Paper Cuckoo Clock

How amazingly random is this cuckoo clock made from paper?  & the best bit?  It really works!  I love the description on the website...'Great as a gift for people who don't take life to seriously!' Ha, I love it!

Have a fabulous weekend y'all!  I shall be cooped up in my office studying but hoping to escape my confines on Sunday to go here!  Eee...fingers crossed!

Penny Floor

Woah!  How impressive is this Penny Floor idea as seen over at Revolver?  More to the point how painstakingly long would it have taken to lay them all?  I'm one of those people who loves counting coins.  My Father-in-law has a HUMONGOUS whiskey bottle that is full of shrapnel and everytime I visit I vow to spend a few hours counting and bagging it all up for him...for a small share obviously :)  Even I though, have to admit that floor would be one challenging task!

Apparently the floor is made up of over 340, 000 coins with the oldest penny dating back to 1908.  All together the pennies weigh approx 2,000 lbs!  IN-SANE, Ha!

For Now...

Joyous Prints for Joyous People

Check out these awesome prints from london design based company Ruka-Ruka!  Either customise your print accordingly or select one of their pre-made designs ready to mail now!  I've just ordered the Circus one for my baby nephew Harry & I simply cannot wait to give him it!  The alphabet would be adorable for a Nursery & I have my eye on the Venn diagram one for an Anniversary gift for Hubby!  Eeee...Lovely stores make my heart happy!

Art-Fest!

So further to my post on completing my visual arts diary this semester I thought I'd share with you what Line Art I've done this week!  For a chick who has a severe liking for all things parallel & more than a few OCD tendencies mixing it up a bit has been a little difficult!  The fact some of my obscure lines were contained within a jigsaw shape eased the blow for me, HaHa!  I blame my linear education on causing me to be the way I am!  Kids should most definitely be taught to colour out the lines on occasions!

This week we're working on Space & Shape...Oh the Joy!

I'm currently in the process of starting my Art portfolio as part of one of my education units.  I find art somewhat challenging and have no idea where I'm going to pluck the time from to dedicate to it!  Our first assignment is 2 line drawings, one using collage!  As a result I've spent some time trawling the internet for inspiration & thought I'd share a few of the ones I loved!  How adorable are those feet?  They make me happy :)  All are super impressive, unlike mine at present...

Wish me Luck!
