It's fall in Japan. And like every fall, rice is harvested, leaving behind straw to be hung and dried. In some rural areas, though, the rice straw has a special use: Making giant beasts.
The Spacecraft is a cabin, a flying vehicle appropriating the horizon. Hidden in a castle, the Malbrouck Manderen, left empty because its occupant went to war - mironton mirontaine - the rocket is ready to fly to reach the moon as spacecraft renewed Jean on his star in the tale Tomi Ungerer. Cobbled wood against plywood, straps, ropes and mirrors this installation is child's dream of a promise.
Born in Tokyo, Dusseldorf-based artist Ramon Todo creates beautiful textural juxtapositions using layers of glass in unexpected places. Starting with various stones, volcanic rock, fragments of the Berlin wall, and even books, the artist inserts perfectly cut glass fragments that seem to slice through the object resulting in segments of translucence where you would least expect it. You can see more of his work over on Art Front Gallery
To commemorate the centennial of Britain’s involvement in the First World War, ceramic artist Paul Cummins and stage designer Tom Piper conceived of a staggering installation of ceramic poppies planted in the famous dry moat around the Tower of London. Titled “Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red,” the final work will consist of 888,246 red ceramic flowers—each representing a British or Colonial military fatality—that flow through grounds around the tower.
Volunteers began placing the poppies several weeks ago and the process will continue through the summer until a final flower is symbolically planted on November 11th. You can read more about the project over on the Historic Royal Palaces website, and see the volunteers’ progress by following the #TowerPoppies hashtag on Twitter.
Turkish sculptor Selçuk Yılmaz just completed work on three new mask-like sculptures depicting the heads of a lynx, tiger, and fox. Yılmaz uses thin strands of hammered and welded steel that give each piece a beautiful curved musculature.

anyway, it's an excavator made from wood and syringes.
The fowl looks slightly disturbing - in a 'toys' coming to life in a horror movie kind of way! It's the eyes and tilt of the head!
