HUGGABLE AND TUGGABLE
Delightful leather and jute toys designed by Renate Müller in the tradition of German toy makers since the 1800s. Developed for therapeutic use, this menagerie of animals was used for balance training and orthopedic exercises by mentally and physically handicapped children. The toys debuted at the Leipzip Trade Fair in 1967 and continued annually. Each year Müller added new personalities to the collection. In 1990, Müller took over the rights to her designs and continues to produce limited quantities of old and new designs. (via handmade charlotte)

ONull
Check out this phenomenal tool, ONull. It’s a standalone application that’s written in Java and runs on the Processing graphic engine. You import and image that gets rasterized with vector pixels. Basically you can make a photograph composed of squares or circles or you can even upload your own vector that the program will use. Great tool and fun to play around with!
