Minas Tirith: The Battle of Pelennor Fields
Dave, his brothers, sister and some of their friends made a scale model of Minas Tirith a city from the Tolkien’s famous Lord of the Rings. The entire city and armies are made from candy, mostly gummy bears. They’ve made elephants, the licorice ram that was used to smash the gates of the city and even a White Tree of Gondor made out of chocolate pretzels. There also a short video showing the city.
Stainless Steel Mouse
Modifying your stuff is a popular thing nowadays. Take steampunk for example. But this is something different. This is a stainless steel mouse and it took the creator 8 months to make it. Its base is Microsoft’s IntelliMouse Optical and is USB+PS/2 compatible but you can’t really tell what mouse it “was”before its glorious transformation. The downside to this is such things are usually one-of-a-kind and are not for sale or very expensive but hey, this only make it cooler
The Design Pod
This self-contained office on wheels was design by an Australian-based Andrew Maynard Architects. When the pod is folded it forms a small cylinder when unfolded if becomes a fully functional home office. The wheels allow you to move the pod where ever you like. When you are done using it just fold and move it in the corner or closet.
Packaging Tape Art
As the title says these were made from ordinary packaging tape applied on plexiglas panels. The trick is to apply the tape in layers. More layers of packaging tape means darker areas. When placed in front of a light the picture on the plexiglas appears. This is a very interesting way to express yourself with lots of potential. I hope it catches on so we can see more art done in this style.
About Chiars
