Pop Bottles – a ‘tongue in cheek’ art project by Italian model and Designer Anna Utopia Giordano, who sez:

…the bottles are NOT for sale, they are part of an art exhibition. This is an art project to raise social awareness on topics such as alcohol abuse by teens, alcohol abuse by pregnant women, the disinterest of some parents towards their children (abandoned for days between toys and video games), how far marketers can go to gain the attention of their younger customers. There are no commercial purposes.

Sculptor Jenine Shereos creates these delicate, skeletal leaves made from stitched and knotted human hair.  Sez she:

In this series, the intricacies of a leaf’s veining are recreated by wrapping, stitching, and knotting together strands of human hair. Inspired by the delicate and detailed venation of a leaf, I began stitching individual strands of hair by hand into a water- soluble backing material. At each point where one strand of hair intersected another, I stitched a tiny knot, so that when the backing was dissolved, the entire piece was able to hold its form. Creating this work was a very meditative process for me, as I found myself lost in the detail of the small, organic microcosms that began taking shape.

By Nicola Cotton who sez:

I really love drawing animals and creating strange and wonderful characters that are part animal and human; the type of creatures you would meet in a fairytale. As is common in fairytales and folktales, the adventure that the characters are about to embark on in this scene begins in the woods.
