy.com

2. Jewel Thieves This design team uses low-res screen-shots of famous jewels from Google Image Search to create stunning printed and scored leather jewelry. Pieces range from Imelda Marcos’ gorgeous ruby choker to a brooch digitally descended from the enormous Hope Diamond. Pixels have never looked so opulent. mikeandmaaike.com
