Kathy Boortz's playful sculptures of birds made of old pliers


Love birds? So does Texas-based artist Kathy Boortz, who creates colorful sculptures of owls, parrots and other avian creatures using wood, clay and metal. I love them all, but I have a special liking for her sculptures made out of found pliers. Notice the starling below. Love its beak and claws.

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.
