Sometimes all it takes is a peek into the shadows, through the windows, and even in the trash to bring beauty closer.

The holidays may be behind us but this is one ornament that doesn’t need to be boxed til next year. Hang it from the ceiling as a potent reminder that Spring is just around…

Incredible video on This Is Colossal: Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori paints three-dimensional goldfish using a complex process of poured resin. The fish are painted meticulously, layer by layer, the sandwiched slices revealing slightly more about each creature, similar to the function of a 3D printer. Magical.

Give Them Science, Magic, and Alchemy

The space shuttle may have been grounded, but you can gift them the sun, the moon and the stars with these wonderful works of light. Gina Beavers’ hand painted gold prints on black paper are at once regal, deco and geometrically mod. At $100 a pop, they’re some of the strongest original and affordable works of art we’ve seen this season.

Out of the darkroom, Caleb Charland’s Bouncing Penlight Photo is retro cool, and far more affordable than an original Man Ray.

Can’t commit to one static image? Grab your sleeping bag and gaze at the stars without ever leaving home. The DIY Romantic Star Projector will delight big and small kids alike. It’s magically programmable to project the night sky for any day of the year wherever one decides to spend the night.

Black and Gold Print, Vespor, $100

Bouncing Penlight, Eye Buy Art, $25

Young Israeli designer Daniela Bekerman has created shoes called Ze o Ze, which means “This or This” in Hebrew. The wearer can change the design of the shoes through changing the heel, which is a modular piece that connects to the shoe’s sole. Just think of the possibilities! A heel for your departure and a flat for your trek home.

Give the Gift of Light

Bare bulbs are lighting up homes and offices everywhere. We love this twist on the popular industrial chic design trend. Each hand-hammered Filisky Little Pear will cast a soft diffused light across any room. One will certainly hold its own, but a cluster of three would really sparkle. They’d also make a luminous housewarming or holiday gift.

Los Angeles based artist/architect/provocateur Greg Lynn’s new upcycled plastic toy fountains reincarnate toys that generally wind up curbside or passed on through mommy groups. One part Jeff Koons, another Tivoli Fountains, they’re at once classic, nostalgic, and futuristic. I can imagine a huge one smack dab in the middle of Disneyworld piled sky high with Mickeys and Goofies, ears and tails everywhere. Or how about the already snowy Michelin tire guy spouting antifreeze into customers’ reusable antifreeze containers at a Jiffylube station?

Online dating has been around longer than you thought.

My parents had one of their first dates at the 1964 World’s Fair in Corona Park, New York. Now it seems that they might have been at the fair searching for dates instead. Almost 40 years later, it’s hard to say how much digital dating has improved since an early IBM computer spurt out pink and blue cards to help liberal Upper East Siders find love, but it is good to see it less stigmatized.
