Designist Dream

I interrupt my regular posts about other people’s stuff to share with you one of my own! And Im really excited about it. You see, I read a ton of blogs each day – from home to design to craft and everything in between (fashion and art included). I have a growing mound of files, [...]

Well, who knew the Israeli Community of Designers and the Design Museum in Holon actually had the Israeli Design festivities detailed in English too!? I for one did not. Probably because it’s neither featured on the ICD website, even though they have an English option (which only shows their board and member lists), nor highlighted [...]

Hooray for the Israeli Community of Designers for launching a week-long (alright, ten day long but who’s counting) parade of workshops, exhibitions and special events for and by Israeli designers! Initiative applauded and just in time for Yom Haatzmaot this week too! Not so hooray for their ability to feature this information in Hebrew only [...]

{by Karen Chernick for Green Prophet} Sustainable design is popping up all over Israel, and we’ve tried to cover as many of these designers as possible. Our survey of ten sustainable Israeli designers who reduce, reuse, and recycle covers tons of green, innovative, and aesthetic projects ranging from rubber tire handbags (that are surprisingly chic) [...]

Photos of Steven Wiltshire’s finished drawing of Jerusalem – including a few words from the artist himself on the experience – have been posted, by yours truly, over at Jerusalemite – The Jerusalem Culture Guide. I’ll be posting at Jerusalemite on art and culture in the Holy City but, don’t worry, dear readers, you’re still [...]

It’s not hard to celebrate 60 years of awe-inspiring accomplishments in the fields of art, architecture, fashion and design.

“The Human Camera” has landed in Jerusalem. Or at least, he has circled above it and surveyed our holy streets. Sounds like something straight out of Marvel comics, but this is real life. A real man. An accomplished artist. And an extraordinary talent – or, dare I say, power. Internationally renown British cityscape illustrator Stephen [...]

From the biblical to the technological – and a lot in between – it’s been a big 60 years. Happy birthday, Israel… and many more. Look for my post on 60bloggers.com honoring Israel’s achievements over the past 6 decades in the fields of art, fashion, culture and design towards the end of the month.

Check out these great pics by Harry over at Jerusalemite, The Jerusalem Culture Guide, of internationally-acclaimed architect Santiago Calatrava’s Bridge of Strings. The photographic angle really shows the intricate steel cables of the bridge which both support the overpass for Israel’s light rail and soar above the city’s skyline weightlessly. Personally, I love this bridge. [...]

Well, I did and I’m sorry I didn’t get to share info about this event during Passover break or before it closed last Saturday. But I didn’t expect my Passover holiday to be so much fun that I would be too pooped out at the end of the day – mentally and physically, man those [...]
