		<description><![CDATA[Some of these statues are very strange indeed. Some aren&#8217;t exactly statues- like the Mini parked up the wall but they are all all a bit odd. The rhino hanging in mid air is my favourite, followed closely by the women swinging the kid. Link Republished by Blog Post Promoter]]></description>

Though deep in my heart I know I can&#8217;t and never will. A point in question, this photograph and many others (Link goes via Google.com translation as original [...]]]></description>

There are 35 wildly differing and you could turn a cellar door into a balcony, view into a village. I think they&#8217;re really ingenious. Link Republished [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s strange, when you think of art rendered in Lego, sculpting would be the first thing on your mind not painting. These works by Italian artist Marco (from Turin) in Lego are very good, especially given the limitations of the medium- ie mainly primary colours and chunky.

By now of course we should all have flying cars and video phones and live in peace and harmony. TV programmes like Tomorrows World from the 1970s envisaged us living in a plastic furnished world, usually [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I bought a clock made from watch parts once, when I stayed in the Anjoa hotel in Leeds in 1991. The watch parts were arranged around the actual clock face i.e. decorative not functional. I think it cost me £35. The owner was selling them. These 16 motorbike models are also made from watch parts. [...]]]></description>
