But however coldly it is called, it is said to be the closest you could ever get to satisfying a desire of  floating on a puffy white cloud.

We can demonstrate the pictures here (see down below), but apparently they are not even close to the effect the real physical installation could give you. So, if you’re ever in New York, drop in and let us know about your impressions.

A very emotional description is presented here by Suzanne Labarre from Co.Design. Check it out to get the feeling :)

Here he comes again, with the project called “Harmless Weapons”.

The collection was created for an article in CUT Magazine centered around the topic of ‘Guerrilla Gardening’ and ‘Yarn Bombing’.

Amazingly, he finishes a single work in as little time as 30 seconds. Amazingly, the size of the paintings is no more than a postcard.

The glass pavement built up so that it protrudes from the mountain for you could walk in the air at the height of almost 1,500 metres! You definitely should have no nerves to do this, but it must be really worth a try…

The walkway is poetically called the Walk of Faith, and it does require a lot of self-confidence and nerve to try out.

All this breathtaking experience can be takein in China – in Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park which is known for four wonders: the Tianmen Mountain Cableway, Tongtian Dadao (Avenue Leading to the Sky), Tianmen Cave, and Bonsai Garden on Air.

Now, the park has got another attraction for the bravest visitors. Dare try it? :)

If you’re going to shower, be a man about it. Introducing the only soap made with electrolytes, caffeine, and punching. Don’t waste your time with anything less.

This soap is modeled from original fight club props and artwork. I like :)

Or is it how much he thinks of his dad? :)

One full year of work, 210 hours of just stippling, and, surprisingly, just one pen – amazing work, there had to be at least two heroes to have this drawing made :)

Rather than the real wires, the artists have chosen to use computer graphics to create make up virtual “wires” and collect them into the portrait images.

The result is what you can see below, amazing, isn’t it? :)

However, it turns out to be a bigger-scaled project by the German designer Timm Schneider.

Check out some cute eyes you can find in the German streets:
