Sculptures and Jewelry By Jennifer Maestre: It's quite a miss when you talk about pencil sculptures and you don't see artwork created by Jennifer Maestre. To make the pencil sculptures, she takes hundreds of pencils, cuts them into 1-inch sections, drills a hole in each section, sharpens them all and sews them together.

Awesome Russian Imperial Faberge Eggs Art

2009-10-14T12:13:00.000-07:00

Nestled Wonders (with an Easter Egg Surprise)

Peter Carl Faberge and his workshop made incredibly intricate Easter eggs for the Russian Imperial Court between 1885 and 1917.

These rare and unique creations had the cover of enameled gold and gem stones, which would open to reveal hidden wonders - sometimes golden yolk, sometimes a delicately sculpted figure, all nestled in many levels like a traditional Russian matryoshka doll. As only fitting for Easter Eggs, each one contained a surprise! (could it be that software's easter egg surprises have their origin at the Russian court?)
Here is a list of every known Faberge egg in existence (only 61 have survived), each design uniquely different (see some of them also here). The advent of Bolshevik's Revolution has put a stop to the Russian Empire's production of jeweled eggs... among other things.

Some eggs had an exquisite clock built-in, some were accompanied by even more delicate gold & gemstones figures, like royal carriage models or bouquet of jewelled flowers. Most had a mechanism of some kind, so it's even more fascinating to see them in action - a true wonder of miniaturization.

"There were eggs to commemorate the coronation of Czar Nicholas II, the completion of the Trans Siberian Railway, and anniversaries. There were eggs depicting the Imperial yacht-Standart, the Uspensky Cathedral, the Gatchina Palace, and during the time of war, the Red Cross and the military."

To get a feel for the prices commanded by prime Faberge examples, this particular egg is known to have been auctioned at $18 million dollars. It is an unrecorded egg, which makes it even more astonishing. (more info) -

Note the level of miniaturization in this example: Gatchina Palace Egg, 1901:
The Regis Galerie inside the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas boasts a few Faberge Eggs on display:
Also see this fine flickr set for additional egg pictures.
Some jewelry that accompanied the eggs was also worth mentioning:
Even today the style and workmanship of Russian Imperial Court jewelers continue to inspire artists and architects: see for example The Grand Lisboa structure in Macau, China -

Awesome Knits and Yarn Monsters

2009-10-05T06:45:00.000-07:00

When Art and Knitting Needles Collide

Knit your way out of stress and anxiety - into a more ordered universe of sophisticated yarn, crochet and lace patterns. Here are the weirdest knitting projects we could find...

Word of advice: finish your projects! The unfinished knitting projects tend to increase entropy ten-fold and fill all the space allowed for them - these misshapen lumps of yarn can breed in the dark corners voraciously.
Let's start with the Biggest Knitted Sculpture - a pink bunny, big enough to be spotted from the Earth's orbit:
Viennese art group Gelitin knitted this fluffy wonder high on a mountain in Piedmont, Italy; it took them five years to do it. Now, some guys climb its belly to watch the sunset, others prefer to crawl around its knitted guts, spilled to one side... Speaking of unfortunate gutted rabbits, here are a few more, from Patricia Waller:
The unspeakable knitted menace, sneaking by the sink:
Did you know that the way to the "Mountains of Madness" is paved with the fluffy Cthulhu Dolls? Of every variety, it seems:
On the left - just an innocent Cthulhu Penguin. On the right: Psycho Tomato from the Vegetable Liberation Army.
One day the menace of the Cthulhu will awaken and terror will fill the Earth... all will die, except hardy knitters with their offerings and cthulhu idols will be spared. Believe it.
Halloween costume idea: the Gollum Hat, with Andy Serkis posing next to it:
Speaking of hats and balaklavas, these designs named "Crochet Help for Ugly Children" are something else:
Knitted Anatomy

This is not Great Aunt Muriel's mothballed sweater. All things knitted are not cutesy, boring, and itchy... at the very least they can teach anatomy to all who care to wear them:
Baby's First DNA molecule
The Womb...
The Heart... (Pattern found in Knit.1, Winter 2006/7)
Every girl needs to knit her hubby a digestive system, because "the way to a man's heart is through his"... no, wait, not like this...
Knitted vegetables... maybe this propaganda will cause your man to eat his vegetables. Maybe not.

Cool and Geeky Knits
Single-sided Klein Bottle Hats:
You know who this is:
This is Dalek from Dr. Who:
Knit Your Own Aquarium
If you didn't get down to New York to see the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef, you can always populate your own textile aquarium with a great variety of knitted & crocheted animals. Knitters have an interesting affinity with deep-sea, many-tentacled & non-cuddly specimens, such as the nautilus:

Squids are in vogue:
Cuttlefish, Jellyfish, Nudibranch and Deep Sea Anglerfish:

Comfy, Woozy Office Supplies:
(knit yourself a cubicle and defend it against evil bosses with sharp, long needles)
Knit an egg holder, and more (some kind of "Awesome Pentagonalicious Goodness"

We did not cover any lace patterns here... wait, there is this urban piece of design that almost got included into our World's Weirdest Fences article:

Lace Fences!

Dutch design team Demakersvan came up with the idea and yes, these fences recently went into mass production in India:

Beautiful Optical Illusions

2009-09-04T14:15:00.000-07:00

Scintillation Grid:

It comes with different names, but Scintillation Grid is probably the right name. Thanks to Elke Lingelbach of the Institut fur Augenoptik Aalen in Germany, this optical illusion is available to us. Illusion: Just count the number of black points!
The Amazing Dots:

This illusion is designed by Jeremy L. Hinton of Bristol, UK. What is the point? Just concentrate on the mark ‘X’ and you will see start seeing a green dot rotating instead of pink and then these pink dots will disappear and only green rotating dot will remain.

The science behind it is ‘Negative Retinal Afterimage’ or after image effect.

Dragon Illusion:

Getting millions of hits, this is the most wonderful illusion you will come across. Put it on a table and move around it, you see the head of the dragon move across.

Theory is that on viewing a solid object, brain figures out how the object we are looking at will behave. But dragon gives us wrong impression or to our brain. The thing is shape of it, we misinterpret it by assuming that nose is pointed towards us but actually the head of the dragon is concave.
Square:

The letter ‘X’ seems to be made of different shades of colur actually it is not. It is made of single colur and can you guess which colur is that?

Mona Lisa Illusion:

Two most famous paintings in the world placed up side down. Can you tell the difference?

If you spin the image right way up, you find that one of Mona Lisa looks ghastly. The reason is that your mind is not used to looking pitures up side down, thats why it could not diffrentiate between two pictures

ROTATING DISCS

The disks appear to rotate because the concentric gray circles give the impression off spirals.
Simultaneous Contrast

We see shift in identical colors when there is a different background on which they are framed resulting in a phenomena called “simultaneous contrast”. This results in a a variety of affects on how we see objects.

For this illusion, look at the diagrams below. Do you see different colors on each side of the stripe? In each picture, you observe that squares present at the left side of the image are more darker compared to those at the right. To clearly see the simultaneous contrast effect, watch the images from the side of your picture.
Kanizsa Triangle
Let me guess, you perceived a white equilateral triangle in the above picture. But, as a matter of fact none is drawn. This effect is called as illusory contour.

You will also observe that the white triangle is more brighter than the surrounding, but in fact it has same level of brightness as does the background have.
