City Built Using 100,000 Staples

"Most people look at a staple and see something used to secure a bunch of papers together, but as anyone who is familiar with this site knows, artists tend to see things a bit differently. Using 100,000 staples artist Peter Root has constructed a miniature metropolis featuring 4-inch-tall skyscrapers, 1-staple-tall low-rise buildings, and everything in between. Built on the the floor of a bank atrium in Guernsey, Channel islands, the staple city is called ”Ephemicropolis” and took Peter 40 hours to construct."

Wicked pencil sculptures

The Colombian artist Federico Uribe is very known for his love and need to express pop art by using materials that we use in our everyday life. These sculptures are as said only made by using a bunch of color pencils, and small plastic fasteners to keep it all in place. Even though the material is something as simple as pencils, he still pulls it off and makes it look even more awesome than expected.
