Sculpting everyday materials by Tara Donovan
The American artist Tara Donovan experimenting with virtually worthless trifles like toothpicks, foil, straws and nails. By collecting things - often in the tens or hundreds of thousands she conjures both the physical and poetic potential of the material and make it "grow" into organic sculptures that works sensual and alluring.

Cross Connection
Soon the Cross Connection Ballet Company have a new performance in Copenhagen. Right now they are busy at their workshop, doing choregraphy and rehearsing, designers creating costumes and scenographers working on making the right visual sceneries.
Their performances consist of several short ballets, with different dancers and artists. So you get a glimpse of different styles and moods. It ususally results in a magical experience.
CCBC is an international dance ensemble of experienced professional dancers and choreographers, founded in 2007 by Constantine Baecher and Cedric Lambrette, both dancers at the Royal Danish Ballet. Their mission is to promote contemporary dance by performing for a broad audience, while being a platform for budding choreographers and new works.
OUTSIDE IN takes place in the end of June. Take a look at what it could look like...

Do the Dog Pose
|
Doga - or Dog Yoga - is the new excercise form in New York. Bring your pup to yoga class, and you can both do the Downward-facing Dog posture. Doga is a combination of massage and meditation with gentle stretching for dogs and their human partners. For example in a “resting poseâ€, the owner reclines, with legs slightly bent over the dog’s torso to relieve pressure on the spine. This is supposed to make the dog and it’s human partner closer and more connected. What a great way to spend more quality time with your doggy...? |

Cottingley Fairies
| In 1917 two cousins, Elsie Wright, 16, and Frances Griffiths, 10, came to public attention in the UK. They claimed, and presented over time, five photographs that appeared to show them in the company of fairies. Some believed the pictures to be authentic, and even Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle came to be a firm believer in them. For much of their lives the girls maintained that they were genuine, before finally admitting in an interview in 1981, that they had been faked using cardboard cut outs stuck on hatpins. Elsie Wright though continued to maintain until her death in 1986 that they had seen fairies in their garden and that the fifth and final picture, in which neither girl is present, was genuine. |

Camouflage
| Meet the real life invisible man - Liu Bolin, 36-year-old artist, has the ability to disappear. Inspired by how some animals blend themselves into the surroundings for self-protection, Bolin creates these amazing camouflage artworks. He paints himself to merge with the surroundings, and he is so apt at it that at times passers-by don't even realize he is there until he moves. He takes up to 10 hours at a time for a single photo to get the perfect outcome. For Liu Bolin no surrounding is too difficult to blend into. |

Find the child
These might be pictures of every little girl's dream? From The Pink & Blue Project. A little piece of history, from the description of the project: "Pink was once a color associated with masculinity, considered to be a watered down red and held the power associated with that color. In 1914, The Sunday Sentinel, an American newspaper, advised mothers to “use pink for the boy and blue for the girl, if you are a follower of convention.†The change to pink for girls and blue for boys happened in America and elsewhere only after World War II. As modern society entered twentieth century political correctness, the concept of gender equality emerged and, as a result, reversed the perspective on the colors associated with each gender as well as the superficial connections that attached to them." |

Style rookie
| This 13 year old girl is may be a style rookie, as the title of her blog says. But she is very fashion savvy, and has a lot of opinions as well as a great eye for photography. Also a very well developed language and a personal style that make her blog worth the read... Here is what she writes about herself: "Tiny 13 year old dork that sits inside all day wearing awkward jackets and pretty hats. Scatters black petals on Rei Kawakubo's doorsteps and serenades her in rap. I have no where near 4 million readers. Rather cynical and cute as a drained rat. In a sewer. Farting. And spitting out guts." PS: Finally upload is working again! |

Barbie slaughter - For beauty you must suffer!
Ever play with Barbie dolls? You might like this jewellery then... It's amazing how recognizable she is, even in small cutouts of her body. These are all works by Margaux Lange - she has specialized in jewellery made from Barbie body parts, and she writes on her site; "I enjoy the funny juxtaposition of wearing the body, on the body. Barbie has become the accessory instead of being accessorized." |

| Pencils in 500 different colours, with names like Lettuce, Tea With Milk, Bonfire, Rapunzel, Madame Pomperdour, etc. You don't receive all of them at once, but over the course of 20 months. So you can get to know each and every one of them. They also make different cases, to keep and display your pencils. Very aesthetic! |

Toothpick city
This is a guy called Scott Weaver. He started gluing toothpicks together around 34 years ago and started rolling ping pong balls around the results. Eventually, that would become this toothpick sculpture of San Francisco that he has spent about 3,000 hours (about 375 work days) creating in his living room. Wow! |

If you’ve been on a cruice ship, you might have experienced this… The service personnel fold these animals and leave them for you after the daily cleaning of the room. If you leave your sunglasses in the room, you are very likely to find the animal wearing them when you return. They are really cute, I wouldn’t want to unwrap them! |

Wallpaper maze
This wallpaper is cool! It is decorative, both blank, and after being drawn on. It will change appearance forever. Great idea for the bathroom or waiting room - wherever people feel bored! Just put a bucket of different coloured pens in there too! And last but definitely not least: it is a good excuse for you to draw on walls! |

PJs as outdoor wear
| In Shanghai it is not uncommon to see people walking
the streets in pajamas, and not only in the morning. They wear them for
shopping, dogwalking, and I guess many other places too… Of course a
pajama is very comfortable, but could it become a fashion? |
 |
 |
I love these pictures, because although the people look kind of serious, the PJs totally out of context makes them funny and surrealistic. |

It looks amazing, and I am fascinated by the fact that there are

and is now growing them all over his yard. It’s pretty cool I think! |

| Ever tried making a shadow with your hands, that looked like a dog’s or
a rabbit’s head? Well, you can do a lot more than that…How about an
elephant, or a human face? Here’s a few so you can practice. |
 |
 |
It takes a little practice, though, to get it as good as the guy in this first video… it’s amazing how fluid his movements are, and how he can bend those fingers and hands! |
| Also the second one is pretty cool… it’s from the Oscar Show, a group of maybe ten dancers doing different movie-titles like Happy Feet and James Bond. |

Popup books

By Robert Sabuda. These books are amazing! They kind of look like many other children’s story books on the outside, but there’s an unbelievable world inside. And on every page there are small popup books within the popup book! There are so many great details, you can look them through again and again, and always discover something new. I made these videos to try to show you how wonderful they are.
The first one is Alice in Wonderland, the second is The Wizard of Oz. Music by Hess is More. Enjoy! |

Fake cakes
 |
|
How about buying a fake cake (or why not many)! It is so much easier than making a real one, and you can use it again and again! I guess you must be pretty sure though, that your guests will turn down your offer (it would NEVER work with my friends), but you will get the credit for making that beautiful dessert! It would also be cool to decorate a whole room in the house with cakes… like the bedroom for example. You would be granted sweet dreams every night! There are actually several websites selling fake cakes and other desserts and foods, both ready- and custom-made. There must be a great market for this out there… These ones are from Leelees Creations. |
