Colossal and Pinterest Randomness...

I've been busy all week so I've hardly had any time to check in on my favorite blogs/websites/etc but grabbed a few minutes today to do so and saw a few gems I wanted to share...

These beautiful neon pieces by Lee Jung were found on Colossal.

Also from Colossal are these hand cut paper pieces by Annie Vought.

And this ice ship sculpture created by Rhea Thierstein was found on Pinterest.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Bonsai Tree Houses by Takanori Aiba

These bonsai tree houses by Takanori Aiba are so amazing...

From Colossal:

For nearly a decade since the late 1970s artist Takanori Aiba worked as a maze illustrator for Japanese fashion magazine POPYE. The following decade he worked as an architect and finally in 2003 decided to merge the two crafts—the design of physical space and the drawing of labyrinths—into these incredibly detailed tiny worlds. Using craft paper, plastic, plaster, acrylic resin, paint and other materials Aiba constructs sprawling miniature communities that wrap around bonsai trees, lighthouses, and amongst the cliffs of nearly vertical islands. I would love to visit every single one of these places, if only I was 6 feet shorter. See more of Aiba’s work here. (via design you trust)

Anatomical Cross-Sections Made with Quilled Paper by Lisa Nilsson

 

Another gem from Colossal! These anatomical cross sections by Lisa Nilsson are made of quilled paper (Do you remember doing that when you were little? I do but it was never as amazing as this!)
