Florida Man Creates Giant Rubber Band Ball
10/30/09 - Amazing
“Look, over there. Under that blue tarp in a suburban driveway. That thing that’s the size of a Smart car? It’s Joel Waul’s rubber band ball. Waul has spent the last six years carefully wrapping and linking and stretching rubber bands of various sizes into the ball shape. The Guinness Book of World Records declared it the world’s largest rubber band ball in 2008. On Thursday, Waul said goodbye to his creation. A team from Ripley’s Believe it or Not came to his house with a crane and hauled the 6-foot, 7-inch tall, 9,032-pound behemoth away on a large, flatbed truck. “It’s a little bit sad to see it go, but it’s going to be appreciated by thousands and hopefully millions of people in Ripley’s museum to see and wonder, ‘What was this guy thinking?’ “Waul said. The ball will eventually be displayed in a far-off museum yet to be determined, so folks can marvel at Waul’s obsession.” w/ photos
Incredible 3-D Murals
10/30/09 - In The Name Of Art
“A British artist has mastered an ancient form of optical illusion to create these incredible 3D images inside people’s homes – giving every house a stunning ‘room with a view’. Talented Janet Shearer, 56, produces beautiful murals known as ‘trompe l’oeil’ – trick of the eye – to give the dullest of rooms a breathtaking vista. Each work is painstakingly created over weeks and sometimes months using tiny brushes to give the artificial view a startlingly realistic appearance. Janet’s murals includes stunning sea views, beautiful horizons, white sands, crashing waves, rolling countryside, city scapes, rooftops and sports matches. Her colourful work often contain Tuscan views, Roman empires and scenes of ancient lands as well as people and animals such as dogs and peacocks. Janet’s work is found across the world and graces the walls of restaurants, pubs, hotels, private houses, churches and even a cross channel ferry. Mother-of-two Janet, a former model and film set designer, charges around $5,000 for a 8ft by 5ft piece but says in can be cheaper – than redecorating. She said: ‘I use tiny, tiny, brushes, it’s incredibly meticulous. It is a visual joke but it’s only effective when it works.” w/ photos
