Oleg Oprisco

Oleg Oprisco is a very talented Ukranian photographer. He is also very mysterious or shall I say private? I couldn't find any information regarding this amazing artist. You must view more of his work. Most of his work is seen on Oleg's live journal or his website Oprisco.

This is a cute short for legos. I'm dedicating this to my nephews who just can't seem to get enough Legos. The sound effects are great. clickity click

Designer Bomi Kim invented this DIY clock. Although it hasn't reached production yet, it is very exciting. Kim has given you the ability to be creative and design your own clock. The brains of the clock are supplied and you provide the customizable clock hands. First seen on Home Rejuvenation.

Penny Tile

This is such a great idea. I love seeing people be creative with resources. Apartment Therapy reader Tova tiled their powder room with pennies. Later, New York's Standard Hotel restaurant tiled the Standard Grill in pennies. I've also seen floors tiled in circular wood which is the same concept, just a different material.

Cassandra Jones

Cassandra has the uncanny ability to take objects and turn them into masterful pieces of art. She used flamingos to create images of botanical prints and wallpaper; other objects were used to create kaleidoscope images. See more of Cassandra's work on her website Cassandra C. Jones

Michael Paulus

I happened to stumble upon Michael Paulus on etsy. I like Michael's sense of humor. He has taken popular cartoon characters and rendered their skeletal system as he imagines it might be.
You can see more of his work on his website Michael Paulus and he also has items for sale on etsy.

Yellena James

A few years ago I bought three prints from Yellena. I've enjoyed watching the changes in her artwork. My prints are similar to the design in the second image above. I think her more recent drawings hold more dimension and depth. Her career really seems to be taking off. She now has her designs on light globes and how cute is this kokeshi doll? You can purchase Yellena's prints on etsy , the glass blown light fixtures can be purchased at schoolhouse electric and the kokeshi doll can be purchased at gallery nucleus.

Maria Cristina Bellucci

Italian artist Maria Cristina Bellucci designs pencil crayon jewelry. For several years Bellucci worked as a costume and accessories designer in theatre. She also created a wide range of jewelry for stage use. From there, she developed a strong interest in jewelry design and ventured off on her own. Her jewelry is created by using fragments of pencils that have been formed together and then cut into a variety of shapes. See more of her work at klimt02

Glass House with Sliding Exterior

Check out this video. Ross and Sally Russell built this radical home in the country side of Suffolk, England. The Russells worked with architect, and long time friend, Alex De Rijke. The outside shelter of the building is basically a sleeve that can move along the side and roof of the house. Responding to the seasons and weather the home owners can pull back the siding and have a glass home completely exposed to the world.

A Alicia

If you are inspired by Anne Kyrrö Quinn (previous article), you could make rosettes to embelish a number of things. Notice how the little rosettes were applied toward a brooch. How cute is that? And if you're not feeling crafty, and you are lucky en0ugh to live in the UK you can purchase them right here from A Alicia at All Things Original.

Felt Pillow

Every time it starts to get cold outside, I get in the mood to start doing crafts, sewing, knitting etc... How easy is this? I like the look of this rosette pillow, but it might be fun to apply the concept to clothing too, such as a scarf, hat and mittens maybe even a purse. The easy step by step instructions can be found in etsy's step by step instructions. This Rosette Cluster Felt Pillow is taken from Anne Kyrrö Quinn’s book Felt Furnishings.

Gregg Fleishman

In 1972, Fleishman created cubes for a private alternative school in Culver City, California. He then spent the next 20 years making similar single module structures, domes, and octahedrals. As stated on his website, Fleishman is an architect, designer, artist and inventor whose work is largely influenced by geometry and functionality. Not only is his work creative, but practical too. He designed the 'DH1 Disaster House' which can be built without any fasteners for emergency type situations. See more of his work including some interesting chairs at his website, Gregg Fleishman.

Mary Ann Strandell

A friend and I were perusing through the IMS(International Market Square) this weekend when we stopped in a small art gallery that carried work by Mary Ann Srandell. I really wish you could see her artwork in person, because as beautiful as these images are, they are much more vibrant directly in front of you. Everything in the gallery that I gravitated to, was work done by Mary Ann Strandell. You can see more of her work at her website Mary Ann Strandell.

Yara Anderson

The following excerpt is from the Groveland Gallery:

"Yara Anderson grew up in a small village in The Netherlands. Her mother was an avid gardener and Yara learned to love flowers early on. In 1994, she graduated with a degree in Pharmacy from the Rijks Universiteit Groningen, The Netherlands, specializing in medicinal plants. This led to a 6-month research project in India and Nepal. Upon moving to the USA, she studied realistic sculpture at the Minnesota River School of Fine Arts. She started working as a museum fabrication artist in 1998, building botanically accurate plant, tree and insect models. She enrolled in the certificate program at the Minnesota School of Botanical Art in 2006.
