The Pinhegg – My Journey To Build An Egg Pinhole Camera. Since I started pin-holing the world, I have had the strong desire to make a special camera, with the purpose of shooting just one photograph. The purpose was to sacrifice the camera in the process of photo creation – I wanted the camera to become the photograph.
To let you understand, the process from the camera to the photograph is the same that ties the baby bird to the egg: the bird grows protected from the shell and when it's ready breaks it and comes out. This is why I decided to create the Pinhegg – An Egg Pinhole Camera. On the one hand it all seemed so easy – I would create the Pinhegg without breaking the egg, using it as a camera obscura and, upon opening the egg, find the photograph impressed on the shell.
Great. But, on the other hand, the project didn’t seem easy at all and I postponed it for years – Until, that is, Lomography and the Pinhole Day happening right on Easter gave me the right pretext to do it.

When I was a child, making paper beads from the stacks of National Geographic was one of my favorite indoor pastimes. And I’m not the only one. The creation of beads from colorful paper goes back to Victorian times when ladies used knitting needles and paper scraps to create beads for decorations around their homes. The style of the beads varies considerably depending on how you cut your strips of paper. These templates will give you an idea of where to start but it’s fun to experiment on your own to find your own favorite style. Things you’ll need: Magazine pagesScissors Knitting needle or dowel rod Glue stickSpray sealerMagazine Bead Template Things to do: 1. 2. 3.
This Project Uses These Product(s) Irina Vinnik Portfolio. The Queen of Creative Reuse. The incandescent bulbs that shone so merrily in the Queen's palaces all her life and yours, Dear Reader, is going to be phased out by the federal government. They will eventually no longer be allowed to be sold in the United States. People will be looking for creative things to do with all those incandescent lamps (subject of a future Trashy Wench blog, I'm sure) and all the bulbs in those lamps, regardless of whether they are working or burnt out bulbs.
The incandescent bulbs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, all with wonderful curves of all shapes, sort of like the Wench and her wonderful female friends! Here are some pictures of bright ideas of what others have done with their curvy little bulbs: Hot Air Balloon Decorations Mini Terrariums Plant rooters and vases Micro Oil Lamps Dried or Silk Flower Ornaments Glamorous globes for miniature light strings. Tall Tales of Depravity. My Alice pieces. Last year, I saw that Gallery Nucleus announced the upcoming show "Curiouser and Curiouser: Inspired by Alice in Wonderland". It made me wanted to join but I didn't get invited by them. I must admit that I never draw any girl characters like Alice, Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc. During my childhood years, I always drew Betty & Veronica from Archie comics, Garfield, Mickey Mouse, Ranma 1/2, Dragonballz, Felix the Cat and mostly cartoon characters.
In the beginning of January 2010, I was super stressed in preparing & making artworks for Whispers show and Outerspace Gallery show, I got unexpectedly invited by Lin from Gallery Nucleus for the Alice theme show. I didn't confirm because I was so busy in doing other art projects... but I thought of myself, "Aww come on, Mall! Go for it! In the end week of January, I have finished all pieces for the shows... 5" x 7" Framing size: 9" x 11" Graphite on Paper 11" x 14" Framing size: 18.5" x 21" Acrylic + Colored Pencil on Paper.

Janne Parviainen - Helsinki, Finland Artist - Painters - Photographers. About Janne Janne Parviainen paints old recycled windows with a mix of oils, metal leaf, and permanent markers, to create neon-coloured installations. His chief subjects are urban environments and natural landscapes. Working on both sides of the glass produces a strong feeling of depth and space.
As a historical element, the old window panes create a story of their own; life has been observed through the windows countless times before in their previous use. The metal leaves presenting the sky with their luminosity and reflections emphasize the paintings’ technology-influenced appearance and so on distract it from the traditional nature portraits. Parviainen has observed for example that the typical Finnish landscape is no longer is a hilltop and a summery lake, but a constructed urban view; a place where you can associate with your history, actions and memories.

Site. Mesmerizing Rainbow Art. Jen Stark mesmerizes us once again with her vibrantly colored artwork! Just this past weekend, she exhibited an incredible new piece at Show & Tell Gallery in Toronto, Canada. Though we're used to seeing her insanely detailed kaleidoscopic paper sculptures, this time Stark switches things up with a wooden optical illusion! In this piece, wooden rods are arranged in a circular form, growing progressively taller as they make their way towards the center. Stark painted the tops with a variety of bright colors and the sides either black or white depending on their placement. The formation resulted in a crazy cool piece that resembles either the top of a giant color pencil or a multi-colored cupcake, depending on your vantage point! Via [Arrested Motion] Instagram.
