Barefoot Design Shows Artisanal Concrete Sinks at Greenfest

Don’t think of concrete when you think of artisanal handcrafts? These sinks custom-created by Barefoot Design might change you mind.

Imagine seeing water splash on this gorgeous fossil as you wash your hands. The spiral of the shell fossil echoes the movement of water.

This is just one example of the artisanal handcrafted concrete sinks shown at Greenfest in San Francisco this year by Keelin Kennedy of Barefoot Design, whose intention in each piece she creates is to manifest her reverence for the lessons that the natural world provides.

Sustainable aspect? Concrete lasts for thousands of years. These sinks will last as long as the concrete aqueducts built in Caesar’s time. Whether the house it is in will too… that’s another story!

Even Rats Can be Cute and Very Intelligent, too!

All animals are cute in their own way, and even those stinky creatures called rats can be cute sometimes. Dutch photographer Ellen van Deelen (what a poetic name) has got to an idea to train a few of white rats to hold different instruments and objects.

The result of that is beautiful gallery of photos of little rats. Ellen says she didn’t like rats too much but she decided to use them as models when she meet two little rats and found they are very intelligent creatures.Author portfolio .

Don’t Drop Your Old Books, You Could Make Some Masterpieces of Them

You have an old used book and you plan to drop it in garbage? Well, after reading this post you might change your mind about that and try to make some cool paper-cut sculptures from its papers  . I always liked those books for kids with different sculptures and objects which would fold up when you open the book. Even when I grew up I was always fascinated with such kind of books.

Su Blackwell realized that she actually could create some artworks in a similar way. Those are not the books which are made only for kids and those paper sculptures definitely do not fold up when you open them, but they are great examples that you can create a true artwork even from old used book.

Su has made some really amazing sculptures cut from books’ papers and we will show you here some of her most interesting artworks. Author site .

Dogs really love to eat everything, don’t they?

We all know that dogs love to chew on almost anything, but some of them tend to swallow the items they are playing with. These pictures are showing X-rays of all the crazy things that dogs have managed to get down their throats.

The most swallowed item seems to be socks, but there are also other things that can be found – everything from little plastic toys, coins, pencils, to expensive jewelries and even sharp kitchen knives.

This Dalmatian collie ate a plastic Homer Simpson toy. She got it fortunately removed by a surgery that went well.

Other pets are also guilty for having swallowed strange objects, like a snake that tried to eat a golf ball, or a cat that accidentally ate a needle.

Speaking of looking inside an animal’s body, these embryonic photographs are showing the baby animals that lies inside the wombs.

Who would have thought that dumpsters could be so much fun

British design graduate Oliver Bishop-Young has come up with an urban art project, called the SkipWaste project, where dumpsters are used in a fun and different way. They are no longer used for trash, but for activities and other amazing art installations. You have dumpsters that work as either a skate ramp, a lawn, a flower bed, a pool, or even a cozy living room.

They appeal to everybody, both the younger and the older. It’s a great way to get people out on the streets enjoying the fun that the dumpsters are giving.

Others have also used simple objects to create urban art, like the four Australian friends that created a huge “Lego Man” out of ordinary milk crates.
