I reaaaaaaaaaaally like this outdoor media advert by Koleston.  It’s edgy, innovative and immediately catches the attention of anyone looking at it.  I saw this randomly on WeHeartIt.com and had to share it with you all.  I’m not sure which part of the world this advert was done or where you could even find this hoarding .. but it’s pretty damn cool !

Have you come across any cool adverts that have really made you sit back and go ‘wow’ ?  What advert was it and where did you see it ?

Happy #WW and don’t forget to share your linky !

biology meets art crafty hedgehog etsy creative designs knitted dissections life like pop art

I came across this blog post ‘Dissected Frogs Never Looked So Cute’ by Diana Adams, CEO of Adams Consulting Group on BitRebels.com ... and it wasn’t quite the post I expected ! (then again I suppose that’s what makes people read a post huh)

How many of you had to perform a dissection in Biology class ? What did you have to dissect ? And would you ever want to experience THAT again ?  I had to dissect a goat’s heart and a rat – and I would NEVER want to even look at something like that again !!! I would try to make any excuse to get out of Biology dissection classes !

Somewhere out on Etsy – a company, CraftyHedgehog dissects frogs, rats, bunnies and alligators … all through the art of knitting !!  Yup – you read that correctly – dissection by knitting !  If you buy one of these knitted dissections – it comes pinned down in a pan just like you in Biology class ! 

I suppose these are meant to be taken with a pinch of salt and meant to be funky & creative … but it doesn’t really catch my fancy … and frankly it kinda creeps me out … I guess I’m just not that creative … but I can see why it might appeal to all the knit-fans out there … it’s got more appeal than just a yarn of string ! 

On a more positive side – if teachers started using something like this during Biology class – it could prove useful – particularly for those students who can’t stomach actually dissecting an animal (like me !) … what do you think ?

What about you ? Does this kind of art appeal to you ? Would you gift this to someone ? or just buy it for fun ? Do you think it could be used in schools as a teaching aid ?
