We have been reading books from our childhood and till now we have collection of them. It's almost of no use for us now but Gardenkultur teaches us a very creative way of utilizing our old books.

The old books can actually be recycled as potted plants. All you need is a hard-cover book or novel and put seeds of your desired plant into scooped-out sections of your old hardback books. This is a really a superb technique of decorating your room with such an exceptional and unique pot. Who could have thought that a plant can be grown in a book? We have only seen the images of plants from small to giant trees in the books but now you can actually grow them in your book.

Get visualized to the grown plants in the book pots in the given pictures. I am sure you would definitely give it a try after watching these pictures.

Oxymora: a font inspired by MC Escher’s work

Even if you might not remember Escher‘s name, you have surely already seen some of his work. His endless stairs are one of the many examples where he tricks your eyes and makes you think that you are looking at impossible things.

Inspired by the Dutch artist’s artworks, Birgit Palma created a twisted, experimental display font that looks impossible. Palma started working on some letters for a client, but she enjoyed it so much that she ended up creating an entire font.

The font name, Oxymora, comes from oxymoron, which is a figure of speech that is made of words that are opposed to each others. It has recently been published by Ultratypes, a type foundry based in Barcelona.
