manmade street geodes in la

i can't tell you how much i love this project from paige smith, an artist and graphic designer living la. she's taken to the streets of the city and installed her handmade geodes that have to be inspiring every person that passes them by.

i am not quite sure what i would do if i saw one of these in chicago. most likely faint or pet it since i'm not accustomed to seeing pretty things in the loop. if you are around the la area and would like to spot a few of these, she's mapped them for you.

below is a photo of paige's process that she shares on her blog as well as a photo of her installing a geode. how adorable is she as well?!
