I get building things from LEGO and I can even enjoy the occasional matchstick or toothpick sculpture but at some point I draw the line between really cool and really creepy, even if it is kinda cool.

This story falls right into the creepy area. I mean what would possess a person to make anything out of hair, let alone a castle, or in this case plural – castles.

It seems however that Augustina Woodgate isn’t creeped out by the idea and made over 3,000 bricks out of human hair and then used them to create two castle sculptures with them, of which one reaches about four and a half feet off the ground.

Uhm .. no.

We’ve highlighted some pretty cool sand sculptures in the past here at The Inquisitr so I felt that since it was winter time that we share some love with some pretty incredible snow sculptures. Of course these aren’t the typical type of thing you’ll see popping up in lawns around your neighborhood but rather the contestants in contests from around the world.

Never mind those old school sand sculptures, now it’s all about snow is a post from: The Inquisitr

As a kid I loved playing in the sandpile that sat at the front of our house right beside the rhubarb patch. My Matchbox cars and trucks traveled many a sandy mile there but never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that you could build the kind of sculptures you see here.

The patience and skill it much take to be able to create such beautiful works of art out of something like sand constantly amazes me.

As a kid growing up I played with Lego blocks but the idea of creating anything beyond a block house and a wall was … well .. beyond even my active imagination. So when I see works like this I am amazed at the ability to take something as simple as a Lego block and literally create works of art.

Awesome stuff.

Saving for the last is what I consider to be the best of all and that is Sean Kenney’s Lego-based rendition of the most famous landmark in the world – Times Square. It took two months and 20,000 Lego pieces to complete.

6 Awesome “I bet you didn’t think you could do that with Lego” is a post from: The Inquisitr

Art comes in all shapes and forms. However the idea that one would use bread dough as the basis for face-like loaves of bread to sell in the family bakery isn’t probably one of the forms most people would think of.

That apparently hasn’t stopped artis Kittiwat Unarrom who in order to attract more business for his father’s bakery in Ratchaburi Thailand put his artistic skills to an interesting use. Putting together materials like bread dough, cashews, raisins and other items you might find in a bakery Unarrom creates realitically looking heads and other body parts.

These are then wrapped in either plastic and placed on the shelves in the store or hung from meat hooks.
