Heat Sensitive Wallpaper

Shi Yuan has created a way to turn normally passive things into something with a life of its own. Like this wallpaper that reacts to heat, the painting that react when you touch it, or the daily calendar that fades away during the day. It's made using heat sensitive paint. 

Turn up the heat and your wallpaper starts to blossom.

I know, I know this may be old news to some of you. But I was recently asked to work on some wallpaper design commissions and I've been doing a lot of research for it and this is very inspiring!

Anyway, enjoy!  See the calendar fade?

the latest with my candle obsesh – i now ONLY want a wood wick.

that crackling sound is as close to a fireplace as i'm going to get right now.

it burns so clean. it just feels better than the waxy kind.

Lisa Hoffman keeps it nice and simple with only 2 scents in her collection.

Madagascar Orchid (must try!) and Japanese Agarwood which I sampled. 

scent :: deep, woodsy, soulful, peaceful, calming, warm.

what :: soy wax blend, 50 hour burning time, 9 oz, $46 

status :: DIVINE.

(i put mine in a round glass vase and added sand.  whoop there it is on my messy desk.)
