Artist Sonia Rentsch has created in her Harm Less series, weapons made of plants. They were created to defuse the power of modern weaponry by constructing guns, grenades and bullets completely from organic objects. The shape and form of each piece are really convincing, yet I also enjoy the obviousness of each plant chosen to resemble various gun parts. Check out more of Sonia work on her site.

I found this to be an interesting way to label and design your alcoholic beverages. Over the last decades innumerable flawless ideas and unique solutions have emerged for the packaging of alcoholic beverages and for the label's graphical design. In this project the designers of the Remember the Lion brand therefore included a new idea in this field, using a material which has undiminished popularity since the Bauhaus - concrete. In the execution of the product the designers with the help of technical experts have developed a manufacturing process, which can be effectively integrated in the bottle's labeling procedure. You can check back on the website to get more information on the process.

Anatomy Illustrated is a book designed to showcase the master illustrators of the 16-19th centuries. The book was a created by Melbourne-based designer Josip Kelava. The book focuses on the illustrator William Cheseldon, who was an English surgeon and teacher of anatomy, and who was influential in establishing surgery as a scientific medical profession. His works, along with many other illustrators, have been redesigned to a modern style, incorporating typography as a sense of interaction with the illustrations.

Designer Basten Leijh created the custom build bike dubbed "Sandwich Bike". A Dutch Design original that was inspired by the concept of flat packing, home assembly and our never-ending drive to create exceptional products. Now it is time to share it with the world, so that you can get involved too.

The Sandwichbike fits in a small, flat package, so we can send it to you by post. The fun will begin the moment the postman rings your doorbell. Everything you need is in the box including the tools, so you can start assembling right away. In total, there are less than 50 parts. If you can make a sandwich, you can surely build a Sandwichbike.

Brandon Todd Wilson is the creator behind The Numbers Project where he will make a new number everyday for 2013. Here is a little bit on what he said about the project:

"So it only took me 100 days to do, ha but the numbers project has its own little micro-site so that its easier to check them all out. Really as a way to make sure i'm not doing something I've already done. I also made it mobile friendly thanks to bootstrap so that's cool i think, so here is the numbers project’s new home."

Below are a few of the ones that caught my eye, although there are a whole bunch more.  Check out more of Brandon's work here.
