UEFA 2012. Balotelli memes

So of course I was one of the football fans who were watching UEFA 2012 and was thinking of making a nice post about the ads and commercials, because people were working hard on making this event well communicated. But once I saw another photoshoped Balotelli picture, I decided that I need to focus on this attention freak who became the most popular player among the meme lovers.

So, here are some of the best:

Galleries. Extended.

Needed to make this short post since I have found more of what I was looking for the other day when writing about the pictures and drawing on the bathroom walls. Apparently I'm not the only one interested in that kind of decoration. So here are some more variations of that. And one to go. Have fun making your own wall galleries:)

After some time. Discoveries pt. 2

OK, not going to say how ashamed I am for leaving this blog without any posts, but from now on, one post per week is a promise! I have graduated eventually and will have some time for quality blogging and enjoining the summer with some street art projects hopefully. Will show everything here:) But for now, some sharing is caring time with new discoveries.

For a start, I would like to share works of two artists. I discovered Alexandra Valenti 3 weeks ago. To be precise, I saw one particular picture and it touched me.

After some time. Discoveries. pt. 1

I know I haven't done much around here for quite some time (busy busy with studies and real projects), but tht doesn't mean I wasn't looking around searching for inspirational arty things. To catch up I will post all my discoveries (well, most of them, it's impossible to show everything beautiful I saw during these days).

By the way, to track me quicker, just follow me on Pinterest (there's a follow button on the up- right side too). I've started using it more few days ago. Bit afraid of possible problems because of Terms and Conditions that even The Window Seat wrote about, but will try my luck :)

So, for a start stop motion animation by Alexandre Dubosc. When you are thinking about upcoming birthday, makes you smile even more.

DIY: Fabric bracelets

Bracelets are one of my favorite accessory. They are simple, usually harder to loose than necklaces or ear-rings, can be very different and both stylish and not too fancy. It's even better, when you can make them by your self. And even more better, when you can call it a upcycling project!

Yet another paper magic...

Ok, so as always, during my daily check of favorites, I've discovered another amazing artist, who is making mechanical paper projects. His name is Rob Ives. He is a former primary school match and science teacher, self taught in mechanical from UK.

Breathing Bags (One Hundred and Eight Installation)

A simple, moving, hypnotizing installation by Nils Voelker.

I wonder if anybody has made lungs, working this way? Maybe I should try it.

For me not to forget..

Catch Kony 2012

One of the greatest things about social medias is the possibility to spread the information and raise the awareness of things happening in the world. This is one of the examples:

As a permaculture/green living fan, I couldn't ignore Networx post about composting things. Since it is not a hobby for only extreme gardeners, but also a great way to cut back landfill supplies and improve the ground of plants at home, everyone could start composting the following 81 crazy pieces of waste:
1. Dryer lint
2. “Dust bunnies”
3. The insides of a vacuum bag (just empty the bag into the compost bin)
4. The contents of your dustpan (just use discretion)
5. Coffee grounds
6. Coffee filters
7. Tea bags/loose leaf tea
9. Soy/rice/almond/etc milk
9. Nut shells (but not walnut, which may be toxic to plants)
