recycled wire jewelry
Artist Celina Ortiz and her husband from Orlando, creates eco-friendly “Tree of Life” pendants together with her husband under the name RecycledBeautifully. The couple scavenge TVs that people throw in the trash and pull copper or aluminum wire from them. Then they twist the wire into trees that wrap around various vibrant stones that range from conventional turquoise or agate to more psychedelic-looking opals and abalones.

bronze fountain sculpture
Malgorzata Chodakowska, a talented Polish sculptor, creates these beautiful fountain sculptures out of bronze where the water plays an essential part in the whole structure. Erupting from the statues in unlikely places, water creates a motion that gives Chodakowska’s sculptures a human-like presence and somehow feels sort of magical. It takes up to 2-6 months to complete a sculpture, depending on its complexity. Malgorzata, who’s been sculpting for 30 years already, told that 'the fountains spread the pure joy of life, combining the element of water with the raw material – bronze' . The creation of this stunning artwork starts by modelling it out of clay. Then to turn it into fountain, the sculptor pours these sculptures into bronze.

amazing Disney paintings by Thomas Kinkade
Thomas Kinkade was an American painter of popular realistic, pastoral, and idyllic subjects. Kinkade, known as the “Painter of Light,” famously depicted idyllic scenes of churches and cottages in soothing, almost dream-like pastels. Below, some of his artwork on Disney paintings. Looking at these magical Disney scenes it's hard to believe that these are actual paintings and not digital illustrations. Kinkade, who was the master of chiaroscuro, a painting technique using light and dark contrasts to create a sense of drama and the illusion of volume. That's why it looks as though your favorite childhood characters could come alive any second and step through the painting to greet you. The detail in each piece of artwork is amazing and the longer you look at it the more you'll find.
