When I ran the Peachtree Road Race (one of the largest 10K races in the world) in 2009, I saw all kinds of crazy stuff along the way. It was the most fun I've ever had while exercising.

Expressive Animals Sculpted From Aluminum Foil
These little aluminum foil animals are so endearing to me. Nowadays, if you decide to take your leftovers home from a restaurant, they most likely get packed up in a small to-go container. Twenty years ago it was very different though. Back then, where I lived, the servers at the restaurants would p ...

Alphabet Letters Created From Everyday Objects & Negative Space
I'll admit; I'm not normally a huge fan of negative space art. I can appreciate it from a design perspective since it adds a whole level of complexity to the design itself, but quite honestly, it makes my brain hurt.
