eco-friendly art

Want to buy some original art while doing something good for the planet? Check out the incredible project the artist Sighn has taken on over at Multi Polar Projects. The woodworking artist decided to cut out the words “it’s ok” one million times using the scrap wood leftover from larger projects. Each piece is hand cut and numbered by the artist himself. Sighn is selling the wood cuts in batches as he makes them, and 1 tree will be planted for each one sold. There is a great video detailing his process that you can check out here. Then hop on over here and purchase your very own wood cut for just $20. I purchased mine several months ago (it’s # 2,044) and set it atop my bedroom mirror. Here it catches just enough light to cast shadows of affirmation each morning and night. — Erica P.

Love your placement.
Just bought mine. Can’t decide if it will be better at home or the office.
Combined with the ‘ol “keep calm” and “somebody save me” at work, I wonder if people will think i’m stressed or simply have needy taste in art.

A nice touch for most spaces and earth-friendly is always good. Great post!
