Liquid Treat

We've always thought it counter-intuitive to spend a lot of money on something to hold money, so we carry our cash in a Mighty Wallet. Designed by Terrence Kelleman of Brooklyn-based Dynomighty Design, the $15 billfolds are made entirely of tear-resistant, water-resistant, expandable, and recyclable Tyvek. Mighty Wallets are currently available in 28 designs, which include trompe l'oeil looseleaf paper, comics, maps, circuit boards, and weathered leather as well as photoprints of confetti, beach scenes, and the lunar surface. Designers will particularly appreciate the bold "color bar" version, allowing you to flash a little CMYK whenever making a purchase. Ultra thrifty? Grab a FedEx envelope, head to YouTube, and search "tyvek wallet how to" for Dynomighty's DIY demo.

Break out the crayons and sharpen up the pristine Prismacolors you've been hoarding, because RxArt has published the second volume of Between the Lines, its wildly popular contemporary art coloring book. The nonprofit organization, which places original fine art in hospital rooms and healthcare facilities, has collected 51 original line drawings from contemporary artists -- including Takashi Murakami, Ed Ruscha, Karen Kilimnik, and Andrew Kuo -- for your coloring pleasure. Despite the book's title, personal touches and coloring outside the lines are encouraged. Go for a mixed media approach with the vibrant stickers included with each book and designed by artists Nate Lowman and Mickalene Thomas.

"If we can imagine it, we can make it. If we can make it, we will." That's the motto of Rado, the Swiss watchmaker that prides itself on testing the bounds of technology. Three individuals that exemplify the same visionary spirit will be honored in September with the Rado Unlimited Spirit Award, and the company is crowdsourcing the award statuette with a design contest. Entries "should be innovative in terms of material, aesthetic and visionary in terms of shape" but not unwieldy: think smallish, easily toted sculpture made of metal, wood, rubber, or glass. You've got until July 11 to submit your sketch, rendering, technical drawing, and a brief description of your spirited design. The clock is ticking.

Have you caught World Cup fever? When there's no time to take in an entire, maddeningly low-scoring match, savor the highlights... in Legos! Since 2007, self-described crazy soccer fan Fabian Moritz has spent thousands of hours meticulously recreating major soccer matches in stop-motion animation with squads of smiley-faced Lego players. The resulting videos are collected on his website, Lego Fussball. Now the Hannover, Germany-based animator is working 'round the clock on World Cup matches. Among the most popular so far: Team USA's opener against England, which featured an astounding fumble by Brit goalie Robert Green. "In general, unusual scenes are a lot of fun, because I get to be very creative," said Moritz recently. "I have never recreated a goalkeeping error before, so I really enjoyed it."
