NATURES INSPIRATION – STAMENS & STICKS

I have no idea if this artist got their inspiration from Australian Native gumnuts but that is the first thing I thought of when I saw this street sculpture in Melbourne. I wish I could ask him/her but there was no plaque to say who the artist was – if anyone knows who it is please post details.
You cant tell in this pic but the sticks have a beautiful movement to them them the wind blows, adding to its organic inspiration.

Tulle Defying Gravity

Art for interiors and fashion are all about pushing the envelope and pushing the boundaries of what you can get your materials to do.  This fashion shoot by Josh Olins of for Dazed & Confused’s February 2010 edition shows that these dresses aren’t created for their practical use but to stimulate excitement and buzz.  Which it certainly does!

SHARPENER ANYONE?

First impressions count when getting your house ready for sale and this definately does! The kids would love it but you hope some one doesn’t walk by with an itch to doodle. Then there are pencils in front of this building development in Bayswater Road, England – it looks like we all have fond memories of days gone by when colouring in the lines was all we had to stress about

TRY KICKING THIS SANCASTLE OVER


I first discovered the sheer brilliance of Sand Sculpture on a holiday in Byron Bay. It was like busking on sand, you put a coin in if you liked their work. Now it is held all over the world in organised events with entry fees and competitions. I’m fascinatied at their skill, patience and gypsy lifestyle as most artist travel the world living by the sand and sea culture for their art. Pretty nice lifestyle.
