Slightly creepy art


These little tiny babies are made of polymer clay. The artist name is Camille Allen and her art has been the subject of a hoax. 

There is an email circulating claiming these are made of marzipan. The writer asks who could eat them? It was a good hoax because I fell for it. Then I looked a little further....

However, I have to say I do still find them a little creepy even if they aren't made of frosting.

A different sort of "public art"





I received an email with pictures of these cats stating that people have paid up to $15,000 to have their cats "painted". A quick check at snopes and this is indeed an urban legend. (These are photoshopped pictures of cats). However, I have to admit, that they are pretty nicely done and although they aren't "public" since they can't move around to be seen. I figured what the heck, they are still nice to look at. My favorites are the fish (very nice) and Charlie (clever)!
