Crayon sculptures carved by Hoang Tran


California-based artist Hoang Tran takes regular Crayola crayons and creates detailed pop-culture sculptures. Stormtroopers, cartoon characters and even The Dude and Walter from The Big Lebowski have all been carved in wax. Drawing inspiration from artist Diem Chau, the former trainee dentist chisels the basic shape and then applies extra details by adding droplets of melted wax from other crayons.





Check out all the goodness on Tran's Facebook page. Some of his pieces occasionally end up in his shop.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her.  Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
