Childhood = Ruined: These Realistic-Looking Pokémon Are Absolutely Terrifying (Photos) Stock photos — they’re literally everywhere. If you’re an avid web-surfer, you’ve seen them used on various websites and online publications. If you like to walk around major cities, you’ve seen them used in advertisements. If you were looking to have fun in the tristate area back in the 1980s, there’s a high chance you placed all your bets on Action Park in New Jersey. Re-creating any kind of photo generally takes an ounce of creativity and a whole lot of skill. Famous musicians are already incredibly influential, so it was only a matter of time before they not only filled our homes with beautiful music, but also became our homes. Ever walk by a restaurant and have to do a double-take after seeing its outrageously absurd name? New 3D-printing technology has been taking the world by storm lately.
architecture - My Modern Met The LEAF kitchen by Dutch company Culimaat High End Kitchens is a modern room that’s inspired by nature. Its clean, minimalist aesthetic is accented by the stunning island in the center. Designers didn’t follow conventional geometric forms and instead opted for a rounded, organic shape that, in certain angles, seems to flow from the ground. Although the kitchen might look like it’s lacking in features, it’s actually well-equipped with a complete set of modern appliances. The design cleverly hides them when not in use but they’re still within an arm’s reach. Storage space was created in the wall units, and it’s where the oven, steamer, dishwasher, refrigerator, and wine cooler are also installed. To construct LEAF, Culimaat used a material called HI-MACS, which is a smooth, non-porous acrylic stone that’s heat resistant; it made the graceful curves of the kitchen island…
Star Box I suppose it isn't exactly the right time of year for stars and lanterns, but I've got a paper folding fascination at the moment and so was drawn to a project I had wanted to do back in Autumn. During last lantern season I was looking everywhere for instructions to make these beautiful paper lanterns and couldn't find them anywhere. I ended up purchasing a lantern that was already made and since I've been struggling with some difficult folds and designs of other paper crafts, I decided to unfold the seemingly simple lantern I bought and figure the thing out for myself. Since in my own quest for instructions I crossed paths with many other people looking for the same thing, I thought I'd do my best to share what I learned. Begin with a 12" square of paper to end up with a lantern that is about 7" across when complete. (Feb., 2012 edit: A video tutorial of this project can now be found here.) For crisper creases and to help fold thicker card stocks, try using a bone folder.
Nazgul - The Lord Of The Rings Procurei bastante um modelo do universo de “O Senhor dos Anéis” e não encontrei nada que me agradasse. Daí, com dicas que peguei na comunidade do Orkut e em vários sites por aí, tentei começar com este modelo que extraí do jogo “The Return Of The King”. O modelo não ficou nem próximo do que o pessoal faz em sites e fóruns espalhados pela internet. Eu identifiquei vários erros quando estava montando. Alguns eu acho que consegui corrigir, outros, teria que começar de novo desde a modelagem (que eu não saco nada…). Papel: Sulfite 180gr (6 folhas A4) Pra quem quiser tentar…. I've been looking for a model from "The Lord Of The Rings" and I didn't found one that pleased me. Download Arquivo sem senha (Unlocked file) - Você pode modificá-lo à vontade.

In addition to the rotating strips for day of the week, month of the year, and date, we thought it would be fun to add an option for mood as well. this being april 1st and all…we had to go with “nutty”. have fun!derek & lauren CLICK HERE for the full project instructions after the jump! here’s what you’ll need: -empty can of nuts (the template is for a 6.5 oz can that is 3.5” tall and has a 3” diameter.) 1. clean your empty can thoroughly. 2. download and print both calendar pdf files.
The 100 Best Sites for the Prop Maker | Prop Agenda When I began my blog back in 2009, it felt like only a handful of sites for the prop maker were out there. Since then, the field has practically exploded and you can find information everywhere. I post links to sites regularly, but I wanted to make a list of the sites you should be checking out regularly. So I’ve collected and categorized what I consider to be the 100 best sites for a prop maker. Forums Forums remain a great way to find information about prop making, since much of what we do is so specific and unique. Prop Makers Many prop makers have their own website or post their work online, but a few go the extra mile and show how they’ve built specific props. Blogs A number of sites may not be devoted entirely to teaching prop-making, but they still have regular tutorials, news and information relevant to the prop maker, or deal with comparable and related industries. Prop Agenda – Now, I couldn’t omit my own blog. Tutorials Tools and Reference Research Organizations and job sites
Inside Barangaroo: Sydney's Largest Redevelopment Project - TheUrbanDeveloper.com Barangaroo, Sydney’s largest redevelopment project is located on the Western edge of the CBD. The global financial hub and headland park is being created as a landmark for Sydney’s economic future and to give maximum access to the harbour.
