Kira Ayn Varszegi

Here's an artist with a difference - Kira Ayn Varszegi creates paintings using her 38DD hooters as painbrush. Kira was also known for her past collaborative projects with Koopa the turtle who is now retired from painting.

She covers her breasts in paint and then presses them like brushes against her canvases. There's a video on how it's done but this is a family-friendly blog.

Some of her masterpieces.

Her breast pieces are sold online, with some fetching more than £600.

Kay Petal - Felt Alive

Alaskan needle felt artist Kay Petal created these whimsical life-like celebrities. While recovering from cancer in 2007, Kay realized how precious life is and decided to spend time doing things that bring joy in her life. For her, that would mean spending time felting.

Miniland Zoo

Check out this mini zoo built entirely out of Lego bricks by Steef de Prouw. It has everything you'd expect in a real zoo - a snackbar, a reptile house, zookeepers shoveling manure, etc and even things you don't normally see in a zoo like a tentacled monster! The Kraken, perhaps??
Here are just some of the pics.

The reptile house

Snack bar

Every zoo has one of these: an area with dense foliage, the sign missing, and no trace of an animal. No one's sure if there's supposed to be an animal in there, or if you're just staring under the leaves for a couple of minutes trying to find an animal that just isn't there.

Not your average find in a zoo

Dust If You Must!

I HATE HOUSEWORK PERIOD

So this kinda justifies everything, doesn't it?

Remember...a layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it.

A house becomes a home when you can write 'I love you' on the furniture.

I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect 'in case someone came over'
Finally I realized one day, that no-one
actually came over;
they were all out living life and having fun!
NOW, when people visit, I don't have to explain the 'condition' of my home

They are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing while I was away living life and having fun.
If you haven't figured this out yet, please heed this advice.

Life is short. Enjoy it!

Dust if you must ...
but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, bake cookies or a cake and lick the spoon or plant a seed.
It is time to ponder the difference
between want and need !!!


Dust if you must, but there's not all THAT much time .

with wine to drink, rivers to swim and mountains to climb, music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must,

but the world's out there with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair...
a flutter of snow, a shower of rain.
This day will not come around, again....
Dust if you must , but bear in mind, old age will come and it won't be kind....
And when you go - and go you must -
you, yourself will make more dust!

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.
