Erik Johansson

Swedish photo manipulator, Erik Johansson, has done some great photo manipulation work. In a Escher-esk style of illusion some of his works could be stared at all day others are just really clever. I would love to attempt some of them myself.








He's also done a few perspective illusions.

Mosaic and Recycled Garden Ideas

I love gardens that use old recycled things cleverly and interestingly. Old beds, tea pots, wheelbarrows, pianos, furniture, claw-foot bath, gardening tools, windows, bottles, pallets etc. All mixed in with some mosaic for colour. Although some things can look tacky, like TV's or other plastic stuff, wood, metal and glass gives it a rustic fun feel. I'd much rather that than a formal garden! More ideas at Recycled Gardening and Garden Art or my 'House and Garden' Pinterest board.

Recycled Pallet Ideas

Although pallet wood is pretty bad quality I can't help loving the amount of things you can do to recycle old pallets.

An air of Recycling in the studio has some great projects from pallets plus other recycled furniture designs.




And of course I still love the vertical pallet garden.

Paper

I love paper and silhouettes so Cut Out Paper combine the two for some awesome works..

I love the hands cut out.. Saturday mornings in the 80's is fun looking and finding different known characters. You could look forever.
