Seren - Amigurumi

I found Seren's blog - www.allsocute.blogspot.com on one of the blog hops I participated in and fell in love with her amigurumis at first sight! Seren lives in Istanbul, Turkey. Check out her super sweet blog but a word of caution though, you may get an overdose of cuteness!!

*Amigurumi - the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically animals, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features.

Adoptabots of Brian Marshall

I totally love these creations of Delaware-based middle school teacher Brian Marhsall. They are called 'adoptabots' - sculptures made from discarded daily objects. They kinda remind me of those mechanical aliens from the movie 'Batteries Not Included'. Aren't they just too adorable?

Dinh Truong Giang - Origami

Check out these origami pieces by Virginia-based artist, Vietnamese Dinh Truong Giang.
Dinh lost everything, including the origami books his parents bought him after the war ended in Vietnam in 1975. He found the same book in a bookstore after migrating to the US and started folding again.
After about 2 years folding from books, he proceeded to create original origami models.

Samuel Price - Dog Collage

Using discarded magazines, artist Sam Price creates these dog portraits by cutting and assembling a number of photographs onto a canvas fixed with a glue emulsion.
This process can be defined as collage or more specifically, photomontage.
