  • They didn't really think the first concept through (in pic1). The pillars... It appears the train is completely attached around the rails. So how do they attach those pillars?

  • Would I ditch my car? Hell No.
    Read more

  • Yes, train on the 1st picture looks great! It's such an interesting idea! Though I also don't have idea how the train will be attached, I saw such pictures only in fantastic movies, but I believe this is possible.

  • I love the prerequisite condutor's hat on #1. Good observation about the suppports! However I suspect it is assymetric; have a look at any ski gondola/chair lift or aerial tramway.

  • Hmmm, I used to ride in a driverless bus that looked very much like the ULTra when I was commuting from Rotterdam to Cappelle a/d IJssel way back in 2000-2002...

  • Interesting post. I love that old 50's style rendering at the top.
    Read more

  • Would that be innovative enough?

    or is the condition, that it is too weird to be roadworthy...

  • How beautiful. I truly believe that these eggs surpass the glitz of the Faberge style - in part because of the translucent whiteness of the eggshell.
    Read more

  • I forgot to mention that this effect (though not in such delicate detail) can also be created using beeswax as a caustic (masking the areas you want to keep solid) and then leaving the egg in vinegar, which corrodes the shell. The shell becomes very then and you can essentially scrape it away with a finely pointed knife...

  • It's Beautiful!! It's impressive!!Great...A lot of time I dont see a work/art as beautiful as your Eggs!!! Sorry, my English it's bad because I'm Brasilian!! But your work is Great!!! Where are you from???
    Read more

  • Ligia,
    Glad you like it! We are based in Canada.

  • Absolutely exquisite. I'm Ukrainian on my mother's side. These works of art remind me of the painstaking traditional egg-decorating engaged in by that community. A fiddly business involving layers of color & melted beeswax to cover the areas one didn't wish to dye.

  • spectaculoase, pur si simplu mirifice, finetea taieturii te lasa fara cuvinte,sunt deosebit de incanta.Am incercat sa lurez si eu in coaja de ou, tentatia este foarte mare, insa nu se aseamana ouale mele nici pe departe cu cele prezentate.Felicitari si sa ne bucurati in continuare cu piese deosebite.

  • What kind of animal is that between the meerkat and the ermine?
    Read more

  • Looks like a wombat to me. Also, being rather pedantic, 'ermine' isn't a name of an animal. It's a word for the white winter coat of the stoat, a very mysterious and little understood animal indeed.

  • Its a tree kangaroo. They live in the forests of Australia and New Guinea, and they are soooo cute
    Read more

  • yeah that's a tree kangaroo alright. they're a kangaroo that...um, lives in trees. they're like a possum on steroids.

    and i don't mean an opossum, i mean a possum
