I really like this ring. It has a an interesting mixture of different shades and tones. The line used here has a fascinating effect. The designer used curvy organic line to create a rather mesmerising effect because your eyes are drawn around the whole ring. The gold "balls" are a nice touch as you would tend  to expect to see a gemstone there because of the amount of gemstones on the ring.





Dislike:
 

I absolutely dislike these earrings. They seem overdone somewhat. The designer used a very warm colour for the metal and the stones are also a very hot color. Its comes across o me as too bright and it ends up looking  rather cheap. Had the designer thrown in a few cold colours...for example green here and there the overall effect of the piece would have been better. I found this image here

This is an experimental rolling house..It shifts to create different spaces(bed,kitchen,seat etc) as you "roll" it. which you do just by walking. I like it..its innovative and out of the box. Who said houses had to be stationary? :) Its is also sort of dual purpose in that you can exercise and move your house at the same time...Nice thought for those of us who hate getting out of the house to go to gym..:) I found this image here



Dislike:

 
Really..? I thought the point of wearing shoes was so that one does not go barefoot...? Whilst I find this shoe creative, I also find it totally impractical..The heel is definitely not made for walking..It looks uncomfortable and way unbalanced..I don't like it. The point at the end of the heel looks like it might cut into skin..The silver horn combined with a black colour also makes it look somewhat sinister to me...I found this image here
