I love this beautiful goldfish plate from gyokusengama.com! The 3D element of the little fish pulling at the edge of the plate with his mouth is adorable.

This Gurglepot koi pitcher is really amazing to me and not only because I love koi. When you pour drinks with this thing it makes a fun gurgling sound!
It also looks pretty interesting when you use it as a vase.

This koi lantern is really beautiful with it's mellow blues and vibrant orange tones. I could definitely see myself decorating a room just to showcase this lantern! At $9.95 it's also quite affordable.

Amazing Dollar Origami

According to the artist, Andrew Hans these incredible origami pieces "all use dollar bills with no cuts, no glue, and no tape."

"Hip" Flasks (har har)

Here are a few of the most interesting flasks I've come across.

















This pirate flask is the perfect thing to keep your grog in. Or orange juice to prevent scurvy (thanks for that insight, Casey).
















The "meh." flask from thinkgeek has to be on this list.
















I love this target flask. Kind of reminds me of Tank Girl.

This is actually the flask that inspired me to make this post. It's beautiful in its simplicity.

You can have your initials engraved on this huge flask in case someone steals it and you need to identify it at your local pawn shop.
It'd take one hell of a pickpocket to steal it in the first place though.

(Via Geekologie)


















This porthole flask is pretty cool and you can see the contents through the front. Almost steampunk? Yeah, it's getting there.























This Don Ed Hardy Koi flask is gorgeous. It's a tattoo design on leather over a chrome flask. I do believe it also comes in light blue and tan as well.

Steampunk Koi

This steampunk koi is about as finished as it's going to get.

Toki Doki Skate Decks

Toki Doki makes these gorgeous skate decks. Maybe I'm just sick and twisted but the one with the bunny skewered on the katana with the ninja star sticking out of its head is my favorite.



















They also make this cute koi t-shirt.
