Stunning animal sculptures made from rice straw invade Japan

There's a lot of great artists out there that take ordinary things and make them extraordinary. One of them is Amy Goda. Visitors to the recent Straw Art Festival in Niigata Prefecture were left in awe by the Japanese artist's impressive dinosaur sculptures.

The giant creatures were crafted out of wooden frames and rice straw. Aside from dinosaurs, there are also other animals in a variety of styles, all of which are stunning. Visitors still hoping to catch a glimpse of the amazing sculptures can go to Uwasekigata Park, where they will remain until November.

Ah, Taal Lake. Admirable, breathtaking, a perfect postcard of tranquility. And then you remember. Oh right, there's a volcano inside the lake, inside an island, inside another body of water.

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.
