Fall's Patterns and Prints: Pretty, Provocative, and Perfect
Fall's Patterns and Prints: Pretty, Provocative, and Perfect | Fashion Pulse Daily:


"2. Polka Dot – A “spot-on” trend right now, polka dots are DEFINITELY making a fashion-forward statement. Marc Jacobs set the tone with his head to toe dotted looks, however for a more realistic approach try micro dot polka dot tights, a sheer polka dot blouse, or even a blazer. This retro-inspired look has proven to be modern one whether done in bright colors or more neutral tones"

Beautiful Halftone Photos Drilled in Plywood
Pixel-Perfect Plywood Portraits | Gadget Lab | Wired.com:

A 21-year-old Finish modder, who goes by the name Metalfusion, has developed an ingenious method of creating CNC routed halftone images on pieces of plywood.

Similar to printing newspaper images using dots of ink, the process thought up by Metalfusion consists of using a v-bit router bit to drill different size holes by plunging it at different depths. He has also created a special software that allows him to convert normal images into files that are ready to be cut on a CNC machine. Although the end result id definitely impressive, the drilling process takes over an hour, since each image requires thousands of individual dots.

Local nail artist’s winning design + More professional polka dot fingernails
Local nail artist’s winning design featured in April trade magazine:
Image via Wikipedia
"...three designers to win national recognition in NailPro magazine this month.
Ngo worked her polka-dot pattern into her design — or rather, designs. She said couldn’t decide which nail tip she liked the best, so she sent in a complete set of 10 nail tips, each with slightly different design, and asked the judges to select which one to enter into the contest."
