2,000 suspended tennis balls appear to bounce through Mustang Art Gallery

I find this website a headache to navigate, but it is well worth your time. I would love to see this place in real life. Art created using ordinary objects makes my world go 'round. Super cool!!

I'll bet you didn't know most of these

Gah, I love stuff like this. So many useful little tips to help us get through our days...

The one that absolutely blows my mind is the fact that the plastic tabs on bread loaves are color-coded by date. I mean, it totally makes sense, but how many of us even stop to notice that every day the tabs are different colors? Crazy stuff, man.

This one's for the art-lovers

Ever wanted to see van Gogh's painting "Starry Night" is ultra-high quality? This is super cool. I've always loved this painting, and this is by far the highest-resolution image that I've seen.

Flower petal pillow (#2?)

I know that I've posted something similar to this before... huh, I should start an arts 'n' crafts pillow collection.

Or you could, too.

Cutest gift idea EVER

Disney princesses come to life. Like, for real.

Regardless of any sexist or racist undertones that Disney may or may not have incorporated into its movies, it is a deeply-rooted part of my childhood, and I enjoy seeing new media related to the old classics.

This graphic designer fixed up classic Disney princesses so that we could see how they'd look if they were real people. Pretty awesome!

Make badass cupcakes with ponies!

I barely remember watching My Little Pony when I was little, but this is pretty freaking hilarious. Like... I really want that rainbow stuff now.

Dear photograph...

This is a very cool art project, which reminds me a bit of Post Secret. Take a picture of a picture from the past and post it with a brief story.

I'd love to try this sometime!

Very much to the point

Help your pillow grow some hair

I'm not all that much of an arts-and-crafts type, but this looks doable, even to me. And the resulting masterpiece is stylish as well as fun to play with.

Pillow!!!

This girl made him. Yes. And it is adorable. Check out her gallergy, because she makes little stuffed versions of other TV characters as well. Anybody a Mentalist fan? Or Buffy?

Eeeeeeeeeeee, I should write her and make a request for Sam...

Out of coloring books? A new way to make crayon art!

A friend was just telling me about a new project that she's working on. I haven't looked into the most effective, least messy ways to do this, but I'm putting it on my mental artsy to-do list.

The coolest art a pencil can make

I think I've seen more of these somewhere before, but you don't need to see a ton of them to be wowed.



http://traditionallymoderndesigns.blogspot.com/2010/09/this-is-one-of-most-incredible-art.html



I tried to decide which is my favorite, but it's not happening. They're all truly amazing each in their own ways. I myself would not have the patience to do this. Not to mention, then I'd be dreaming of carving pencils every night.

Bent Objects creator takes on a world of art

I believe I may have directed you to the Bent Objects blog before. Artist Terry Border uses food, wire, and other little things to create humorous characters and scenes, and released a book a while back. (Anyway, in case you've forgotten-- bentobjects.blogspot.com.)

He's just started on a new project in which he interprets other pieces of art in his own, epically twisted way. Oh I am so looking forward to all his future posts!

And actually, I wouldn't mind trying my own version of this, too. Hmmm...

Bobby's junkyard t-shirt

Yeah yeah, this is one for the Supernatural fans. This just in, fresh off Facebook. Apparently Jim Beaver (who plays Bobby Singer) bought this t-shirt, wore it to work, and now everybody there wants one. It was designed by heartjack.

I've got to say, I love the shirt too. We should all get one!

Art on LSD

Please know that I don't advocate the use of any drug, but I think that the effects they have on our brains can be fascinating. For instance, this article. It's short, so don't worry, and the drawings are crazy. This was the sort of thing that I was hoping to see when I first found the spiders-on-drugs video, but even if that was fake, it was still hilarious.

Anyway, here's the real deal.

Cute German cupcakes!

Okay, so if you're ever in Germany and want a cupcake... try this place. I've never even been to Germany, but these things are super cute.

Enjoy!

Moving = sad dogs

Bahaha. If you liked the spider rant, you should like this. It's another piece by Hyperbole and a Half! I've never had to deal with dogs this neurotic before, but maaan... what an adventure that would be. I'm curious now, and want a follow-up report!

Stained glass, pop art style

Dare I say that this is beyond epic? Can I... buy this place and live there??

I... suddenly feel like creating an insane amount of art. Trippy.

ModCloth is rad, groovy, and swell, man

Aaaaaaahhhhhh. I find some aspects of fashion interesting enough, but I'm by no means a fashionista. I used to be hooked on What Not To Wear until I got tired of it. BUT, if there is one thing that I love, it is vintage clothing. I love looking at photos from the 50s or 60s and drooling over girls in floral print dresses or guys fresh off of Carnaby Street.

And what's better? Being able to buy that kind of clothing today, because it's in style again! It's not cheap, but online store ModCloth.com has pretty much everything you could want.

So, let me get you started with a dress that I cannot get over. Even if this stuff is out of your price range, treat yourself to some delicious optical goodness.
