Shut the Box Game


Except for the magnets, this whole lil project was made from the scrap bins. I made this for my youngest Grandson (so far the youngest).. We’ll be doing our Christmas with him and the rest of my kids in a few weeks when my youngest Daughter has her 1st baby. I got the idea from a magazine, and I know some folks on here have made them. The outside is just some Maple scrap, and the number blocks are also scraps/cut-offs from pen & pencil blanks. These woods of Yellowheart, Redheart, and Purpleheart were cut in half, then I burned the numbers on em. The 3/4” square acrylic dice were also in the cut-off tub. I used an 1/8” brazing rod for the numbers bar, so they could flip them up and down. The top is a scrap piece of acrylic that is glued to the top portion and actually slides to close. It will have a magnet or 2 to hold the lid on while it is not used. OH, I almost forgot, the felts, (green & blue/purple), were also scraps. Thnx for the looks and/or any comments, yep, I’m gonna say it, good, bad, and/or ugly.

Human Brains Made of People



via Mighty Optical Illusions http://www.moillusions.com/2013/01/human-brains-made-of-people.html

Perhaps not the trickiest of it’s kind, today’s art installation depicts human brains made from people. The illusion is very subtle, yet visually adorable. Shown is the dress rehearsal of the first human brain in a series of three, an “Idea Worth Doing” preformed by Rutger Hauer, The Dutch National Ballet and Amsterdam’s creative community. The end result in front of you was used for TEDxAmsterdam promotional poster and marketing. Beautiful, isn’t it? I still prefer Human Bike and Human Car, though ;)
