Rise and Sigh by Martina Carpelan

08.02.risesigh.jpgTemporary body art from your bed sheets. That's what Rise and Sigh creates when you sleep in these text-embossed sheets designed by Martina Carpelan.

They're emblazoned with words in reverse so that they're printed legibly on your skin. Sure beats crease marks on your forehead!

Appolonia, that thing you mention is what you put in your powder room to torment visiting mothers-in-law.

Another product we really didn't need.

I'm a-thinkin' that with some regular sheets and diligent machine embroidery, one could provide quite the little surprise for sleep-over guests.

Original idea, but the sheets would be more clever if they actually imprinted six-pack-ab lines on one's belly.

And I thought the corduroy pillow joke was funny :)

I wonder what the likelihood is that you'd actually get the full word on yourself, what with sheet crinkles and all. I'd probably end up with an embarrassing shorter version of a hot embroidered phrase.
