happy 30th birthday this year to that puzzling + brilliantly-hued superstar, the rubik's cube!
as child of the 80's, it's a nostalgic throw back to think of the many roadtrips, evenings around the living room, + saturday mornings after breakfast spent trying to solve, trying to trick another, trying to best the fastest times around the house and out-wit that magical cube-y puzzle.
{i know.... i'm happily a GEEK!}
so homage paid today to that icon-o-colour, and the cube, itself: one of my fave design elements.
great to see the cube everywhere this season in the geometric fashion frenzy- woohoo!
ever peel off the rubik's cube stickers
just to try and beat it?
c'mon. confess.

Oh yes - I have peeled off the stickers! And took the cube apart, square by square.
ReplyDeleteI once completed three sides. Three sides complete, all at the same time. I was anxious to show it our company coming over that night.
Unfortunately, my older sister got to it first, and I no longer had 3 sides :(
I keep a cube beside the couch in the basement. I periodically pick it up, striving for at least two sides...
ooh - you're good - and still at it, emms? impressive!
ReplyDeleteI love the Rubick's Cube! Thanks for the memories.
