Earlier this summer I posted some Honey Badger mugs and confessed my love for this wily creature that just doesn’t care. Well here’s a new treat for all you HB buffs out there: a Honey Badger t-shirt!

Milwaukee-based artist Cassandra Smith’s painted deer antlers have been making their way around the blogosphere lately and I thought it was about time I shared them on CMYBacon. I would absolutely love to hang a pair of these in my living room. Currently, Cassandra only has one antler for sale on her Etsy shop, but she says more are coming soon, so keep your eyes peeled for new, colorful antlers.

How cool is this river rock pillow cover by Miasolé?! One side of it is covered with felt fabric stones that have some extra airbrushed texture to make them appear more realistic. A pile of rocks never looked so inviting…

Available for purchase at Miasolé’s Etsy shop for $50.

These tiered, wrapped thread necklaces by Orange is the Sun are really neat. They’re an interesting blend of both “modern” and “tribal”.

Jon Rossitto’s exquisite wall-mounted wine rack, which is made from the staves of reclaimed wine barrels, is one of the greatest ways of storing wine bottles that I’ve seen in a long time. Besides its utilitarian function, it’s really an expertly-crafted piece of sculpture.

A minimal, modular shelving system by Bashko Trybek called Serpent. Maybe I’m biased because of the CMYK color scheme, but I think this is really great.
