UNIQUE ART: VERSION OF "STARRY NIGHT" MADE OUT OF MELTED BEADS

Photo:  Source


After seeing this I won't look at those "pony" plastic beads the same way ever again.

A user on sweets4ever on Craftser.org created the above by arranging plastic beads on a baking sheet and melting them to create a version of Van Goh's iconic "Starry Night" painting.

I did find a tutorial at Enjoytheviewblog.com if you want to try to make your own unique art with pony beads.

UNIQUE ART: UPCYCLED STATUE BY RODOLFO MARASCIUOLO

Sculpture by Rodolfo Marasciuolo , Giardini Lamarmora (Lamarmora Gardens) , Torino, Italy

I like this as it looks like a vintage lace ghost watering flowers.

An article here indicates:

"Roberto aka Rudy Marasciuolo (1961) is an Italian artist.
Rudy Marasciuolo is an employee of the Municipality of Turin, where he works for the public green sector. He repairs brushcutters, lawnmowers and chainsaws and in his free moments he creates his works of art with recycled materials: pipes, pieces of chandeliers, sticks for curtains, dissuaded poles, torn clothes, old clothes and old household items."
In addition to upcycling discarded items into works of art, another unique thing he does per the article is to move the displays around in the city.

Pancake Cat Portraits


This gem is from BuzzFeed Japan and features someone that creates cat portraits using pancake batter. 

While I think it would be hard enough to do quickly enough is right side up so you could see it, you would have to create this drawing backwards and not being able to see it until you flipped it, which is what makes it truly amazing.

Artist Uses Sewing Machine Powered by a Bicycle to Create Portraits




A young artist has a unique approach to creating portraits; she uses a sewing machine
powered by a bicycle to create unique portraits around the world.

In the video, the artist, Harriet Institchyou Riddell, said her art teacher suggested she bring a 
sewing machine to class to stitch the naked models and as her sketches looked like stitching.

She had the idea of getting others involved by having them ride a bicycle to generate the 
electricity in order to operate her sewing machine.

Below is a screenshot from the video showing the finished portrait of the man powering the bike for the
portrait.
