Helene Meldahl combines mirror selfies with her love of art


A few days ago my good friend Kim alerted me to this adorable artist on Instagram. I must've been living under a rock because I wasn't aware of her work. Well, better late than never.

Most girls are addicted to taking selfies, and Helene Meldahl is no exception. However, the 27-year-old Norwegian artist has taken the game to a whole new level. Her self-portraits are fresh, quirky, creative and they remind us all to have a little fun.

For more than two years, Helene (aka @mirrorsme) has been filling her IG account with unique mirror doodles. Using chalk, markers, and a little imagination, she creates delightful environments before snapping away. Initially drawing on mirrors with her lipstick to leave cute messages for her roommate, the drawings evolved from small to elaborate illustrations. Check out some of her clever selfies below.

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.

Check out this insane music box powered by 2,000 marbles

The brainchild of Swedish musician Martin Molin, the Wintergartan Marble Machine , is a bizarre music box that allows the user to play tunes using a hand crank and 2,000 steel marbles. The Rube Goldberg'esque contraption features a vibraphone, bass, drums, cymbals and other instruments that play a score programmed into a 32 bar loop comprised of LEGO Technic parts. It's mesmerizing, and you can watch how they built it over here . [h/t: MailOnline ]
