DIY Bird Wings for Children :: vintage + modern design for kids and the home Eri posted a DIY tutorial for this amazing bird wings costume on her blog, Llevo el Invierno. She provides a free pattern that you can download as well, sized for children ages 18 to 36 months. Using the template she provides, you can assemble the wings by either gluing or sewing the fabric. According to Eri, the project isn’t all that difficult. It just takes some time and patience to cut and paste/sew all the pieces of fabric. Isn’t her daughter Emma absolutely adorable? Thanks, Eri!

6 Terrifying Ways Crows Are Way Smarter Than You Think Mankind has a long and checkered past with crows and ravens: They have been feared as symbols of death, because they're all black and scary, revered as creators of the world because, well, it was either them or the seagulls, and worshiped as trickster gods, because of their baffling intelligence. Intelligent enough, in fact, for us to start worrying ... #6. They Can Remember Your Face Next time you see a group of crows, look closely. Try to remember which one is which, and see if you can tell the difference between them the next time you pass. OK, so the scientists weren't just playing out horror movie fantasies -- they were testing whether the crows could recognize human faces or not. "Wow. Pretty soon, every single crow on the campus knew which masks meant trouble, and wanted the guys wearing them dead. Oh, and also none of the scientists were ever seen again. #5. I say, is that a west London accent I detect in that screaming gibberish? #4. One. They'll be back any minute now
Ethereal Digital Paintings Capture The Look Of Loneliness | The Creators Project - StumbleUpon Loneliness never looked so depressingly good. Variations of glittered deformations form the basis for a grotesquely beautiful motif in the works of Japanese artist 非(xhxix). Digitally sketching, drawing, and painting everything using Photoshop alone, 非 visualizes loneliness in his subjects and decorates them with scars, layers of geometric abstractions and floral imagery. As most of his subjects are young men, the artist explains that “boys are more suitable to express loneliness as women are emotional and powerful.” Concocting images of isolated pain and an ethereal sadness into haunting depictions of young western men, 非 reveals a mystified insight into the depths of the Japanese psyche.

He has been completed this crazy project called Flying Mouse 365, which is create 1 design per day. I hope his illustrations can bring some smile and entertainment to the world. About the author The human flamingo: Painted sculptures of naked women who donｿt mind being called birds Updated: 21:52 GMT, 17 February 2012 Drawing the human figure is a skill that most artists attempt to master during their careers. But Gesine Marwedel has taken that idea one stage further in putting together her unique 'body' of work - by transforming live models into human canvases. The German speech therapist, 24, studied Rehabilitation Science at university where she learnt how to help sick children through creative therapies such as art and music. Art imitating life: A model painted and posed to resemble a flamingo demonstrates Gesine's unusual technique Fluorescent finish: This model was covered from head to toe in a swirling, abstract pattern She now paints in her spare time and enjoys working on a variety of different surfaces, including the human body and more conventional canvas. Landscape with nude: This model's body was used to depict a frozen nocturnal scene Bird of a feather: This model is transformed into a swan taking flight
Steampunk Insects Created from Bullets Tom Hardwidge’s Arthrobots are robotic insects — steampunk creations made from upcycled gears, nuts, bolts… and bullets! All images courtesy of Tom Hardwidge . English artist Tom Hardwidge has an unusual specialty: creating steampunk insects from old, inactive ammunition and pieces of clockwork. Even harder to believe is that Hardwidge creates steampunk insects only as a hobby; he is a digital designer by day and gets time to work as a creative insect maker only at night. Most of the pieces are supplied by local company, The Watch Lab, who sift through their rubbish bins to find parts for Hardwidge. All the insects start with a set of preliminary sketches in Hardwidge’s steampunk sketchbook, inspired by nature of course. As far as recycling goes, Hardwidge repurposes as many parts as he can, and the basis for the insects showcased here is always a piece of inactive ammunition. Hardwidge created the main part of the dragonfly’s body (above and top) from a piece of inactive ammunition.
