]]>Kosko has been passionate about Stanely cups ever since she got one a couple of years ago. She has built up a sizeable collection but also used them as a creative outlet. Kosko is transforming Stanley cups into works of art by using rhinestones.
It all began when Kosko wanted to surprise one of her friends with a unique gift. She decided to take a Stanley cup and gave it a rhinestone transformation. Her friend was thrilled with the gift, and Kosko fell in love with this unusual project.
Since then, Kosko has been decorating Stanley cups and posting the results on TikTok. This brought her a significant following on social media while also prompting other TikTokers to reach out and say they want to own one.

]]>“I’m still shaking looking at this,” Chia wrote in a reel posted on Instagram, which features a photo taken in October 2012. At the front is Chia, sitting at a theater cafe, and in the back is her husband, Jon, waiting in a queue to get his ticket.
“We were at the same place but didn’t know each other existed,” Chia added before showing a brief timeline of her and Jon’s relationship.
As it turns out, the two officially met two years after the photo was taken and got married nine years later.
“We met at the right time,” Chia wrote in the caption of the video. “If it was before, I don’t think the relationship would have lasted.”
Since being shared in late 2023, Chia’s post has been capturing the attention of social media users. It received more than 460K likes, with Instagram users being blown away by the story. Some called it a perfect example of “invisible string theory,” while others simply called it “amazing” and said it was “meant to be”.

]]>Marinchuk shows her work on Instagram under the brand Marlitoys, and over 60,000 people follow her work there. She sells her dolls on Etsy, and besides her original designs, you can request a custom order or message her for collaborations.
Among her whimsical creations are many trendy and seasonal characters, such as the ones inspired by Christmas, popular shows like Squid Game, and much more. But our favorites are all the lovely animals she makes with a lot of love. They look like they could be cartoon characters and as such are an amazing gift for any kid (or adult who’s still a kid inside).
Her message on her Etsy profile reads like this: “Hello to all! My name is Lidiya. I live and create my MarLi toys in Ukraine since 2012. I want to make the world more colorful, to give people [a] good mood and a bit of magic. My creations are for people from 0 to 100 years.”
Check out some of her recent pieces below.

]]>Ascencio’s Instagram profile is full of cloud photos that have been reimagined as animals. She uses the shape of the cloud as a starting point before adding her creativity to the mix to make captivating scenes of flying dogs, elephants holding balloons, and bears chilling in a swim ring.
What makes Ascencio’s works fascinating is the fact that she usually creates them on her smartphone. When she spots a cloud that reminds her of an animal, she takes a photo and immediately starts drawing on it using a drawing app.
According to Ascencio, clouds have been capturing her imagination since she was a child, and she has always liked to imagine different animals that correspond to their shapes. Nowadays, gazing into the sky not only provides her inspiration for cool illustrations but also serves as a relaxing activity.
“It’s a good way to disconnect from today’s fast-paced life, and enjoy simple and beautiful things like looking up at the sky and seeing there’s a whole universe waiting to be discovered,” Ascencio shared in a recent interview with Bored Panda.

]]>“In both fields I am working with a client who wants something very specific, and I need to be able to take their ideas and improve on them in a way that both fulfills their requirements and my own artistic vision,” Wiedemann shared in an interview with Female Tattooers. “Usually, the most difficult part of my job in both fields is frequently being asked to draw something that has been done countless times over and try to make it unique.”
Inspiration for both practices comes from anatomical museums around the world. Wiedemann admits she was especially drawn to the centuries-old wooden cabinets that hold life-sized wax anatomical models in La Specola in Florence, Italy.
Her work, whether on paper or skin, has a gothic edge to it, which is well intended. The overall aesthetic might appeal to illustration lovers and emo kids alike. The main themes include insects, skulls, the human body, and mythical beings.
“I am fortunate enough to have two careers that I love, which have ultimately merged together,” says Wiedemann. “I can use tattooing as the medium for my love of scientific imagery. It is such an honor—not only to be taught how to tattoo—but also having the trust of my clients who will wear my art on their bodies for the rest of their lives.”

