Saw Art by Cindy Chinn

I get all giddy when I come across cool things that are made from metal. Sculptures, toys, installations, decorations, anything with metal as the building material will get my attention. Found on DudeIWantThat, these unique hand saws were carved by Nebraska-based artist Cindy Chinn using a plasma torch.

The only thing is that prices start at $125. Now I'm no professional welder, and I practically have zero artistic talent, but I'm pretty sure I could make one just as good and for cheaper during my prolonged stint of unemployment. Kidding aside, Cindy also also paints, blows glass, and creates remarkable wooden sculptures. Be sure to watch the video below to get an overview of what she does.

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.
