These rings make Star Wars wearable

Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:57:17 +0000

It seems like Star Wars is more popular than ever or maybe it has always been like that. Artists are very often using Star Wars characters to create a unique piece of art, and today you can almost get anything that has a Star Wars motive, whether it is clothing, sculptures or furniture. Now you can get Star Wars rings made out of bronze.

They cost around $15 and you can choose between Yoda, Darth Vader and Boba Fett. It will probably soon be on most fashion bloggers’ sites, and maybe you will be lucky to find them on sale in some flea market. Maybe they got a special Star Wars power, and the Force is with you?

One thing is for sure, the Star Wars Bronze Rings are definitely badass and fashionable at the same time. If you are a Star Wars fan, you should definitely take a look at this custom made R2-D2 PC Case Mod or maybe the brilliant Millennium Falcon Bed.

Realistic and Colorful Paper Figures Made by Russian Artist Duo

Sat, 05 Jun 2010 02:30:53 +0000

Alexei Lyapunov and Lena Ehrlich are artistic duo from Russia. They are creating amazing paper sculptures of people’s everyday situations.

Every of their paper-sculpture installations represents an unique story from everyday life of an average human being. The choice to make them colorful is something what I like the most, and this is what makes those figures look more entertaining.

You can also see that they have focused their work to ‘capture’ the perfect movement positions of figures which is the main cause they look so realistic. Their collection of sculptures is called ‘People Too’.

Model of Moscow

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:35:44 +0000

Showcased in one of the Moscow exhibitions, that is being held in the Moscow city town-hall, this mini Moscow or the Model of Moscow depicts the real city layout as if providing someone with an amazing aerial view of the Russian capital.

This mini model was built in 1988 and is specifically used for the city planning and layout purposes. It is a 1540 square feet (i.e. 144 square meters) replica of the city with each separate piece denoting a separate house or a building.

If there is any reconstruction of any house/building or if any new construction takes place in the capital, then that is represented by the same model house (or a separate piece) on this extensive model. The scale of the model is set from 1 to 500, and the classic model surely requires regular cleaning, polishing and maintenance in order to have a good life span for itself.

A Life Sized Stagecoach Made With 1.5 Million Toothpicks

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:17:14 +0000

A toothpick may have been used for many imaginative purposes, yet none matched the innovative creation of Terry Woodling. Terry Woodling, a 72 year old artist from Warsaw in Indiana, dedicated fifteen years of his life towards his vision-’A life sized stagecoach made with toothpicks’. Using his creative eye, skillful hands and patience, he managed to glue together 1.5 million flat toothpicks into a colorful, eye catching and attractive stage coach. This impossible feat attracted attention of people from faraway places. Yet sadly it did not qualify for the Guinness book of world records.

The reason behind the rejection was the use of glue in the process of making the stagecoach. Mr. Terry Woodling, also referred to as Mr. Toothpick, was undaunted by this failure and graciously donated his creation to the local Warsaw museum. Later on it was recognized by the Ripley’s Believe-it-or-not hall of fame. At the first glance, people can hardly guess that this colorful stagecoach is made from mere toothpicks. It is an exquisite piece of handiwork with extreme detailed work. The entire stagecoach and its wheels are designed as per the Victorian era depicting a time before the automobile invasion, when stagecoaches pulled by horses were the only means of transport.

When Farm Kids Get Bored

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:27:56 +0000

No-one likes being bored. It is not necessarily a destructive emotion (although the producers of Fight Club might disagree) but it does compromise your existence, no matter what your age, level of education, skill set, income or company. Of course, when you are on a farm, it is somewhat easy to imagine that one can get bored relatively easily. Stuck on a remote location in an environment where thirsty and repetitive work is the rule of the day, it is all but inevitable that one will eventually turn to unconventional use of common farm products if its means attaining the amusement that they yearn. Indeed, there are pictures on the Internet that show what wonderful works of art certain farm kids have made using haystacks. Get out the paint and start applying facial features to the side of a haystack; or get more adventurous. Some people like to make statues with more than one haystack, but there are also impressive life-size sculptures of a satellite dish, a rocket ship and even a ferris wheel! I’ve also seen a picture of a motorbike on its side with two Wellington boots sticking out of a nearby haystack, as though it were the result of a quite unusual accident!
