Ben Venom's Metal T-Shirt Quilts

You wouldn't know it to look at me now, but I used to rock. Hard. I dated a drummer for Christ's sake, if that's not devotion to the metal cause I don't know what is.

American artist Ben Venom makes these metal quilts using genuine metal band t-shirts. They're so cool I'm actually having flashbacks to Reading 2000 when someone crowdsurfed into the back of my head and gave me a concussion.


The music-lover in me needs this quilt so badly I'm almost tempted to start wearing a nose ring again.


Sadly for the quilt-and-metal lovers niche, the quilts cost between $500 and (gulp) $3500 from the Guerrero Gallery in San Francisco. Looking at the pictures is free though. Let's carry on looking at the lovely pictures and maybe turn on Kerrang! TV. Hier kommt die Sonne...

Get your rock-inspired apron on...

I think it’s fair to say I’m a Domestic Slut with rock & roll tendencies, so I was more than a little excited to see the latest über cool textile and upholstery designs from brilliant British company, Bombarock.

Famous for her amazing ‘Skullduggery’ chairs, designer & founder Georgina has now applied her pirate-themed prints to everyday household items, including ironing board covers and oven gloves.

Put the Goth back into your broth-making by donning a skull 'n' roses-print apron like this one and dancing around your very own Hell's Kitchen to a spot of AC/DC.

Perfect for baking rock cakes in, no?
