Pony Up Design offers these awesome silverware sets for all of us on the go. A set of vintage silverware or sustainable wooden utensils is joined by a napkin (and occasionally chopsticks) to roll up into an easy-to-carry-everywhere, funky little picnic set.

Pony Up writes: If you are like me, you eat on the go a lot. I get really sick of leaving a trail of garbage behind me everywhere I go. [These] set[s] can help you to eat on the go, picnic, camp and hike in a much more sustainable way. [Sets include] a sturdy case made from cotton fabric, a handpicked set of antique silverware and a small bamboo/cotton napkin. You can slide each utensil in it's slot, roll it up and go! This silverware set saves you from using more resources and will last for an incredibly long time.

Seen on Inhabitat: This garden bench by Shinwei Rhoda Yen is a beautiful piece of modern design on the outside, and the perfect habitat to grow mushrooms on the underside.The bark on the bench comes embedded with mushroom spores.

From Inhabitat: Left exposed to the elements, mushrooms will grow and live within the chair for years, feeding off of the nutrients of the wood. As with all things in nature, the mushroom furniture will eventually degrade, giving way to the life of its inhabitants.

I'm sure you've seen her collages already, but they're worth another look: each is carefully crafted from found, recycled, painted and vintage papers, applied to plywood.

OK, I'm sure everyone has already seen this over on design*sponge, but I just had to share it here as well, probably because it combines so many of my favorite things: old wood, old brass, and old type. And, of course, trees.

This magical forest is just one piece in an impressive portfolio by newly graduated artist, Lizzie Thomas.

This stunning necklace by Israeli artist Nurit Spiegel (noraideas) is constructed from ecological tree-free paper made from various natural materials like dried flower petals and orange peel. The paper has been treated to give the jewelry resistance to sweat and body oil, and paired with sterling silver findings, silver particles and Swarovski crystals to create the finished piece of wearable art.
