Solar-Powered Night Garden in Jerusalem My favorite part of Disneyland was always the Main Street Electrical Parade. It seems gluttonous now: a procession of mechanized floats, covered in rainbow light bulbs, all buzzing and twinkling to the tune of music. Fortunately, O*GE Architects and Interactive Gallery have sated my light-show fix with a solar-powered, LED-licious Night Garden. The installation was part of the recent Light in Jerusalem Festival and dazzled visitors to the Gan Habonim (Jerusalem Citadel) with giant neon-colored, luminescent flowers whose petals opened and closed throughout the night. The Night Garden, created with the Israel Electric Corporation, consisted of lotus blossoms, tulips and “dewdrop flowers” made of steel, metal mesh and Hebron glass. Says O*GE, ” Our aim for this installation was to demonstrate that by using alternative energy and technology, not only are we safeguarding our environment, but, we are also creating a poetic, magical experience.” + O*GE Gallery + O*GE Architects

How to draw guide - learn how to draw A little nouveau » Art I came accross these watch sculptures by Dominic Wilcox today, and I think they’re pretty much the most brilliant things ever made: “Adventures of a young vegetarian OR Pigs shall fly. “A small girl attempts to stop a butcher chopping up a pig by hanging on his arm while the pig floats away”. “The numbers and hands of a watch are swept away by a watch sweeper.” “A man so engrossed in his iPhone that he fails to notice a monkey balanced on the head of a weightlifting boy standing on the arm of an elderly rollerskater.”

With the water based inks, particularly, which dry so quickly, it's easy then to go back and carve out a little more of the block where you want more white to show through. It's a good idea to annotate your first print with the changes you want to make, rather than just trying to remember. It forces you to be a little more diligent about working through problems. That's it, really. Good luck with your project(s).
How To Make Candy Cane Candlesticks A bunch of you have asked for the how to on the candy cane candle holders, I am so glad you liked them! You never know if you are the only one that thinks something is cute, you know? They are super easy to make. We’re talking fifteen minutes for two. They are super inexpensive too, costing about $1.50 each. Supplies to make two: 20 candy canes2 taper candleshot glue gunscissors I started by cutting off the plastic wrapper on just the two ends of the candy cane, leaving the remaining wrapper in tact. Next I took the wrapper off, leaving about six inches on the bottom. Then run a thin strip of glue along the candy cane and press onto the candle, with the hook on the bottom. Continue gluing the canes on, trying to keep the same angle of placement, and the base of the hooks at the same level. I do think they look cutest with a little bow tied on, but I only had enough ribbon to squeak out one bow, yet another trip to the craft store…dang it. So there you have it!
