Arrive at the dock, spread out snacks. Open a book and start reading to the toddler. Fight the disappointment you feel when she wriggles away. Let her run; today is a day to explore. Throw rocks, smell flowers, point at reflections in the water. Note the ripples. Again, again, again.
Happy Friday, friends! The best of the web this week: 1. I know I mentioned yesterday that I sort of hate florals, but these paper flowers are stunning! 2. I’d love to retreat to any of these famous writers’ cabins! (via modish) 3. This DIY rope necklace is all sorts of genius! 4. Am now
For Jack’s final crit project, he braided an area of grass. Ah, man. Artists make me weak in the knees.
Max donned a suit made of pieces from his hike, creating a visual map of his whereabouts. Ed Fenwick photographed the series. website: MAX GLEESON blog: MAX GLEESON twitter: MAXGLEESON flickr: MAX GLEESON PHOTOGRAPHY

And yes, I’ll be sharing work from people whose name isn’t Christopher today. Or wait — perhaps I won’t? Time out. Can we talk about how awesome this print is? It’s so awesome that we just might give one away this Friday… ;) Link: LITTLE PAPER PLANES
Paul’s got some new photographs, too. Stop with the productivity, guys! You’re making the rest of us look bad! [No. Don’t stop. Really.] Link: PAUL PHUNG
