0 MINI BIKES AND CARS MADE OUT OF OLD WATCH PARTS
Some of us go through watches a great deal an once they no longer work, we would toss them aside and never giving it another thought that they could be reused again. Not Dmitriy Khristenko, a Ukranian-born American artist who has some amazing talent! From flea markets to waste baskets, he finds these old watches everywhere and then dismantles them and put them back together in a whole other unexpected way! Check out these models of cars and bikes he made from old watches!

0 THE MINIATURE PAINTINGS BY Turkish Artist, Hasan Kale
Meet Hasan Kale, the artist from Istanbul who paints on things so small an unimaginable it will leave you in awe. No canvas is too tiny or weird for him to paint on. Take for example peanuts in a shell. He doesn't just paint on the shell but rather on the peanut itself! Half a peanut at that! He'll paint a drawing not on the entire shell but a sliver of the shell.
He purposely chooses difficult objects and how small they are or how well they absorb paint is not as important to him. What is important to him, is how they come to life and bring joy to people....

0 THE EDIBLE BEYONCE OREO POP-TRAIT (made from 3780 pops)
Another yummy and most definitely edible creation by the one and only MICHELLE WIBOWO...
The scrumptious five foot by eight foot portrait was made entirely of Oreo pops - crushed Oreo biscuits mixed with Philadelphia cream cheese – each pop was handmade in different consistencies to create 2244 dark pops and 1536 lighter pops; an impressive 3780 pops in total! The full creation required eight hours of careful construction on the day and more than six weeks planning.

Food artist Michelle said: “When I was asked to create a pop icon portrait using just Oreo pops, new mum and superstar Beyoncé seemed the natural choice.
It took a long time to map the exact position for each pop and create a recognisable likeness, but the hardest part of the process was trying not to eat it!

Former Atomic Kitten pop star, Jenny Frost and her son Caspar had fun helping to create the tasty A-list likeness as part of a campaign to inspire families to have more fun in the kitchen together.

0 WOODEN SCULPTORS BY TOM ECKERT
Tom Eckert creates everything out of wood and we mean EVERYTHING. His sculptures are formed entirely of wood and then painted. He uses traditional processes to carve, construct, laminate and paint his pieces. The woods he prefers working with are basswood, linden and limewood (all very similar) chosen because they carve and paint well and are very stable.
Coming from a painting and drawing background, he applys some of these techniques to his sculptures. His choice of paint is mostly waterborne lacquer applied using both spray guns and brushes.
Forms carved to suggest cloth recur in many of his pieces. As he explains on his site: By tradition, cloth has been widely used to conceal and shroud objects in practices ranging from advertising to church rituals. Covered forms are often more evocative - with a sense of mystery absent from the uncovered object by itself. As he recalls: "I remember in church one Lent, as a child, being mystified while gazing at the statues shrouded with purple cloth."
He further goes on to say: “Cloth” carved of wood has much different structural qualities than real cloth. When this idea is applied to my compositions (floating book, floating cards, floating rock) a sense of the impossible happens - for me, magic.
