These new LEGO sets allow you to channel your inner artist

This portrait of Marilyn Monroe is made up of over 3,000 tiny LEGO pieces and is part of a new line of building kits geared towards adults. It sells for $120 (about PHP 6,000) and is due to debut in stores outside the U.S. next month.

Aside from Andy Warhol's Marilyn, other LEGO Art sets revealed include Iron Man, The Beatles, and iconic villains from Star Wars. One cool thing about these kits is that each comes with its own unique soundtrack for you to listen to while you're putting your wall worthy mosaic poster together. You can read more about them by visiting LEGO.com.

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.
