YInMn Blue!

The first new blue pigment to be discovered in the last 114 years!

YInMn Blue (for yttrium, indium, manganese), also known as Oregon Blue, Mas Blue, or Yin Min Blue, is an inorganic blue pigment that was discovered accidentally by Andrew E. Smith under the Ph.D thesis guidance of Professor Mas Subramanian at Oregon State University in 2009.

It is the first inorganic blue pigment discovered in 114 years, since Manganese Blue was invented in 1907 and patented in 1935.

The compound has a unique trigonal bipyramidal structure, and further research has discovered that the compound may be modified to create green, purple, and orange pigments.

Blue pigments, which date back 6,000 years, have been traditionally toxic and prone to fading. That’s no longer the case with YInMn, which reflects heat and absorbs UV radiation, making it cooler and more durable than pigments like cobalt blue.

YinMn Blue is now commercially available.

Are you lounging right now? What makes for a better sofa than loads of plumped up cushions? These cushions right here are actually cushions with a message around preservation of the wild areas in the United Kingdom, so you can ponder this thought whilst relaxing! The artist who designed these prints regularly makes art that sends out soft and subtle reminders that we should be more caring and understanding about the areas we pass through on our daily commutes and the creatures that reside alongside us in theses places. Conservation of these areas is growing ever more important as we hear the Government talking about fracking in places that are too close to our homes and natural areas of beauty for comfort. DM us for more info about these fabrics, which can be made into pretty much anything you like! . . . . . #interiorstyling #interiors #cushioncover #artwithaheart #conservation #britishwildlife #printmaking #natureart #fracking #savetheplanet

What a gorgeous pot. We are always on the look out for unusual vessels and vases, they make us very happy! This one came from the south of France 🇫🇷 . . . . . #vase #interiorstyle #decoration #green #bottlegreen #ceramics #found #plants #shelflife #healingcrystals #driftwood

The story of my desk. This is not the greatest picture but I like it because it holds a lot of memories. All of the items on the desk are second hand, hand me downs or gifted to us. The desk itself was found on the street in Peckham and we lugged it up three flights of stairs, moaning about how heavy it was and how much of a bad move it was to pick it up in the first place, but nine years on, and we still have it! However it’s recently moved with us to the south coast 🌞🌴🐙 where it works perfectly in our new space. So many other things I could say about this pic! I’m going to tag a few people to see if they can recognise their items in the pic. Happy memories! . . . . . #vintagefurniture #handmedowns #familyheirloom #upcycle #interiorstyling #mydesk #creativespace #butterflytaxidermy #modigliani #tomowenartist #reclaimed #wastenoteantnot #collecting #artcollecting (at Southsea)

Here’s another view of our fantastic-found desk. Bare in mind that this room isn’t finished yet and mainly gets used as a space to dump stuff, like our bikes and work bags and god knows what else. We’ve not got around to curtains or lampshades or anything yet and we are actually considering moving our bathroom here (it’s a downstairs bathroom already anyway) so it’s just that bit closer to the bedrooms upstairs. Need some architect advice! Is it worth it? It’s a two up two down Victorian terrace in Southsea! . . . . . . #designadvice #architech #mydesk #myinteriorstyle #interiorstyling #buildingproject #southsea #founditems #reclaimed #vintagefurniture #artcollector #houseproject #workdesk #creativeworkspace

The only brand new item in this picture is the footstool, which we picked up in the sale bit in @ikeauk everything else is 2nd hand or sourced from a market. We got the vintage orange chair in the corner from @sunburyantiques and have layered it up with cushions designed by @jillpoole33 (my mum!) The g-plan table is a hand me down from a family friend, the white chair was left out in the street in London, painted and reupholstered by me! The curtains are 2nd hand from my parents - think they are @johnlewisretail - oh and the creme de la creme, if it’s your cuppa tea is the Victorian waxed fruit and dome! This is a family heirloom 👍🏼 The print on the wall is from my husband’s home town in the south of France, Sanary sur Mer. . . . . . #secondhand #interiorstyling #vintage #antique #victorianproperty #upcycling #upcycledfurniture #gplan #legs #myhome #reclaimed #buynothingnew #familyheirloom #southsea #eclectichome #uniqueinteriors #oldandnew #sanary

Today I went for a snoop around my local reclamation yard and saw this lovely little gem of a cuckoo clock. There was nobody around to ask about it but it’s kind of on my mind now. Maybe I’ll go back tomorrow and see if it’s still there! We have plenty of bare walls having only been here for a short while...I’d just need to choose the best spot! . . . . . #cuckooclock #antiqueclock #reclamation #vintageclock #standout #interiorstyling #creativespaces #southsea #treasure #shopping #collector

This is one of three games of Solitaire that we were gifted from my husband’s parents. This would have been shipped from Madagascar when they relocated to France in the 80’s so to me, this truly is a treasure. Although they take up a lot of room in the house I love them. The wood is beautiful and each marble has its own unique colour and energy. I wonder if each marble is a different kind of crystal or precious stone. Do we ever play on them? Yes, sometimes 🤓 but I never win the game! . . . . . . #vintagegames #oldfashionedfun #marbles #preciouswood #preciousstones #crystals #familyheirloom #curiosity #collectables #game #onyourown #colourful #homedecor #uniquestyle

Not everybody’s cuppa but I spotted this big guy’s head in a shop and pondered if I could really have a dead animal looking over me in my home. Beautiful to look at when they are frolicking around in the wild but when it’s probably the trophy kill of a hunter looking down at me whilst I toast my toes next to the fire...? What are your thoughts on taxidermy? . . . #staghead #taxidermy #collectables #vintage #animalhead
