When skating and surfing are combined...Loop-In


According to this designer...if skate boarding and surfing were to have a baby...this is what it will look like. It looks like so much fun and it can be played on any type of surface. You just need to be able to control the wheels and keep our balance within the wheels to have a good time.

I can't even walk in a straight line, I don't know if I can keep myself within those two wheels haha. But you never know until you try...and as I've learned from snowboarding, you need to try a few times too.

For a better explanation, check out this site:

Swarovski - design competition - old school gaming



























Swarovski had a design competition and this is what one team came up with. They brought old school games back to life using Swarovski crystals. So you know what age group they are trying to target with these pieces haha.

We have Pac-Man, Tetris and Space Invader. If these haven't gone into production yet, I would like to request the space invader necklace as a pair of earrings instead ;)

Here is where I got this article:
