Voted “The Most Brilliant Artist of the Netherlands” in 2009, Dutch artist Diet Wiegman is a master of his craft. But of all the amazing creations he has to his name, his work with light and shadow is most breathtaking. Using garbage, pieces of glass and other rubble, he creates a sculpture that, with the help of a light source, projects a beautiful image onto a wall.
You can stare at the photos for a very long time (trust us, we have) and it still won’t make sense that a carefully arranged pile of recycled items can produce Michelangelo’s David. Or that a pile of broken glass and a few other items can somehow produce a beautiful image of a sunset.
my sister just tried to ask me if i wanted to go to bed but instead it came out “Do you need to use the sleep?"
and then she just kinda looked really horrified at herself and whispered
"Maybe i need to use the sleep"
Buttercup The Duck Gets New 3D Printed Foot - Huffington Post
A duck with a backward foot is getting a second chance, thanks to 3D printing technology.
Buttercup, born last year in a high school biology lab, has been unable to walk properly after his deformed foot only partially developed. He was just "hobbling around on it," according to the Feathered Angels Waterfowl Sanctuary.
The Tennessee-based group's owner, Mike Garey, told CNET, "With his deformed foot, he would have been in pain and had constant cuts and foot infections walking on the side of it even at our sanctuary here."
After the foot was amputated, a 3D printing company donated its services to aid in Buttercup's recovery. Photos of Buttercup's sister's foot were used to 3D print a mold, which will be used to cast a silicone prosthesis, explains CNET.
Feathered Angels received the materials needed to mold the duck's foot and the sock to hold it in place on Thursday, according to Buttercup's Facebook page.
Check out more photos of Buttercup below, and follow his progress here.
