A Millionaire's Playground Made from Thrown-Away Lottery Tickets. Ghost of a Dream’s “Easy Money” series uses recycled materials to create large-scale objects and scenarios that explore our innermost drives and desires. All images courtesy of Ghost of a Dream If a lottery ticket seems like the pass to your dreams of wealth coming true, then the discarded remains of non-winning tickets are not simply pieces of paper, but crushed dreams made real. Yet behind each dream lost is also the hope of better luck next time, allowing the cycle to continue — and a never-ending stream of raw materials for artists who might reuse the thrown-away slips of card and paper.
Ghost of a Dream is a collaborative project by artistic duo Adam Eckstrom and Lauren Was. Unlike many other people, the husband-and-wife team do not regard unlucky lottery tickets as simply the end of a dream, but the beginning of one; their own dream of creating highly unusual art on a large scale seems to have come true, at least.

Thirty five years ago I had yet to be born, but artist Scott Weaver had already begun work on this insanely complex kinetic sculpture, Rolling through the Bay, that he continues to modify and expand even today.
The elaborate sculpture is comprised of multiple “tours” that move pingpong balls through neighborhoods, historical locations, and iconic symbols of San Francisco, all recreated with a little glue, some toothpicks, and an incredible amount of ingenuity. He admits in the video that there are several toothpick sculptures even larger than his, but none has the unique kinetic components he’s constructed. Via his website Weaver estimates he’s spent over 3,000 hours on the project, and the toothpicks have been sourced from around the world: I have used different brands of toothpicks depending on what I am building. I also have many friends and family members that collect toothpicks in their travels for me. See the sculpture for yourself at the Tinkering Studio through the end of June. Amazing San Francisco sculpture made of toothpicks.
Rolling through the bay is an abstract toothpick sculpture of San Francisco.
It has about 100,000 of toothpicks. The amazing part, is that it has four ping pong ball paths that roll through different landmarks of San Francisco. Scott Weaver has spent about 3000 hours on it over a period of 34 years. Here are the individual components of this toothpick sculpture. Bay Bridge Fullsai Dragon Painted Ladies. Toothpick Sculpture. Incredible Cardboard Cameras by Kiel Johnson. Artist Kiel Johnson has used common cardboard to meticulously re-create an incredible collection of old-school cameras — from the Instamatic to the Polaroid to the Hi-8.
Johnson’s obsession with paper is infectious — it’s obvious in the way he constructs every button and lens notch. Read on to learn more about Johnson’s incredible analog tribute to great cameras of the past! That Johnson’s father was a printer speaks something of his obsession with paper. This tie is especially evident in his much-publicized show Publish or Perish at the Moore Gallery a few years back. The exhibition featured a paper-made printing press in addition to a hand-made and fully operational cardboard camera! + Kiel Johnson. Beautiful Paper Rolls by Anastassia Elias.
