Mad Quickies: Porcelain Fractals, Potato-Head Wedding, Bacterial Gloves, Geek Accessories, LEGO 11th Doctor and More!

Just when you least expect it- HEY! Here are some Quickies! Kind of magical, dontcha’ think?

• “mmm … idk … i kind of already have all the cows i need so i don’t really see what i would get out of this …” and other captioned depictions of women rejecting marriage proposals in Western art history. {via Courtney C.}
• Irish artist Nuala O’Donovan sculpts stunning hand-built porcelain forms that look like fractal patterns found in nature.
• It’s quite possible that Norway has the prettiest passports.
• [Keanu Reeves voice:] Woah. Twisted beams of light have been used to send information. {via Brian G.}
• Tumblr find: Artist Merve Özaslan creates collages showing the relation between nature and humanity. Cool work! {via Kim R.}
• Wedding photographer Chris Thornton staged a Potato-Head wedding to explain to his kid what he does for a living.
• These subtle GIFs of animated posters for Disney’s “Into the Woods” are hauntingly compelling. {via Sarah D.}
• Vibrating Watches, Tiny Chargers, Inverted Umbrellas: The Best Personal Accessories Of 2014.
• Merging fashion and science, artist Sonja Bäumel created “Invisible Membrane”, gloves that approximate the bacteria covering our skin.
• Not only fun, but practical. SO many mornings, I could have used one of these in my home. Nine houses with indoor slides.
• Retail find: Great sight-gag bookends from Knob Creek Metal Arts.
• This has been making the rounds on the webz, but in case you haven’t seen this mesmerizing video yet: Hermit Crabs Line Themselves Up From Biggest To Smallest To Swap Shells. I can’t decide if this is democracy or socialsim at its finest but it’s darn cool.
• Bonus: From the Mother Nature Network, truly breathtaking images of nature framed by nature. {ht @LighterFootstep}
