…and artist Sarah DiNardo’s involves rolling long strips of masking tape into different sized cones and cylinders, then arranging them in ‘found’ boxes.
It all stems from a childhood obsession with the tactility of Chiquita banana stickers.
We like Sarah.

Saturday: Dancing Suns: Nina Hynes @ Peppercanister Church (€15)
Nialler9 writes:
Dancing Suns is a collaboration with Irish musician Nina Hynes and her fellah Fabien Leseure with the help of Sean Carpio. The Goldmine album launched this Saturday is ambitious in scale and a brilliant record. It features sweeping orchestral arrangements and songs that wouldn’t sound it of place in an alternative soundtrack for The Wizard Of Oz. The Peppercanister gig will bring the album to life in a once-off live set featuring 16 musicians.
Always has to be different.
Blossom the Blossom Bat was taken into the care of Louise Saunders at Bat Conservation and Rescue Queensland after a cat attack, nursed back to health and later released on Macleay Island.
But not before her weapons-grade adorability was harvested for teh interwebs.
BCRQ sez:
Blossom Bats are nectar specialists which feed and groom themselves with the aid of their long tongues. They are known to hover in front of flowers as they forage and are important pollinators of many rainforest plants. A baby at the time of arrival, the little bat was fed a nectar mix recipe and the occasional milk formula. Blossom gradually gained weight and began to practice flying during the night. Often she would dart in and out of rooms and even hover above Louise as she slept before retiring to her little brown bag at dawn.

Crisps contained within the chocolate itself.
Radical, simple and thinking so literally out of the box you might as well give up and start baking Guinness trifles or a make yourself a cup of Barry’s coffee.
We have a box of the Tayto cheese ‘n’ onion chocolate bars to give away in a sweet and, quite possibly savoury, competition.
To enter, just complete this sentence.
Cheese n’ Onion AND Chocolate is like ________________ and ____________________

Mmm,

While the film features Terry, Torres and Mata, the stills for the print and online executions – also shot by Zibert – feature additional players including Demba Ba, Gary Cahill, Petr Cech, Eden Hazard, David Luiz, and Oscar.
The commercial (above) and two of the print ads (top) for Adidas and Chelsea FC’s new campaign ‘It’s Blue…What Else Matters’.
Fair play though, in fairness.
Thanks Spaghetti Hoop