]]>Getting Dressed in… is a series of YouTube videos that aim to “bring alive history through beautifully-crafted videos using historically accurate period costume and locations.” Each video is dedicated to a particular era, like Renaissance Florence, Roman Britain, or the 14th century, and takes a detailed look at how people dressed back then.
The actors in the video are shown putting on authentic costumes that correspond to the topic of the video while the narrator tells the viewer more details about the things they see on their screens. This includes a historic background of the period, the reasoning behind particular items of clothing, and some fun facts.
Crow’s Eye Productions was established by filmmaker Nicole Loven in 2005. Nicole is responsible for filming and directing the videos while her mother, Pauline, a period costumier, and costume historian, researches and produces the videos.
Getting Dressed in… series currently has 36 videos. Here are a few of them.

]]>According to the artist, these unique works have been partially inspired by the time he spent in Rome, Italy. Seeing the works of some of the best sculptors of all time in person, Smith decided to turn them into something new but still familiar.
“I feel like so many of my ideas start out as jokes, for better or worse,” he once explained his creative process.
The process of making the sculptures for “Crush,” which is comprised of six pieces, including compressed versions of Bernini’s “David” and “Apollo of Belvedere” by Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli, was long and complicated. It included making a detailed 3D model of the sculpture and then compressing it into a cube. The compressed version would then come to life after being carved into cubic meter-sized marble cubes.
Smith relied on a big team to achieve his vision, including a group of carvers, digital researchers from various museums, and a seven-axis reductive robot.
The completed sculptures are currently on public display at The Hole gallery in New York City. You can also check them out on Smith’s official Instagram or by scrolling down.

]]>The post These Unusual Artworks Feature Dry Flowers appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>This time around, we will focus on Knitter’s artworks that feature dry flowers as their main component. These beautiful compositions bring together vintage elements with contemporary art and serve as a unique form of expression.
The process begins with Knitter carefully picking dried petals, leaves, stems, or sometimes entire flowers from her collection. She then arranges the items on a canvas, laying the foundation of the piece.
After the flowers are put in place, Knitter then adds other elements of the artwork like color and paper cutouts to achieve her artistic vision. The piece is then placed into a vintage frame and ready to be displayed and cherished.
According to Knitter, her artistic works are influenced by her surroundings. On one side, there is Germany’s “urban culture of the concrete area,” in which she was raised, while on the other is “kitsch and nature of Poland,” her native country.
Knitter has exhibited her works on multiple occasions all around Germany. She is also on Instagram and has an Etsy shop where people can buy her art. Check out more of it below.

]]>
paper design (@christinepaperdesign)Christine Ciovarta’s paper flowers aren’t just simple additions. They’re an expression of art, creativity, and colors. A fashion designer and painter, Ciovarta decided to study the art of paper flowers after coming across a picture of a paper flower online in 2012. “I was fascinated about the idea and had the instant thought that I can make paper flowers,” she explains on her website.
A self-taught paper artist, she learned the techniques of making paper flowers by herself, and after a few years of learning and practice decided to quit her job and take a leap of faith. Her paper blooms are a way of expressing her talent, craftsmanship, and the techniques she developed over the years, with the finished product flowers look very lifelike. Her products also include bridal headpieces that are a perfect addition to a romantic/bohemian wedding.
“With every flower I make I try to capture the realistic look as good as I can,” says Ciovarta, “my customers are always telling me stories how people always mistake my flowers with real ones, which gives me so much pride and joy.”
Naturally, her working process begins outdoors: researching real flowers. “I study many images with them, I make sketches, mood boards and think of ways to reproduce and practice them,” explains Ciovarta. “After these steps are ready I make all the flowers, greenery, buds, and other elements necessary for my bouquet.”
Made from crepe paper which is painted and laminated, her flowers are meant to last forever. “I feel so grateful that I can make something beautiful with my own two hands,” says Ciovarta.

Young Adventuress (@youngadventuress)In fact, she even has a blog post, scratch that—a manifesto—about it. “Without sounding incredibly cheesy, I think my happiest moments are when I get emails and messages from readers asking advice about traveling the world, alone, female or otherwise,” says Carlson.
The first thing you should take in mind is that it’s not half as scary as you might think. “For the number of times I legitimately felt in danger, I can give you 1000 examples of beautiful, friendly, and unique moments that surprised me to no end while traveling,” she writes.
