Thanks to Teddy for the heads up on this amazing, rare fabric woven from spider silk.  It was produced in Madagascar with the filaments of one million Golden Orb Spiders.  The golden colour is natural.

I Love Hotdogs

Via Facebook Friend Dennis, we found this great blog that posts well-chosen screen grabs from inspiring movies.  From Blue Lagoon (1980) with Brooke Shields to Godard's Bande à Part (1964), these film-captures serve is great mood board material.  Extra points for capturing the title each time, making I Love Hotdogs a great typography reference, as well.
