Fascinating Chewing Gum Art
I can’t decide if this guy is a genius or if he is having a mid life crisis. Ben Wilson, age 41, travels around Europe painting the gum that people have spit out on the sidewalks. He can spend up to ten hours painting one piece of gum. Your mind isn’t blown yet? Well check out the photos below. ...
The Art of Leaf Carving
For some artists, wood, stone or clay are not the only medium to use when creating a unique piece of art. I admire people who take the time to discover different ways in which to showcase their creativity.
You would not think that a leaf can be one such medium considering carving is tough alread ...

The 1,000 Pound Butter Sculpture
Before reading about this story, I never knew that butter sculpting existed. Now that I’ve learned about the process, I’m intrigued by it. Your hands have to remain so cold that they are almost numb while you sculpt with the butter otherwise it will melt, and of course, you have to have a cold pla ...
Photography Tutorial | Light Painting
Several months ago Richard wrote a Photoshop tutorial on How to Create Light Effects. I’m not a Photoshop master like Richard, and every time I look at that article, I think about creating light effects (called light painting) with my camera.

Art Meets Technology | Dazzling Designs
It’s always mind bending to me when things that normally don’t go together, suddenly fit together well. I wouldn’t think that crafts and technology necessarily go together, but as the students in the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology show us, anything is truly possible.

A Tribute To The Most Creative City In The World: Seattle
Fast Company magazine named Seattle the most creative city of the year for 2009. I had no idea that the small town of Seattle was such a creative hot spot. I’ve never been there, and up until today, the only things I knew about Seattle are that it rains a lot and many of my favorite musicians hail ...

Interactive Mirrors | The Mirrors of the Future
Mirror, mirror on the wall, what’s the coolest mirror of all? I read many years ago in a Napoleon Hill book that successful people write their goals down. I don’t know why, but I’ve always done this with lipstick on my bathroom mirror. I think my thought process when I started doing this was that ...
The Best Etch A Sketch Artwork in the World
Do you remember playing with an Etch A Sketch? I loved my Etch A Sketch when I was little. I played with it every day for years. Recently, I even considered buying myself another one, just for the fun of it. It’s one of those classic toys that never goes out of style.

How To: Look Good In A Photograph
I’m one of those people that really doesn’t like having my picture taken. I’m usually the person taking the pictures so that I don’t have to be in them. Some people naturally look good in photographs. However, I’m usually the one that looks like a big goof ball in all my pictures.
Then, I was ...
