Shoes are like friends....

Internet must be the best invention ever! Because of it, we stumbled upon an absolutely cool collection of unusual but creatively made heels by Kobi Levi. And they made us happy. Gave us shoe-garsms enough to want ownership of not just a few but all of them.

It seems everyone has something to say about shoes: From "Cinderella is proof that a pair of shoes can change your life" to "Shoes are the quickest way for women to achieve instant metamorphosis" to "The stiletto is a feminine weapon that men don't have." So, let's wait and hear what you have to say about these: 

The Blonde Ambition

The Slide

The Banana Slip-on

The Toucan

Coffee

The Sling-shot

Mother and Daughter

The Market Trolley 

The Chewing Gum

The Mallard Duck

The Swan

And finally.... The Dog

 

There you are. Feel free to have your say :) And remember: 

A man cannot make a pair of shoes rightly unless he do it in a devout manner - Thomas Carlyle

Spiral Pen Portraits

It’s always nice to see an artist’s unique talents showcased. Germany-based artist Chan Hwee Chong is definitely one h*** of a talented artist, and his incredible spiral portraits were the subject of a recent commercial for Faber Castell art pens.

In the commercial, Chong is shown creating an incredible spiral drawing of the masterpiece painting Girl With a Pearl Earring (below). It is meant to display how precise the Faber Castell pens are, and also to illustrate Chong’s remarkable skill.

Beginning with a blank sheet of paper, Chong begins in the middle and draws in an ever-growing spiral, adding detail and subtle movements as he goes. By the time he has reached the outer edges, he has somehow recreated a famous painting.

Below is the video of Chong doing his thing :-) Feel free to watch it as many times as you like – you will almost certainly be amazed each and every time. This awesome display of talent is kind of humbling, even to other creative types

Squirrel

There was a young man from Wirral, who had trained a bucket of squirrels;

With tails like whisps, they'd steal peoples crisps....

but only if they were Urban Bites!

 

Spotted_dog

There was a Young Lady of Ryde, whose shoe-strings were seldom untied;

She purchased some clogs, and small spotted dogs....

And frequently walked about Ryde.

 

Ratty

There was an Old Man who supposed, that the street door was partially closed;

But some very large rats, ate his coats and his hats....

While that futile old gentleman dozed.


Shoe_eating

There was an old man from Peru, who dreamed he was eating his shoe;

He awoke in the night, with a dreadful fright...

And found out that it was quite true.

 

Boat

There was an Old Man in a boat, who said, 'I'm afloat, I'm afloat!'

When they said, 'No! you ain't!', he was ready to faint....

That unhappy Old Man in a boat.

 

Old_man_with_the_beard

There was an old man with a beard, who said, 'It is just as I feared! ..

Two owls and a hen, four larks and a wren....

All built their nests in my beard! "

 

Anyone come up with more limericks to make our evening? We'd love to read from you :-) :-)
