Lea Redmond‘s creative, handmade letter service is simply fantastic. “The World’s Smallest Postal Service is a teeny tiny letter transcription service. It sets up shop in cafes and stores, and is now available online. Here’s how it works: You write a letter (up to 6 sentences - see below) and I rewrite it onto tiny stationary (1 x 1.5 inches) with my microscopic ink pen. It then goes into a tiny envelope which gets addressed, stamped, and sealed with a tiny wax seal with your initial on it. The letter then goes into a see-through folded coin case and is packaged up with a magnifying glass in a larger glassine envelope, finished off with a large “World’s Smallest Letter” wax seal. I can send your letter directly to a recipient of your choice, or to you if you would like to distribute it yourself.” Only $8 a letter. [via coolhunting]

Jason Hackenwerth takes balloon art to a new level with his large-scale balloon sculptures and installations. “He blows up hundreds of balloons and strings them together in unusual forms to create artwork that resembles an array of strange animals, insects or aliens… his works are playful and colourful, but like all balloons they slowly deflate over time added another dimension to his work.” [via designboom]
