Waterpod - Afloat in the New York Harbor

Photograph by Michael Nagle for The New York Times.
For the last two months artists have been floating around New York City on the Waterpod, a 3,000-square-foot experiment in community living and artistry.

Founded by Mary Mattingly, whose medium is mainly photography, it was envisioned as a self-sustaining living space, an eco- and art-friendly sphere that could be recreated in the future, when land resources might be scarce.

SNIPPETS

You already know that here on Easy Bake Coven if I mention crafts, it's going to be alternative crafts I've pulled from my coolasshit folder.

Cut Out & Keep is an online magazine and community where you can make and share step-by-step craft tutorials. You can share your projects or get inspired with other crafty supastars.

But what I like best about this crafty community is SNIPPETS, their online magazine, which is definitely NOT your usual square-john craftiness happening here.

The last issue was dedicated to Day Of The Dead, and an interview with the talented Melora from chamber-rock band Rasputina, interviews with the Crafty Chica, Toni Carr, Baking With Medusa and Adrienne King (from the Friday 13th movies). Also a DIY altar, recycled milk-jug skeleton, house monsters and horro-cupcakes.
