These life-like wildlife sculptures are actually made with tire treads

Blake McFarland takes discarded and strange objects and turn them into remarkable works of art. His creations of a deer, a tiger, a panda, a lion, and many others seem almost life-like.

Imagination has no limits. And when it is combined with a little creativity, it can turn anything into a masterpiece. Here are a few more samples of his work from his Facebook page:

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.
