Take on Me: Microsoft Excel Version

a-ha's Take on Me is one of the most beloved singles of the 1980s. The turbocharged synthpop ballad was released by the Norwegian trio more than 30 years ago, but it still slaps. Sure, the video made the song a hit, but the track also has a wickedly catchy riff and it still sounds fresh even in today's pop music standards.

Take on Me has been redone by a diverse array of artists, including Weezer, Sara Bareilles, and Aqualung. But I think this is more interesting.

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.
