Sean Avery has created these mixed media sculptures of animals and insects. To create these animals he uses layered fragments of broken CDs and it's like BAM! Magic, you have an animal or an insect sculpture. See more of his work over at DeviantArt.

Lindsey Bessanson an artist from Arizona has found a way to create robo-bugs and turn them into stiff endless time pieces.  She began her adventure of making these bugs back in 2003 and has continued to master this technique. To create these bug pieces, she takes dried, dead insects and puts them in a humidifier for a couple of days. With this, the legs and wings become flexible, allowing her to fan them out and position them according to her liking. Next, she is able to take the insect apart,  and then strengthen all the joints with metal and puts everything back together again. The completed insect is pinned to a piece of Styrofoam so it can harden into the desired position. It takes her about two weeks to complete an insect. I have put only a few of her pieces on TCL so go and check out more of her work. She does have prints available as well as the SteamPunk Insects

Where would you go if you could take your house with you? Ann Holley and Darren Macca have designed a home where they can take it wherever they want. This beautiful 125 sq ft ProtoHaus home was made out of wood and recycled materials.  It has a modern style kitchen, tiny bathroom, a small bedroom and a comfy place to lay their head. The home is also powered by solar energy and propane, so if they wanted to live off the grid they could. If you want to know more about the house watch the video below.

Martin Kilmas is the creator behind the "porcelain figurines" series. The images below were captured just as each of the fragile objects hit the ground after being dropped from about 10 feet. Martin was able to capture the photos by wiring his camera in such a way that the sound each figurine made as it hit the ground tripped the shutter release. What I find so interesting in these shots is that each figurine almost gives off a sense of motion or liveliness. He also does a similar series with vases.  You can check out more on his site.
