A sign made from colourful pegs
Fruit and veg as art - Nov 2015
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/rln4
An artist has created a series of quirky images using everyday objects.
In the photos an airplane made from carrots can be seen, along with an 'apple' watch, a panda made from rice and a dog made from eggs.
Domenic Bahmann is a multidisciplinary visual artist and designer living in Australia.
For Domenic, discovering new things (whether they are silly, funny, clever or ridiculous), is what makes life so exciting.
Domenic said: "Making use of everyday objects in my creations taught me to look at things differently.
"There is something magic in transforming seemingly mundane everyday objects into something new. It has improved my ability to day-dream and it is a skill everyone can try to practice."

A town has mastered the art of flower arranging with these jaw-dropping floats made from blooms.
Zundert, a small town in the Netherlands located at the Belgian border, hosts the world's biggest annual flower parade.
Hamlets within the 21,000 population town, the birthplace of Vincent Van Gogh, compete for the best entry. Winning first place is a source of local pride for the next year.
The jaw-dropping floats on show on Sunday (7 Sep) included a bizarre guitar-like instrument (Plucking), four giant waiters (Haute Cuisine) and a naughty depiction of a couple being passionate (Censor).
First prize went to Horsepower by the Klein-Zundertse Heikant hamlet, a fearsome depiction of a skinless horse, complete with animated flaring nostrils and biceps that really bulged.

Postmen to be issued with 'Posting Pegs' to avoid getting their fingers bitten by dogs, Britain - 17 Sep 2011

'Posting Pegs' To Foil Dogs With A Taste For Postmen
Postmen are to be issued with a new gadget that aims to prevent their fingers being bitten by overeager dogs.
'Posting Pegs' are 8in long, flat plastic tweezers that allow postmen to keep their fingers well out of the way when posting a letter.
They simply insert the letter into the peg before pushing it through the letterbox.
A simple twist of the stick then allows the letter to be dropped, with the postman never having to expose their fingers to potential attack.
It is hoped that arming Britain's 70,000 postmen and women with the implements will reduce the 5,000 dog attacks they suffer each year.
The Royal Mail has now started offering the pegs to all of its staff and they are provided upon request.
However, according to Dave Joyce, national health and safety officer for the Communications Workers' Union (CWU), many Royal mail employees are not even aware of the existence of the pegs.
He is calling for a campaign to make postmen and women more aware of the devices, as well as calling on households with aggressive dogs to fit letterbox cages.

Artist sculpts female torsos out of everyday items, Miami, America - 22 Oct 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Federico Uribe/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1240124i )
Female Figures From Found Objects
These fine feminine torsos may look like naked mannequins, but closer inspection reveals incredibly detailed artwork made from pennies, dominos and even clothes pegs.
The stunning collection of torsos is the brainchild of wacky artist Federico Uribe, who uses a range of everyday objects to create his unique pieces.
Frederico, who was born in Colombia but now lives in Miami, uses thousands of items for his individual works, which are made up of items such as pencil erasers, padlocks and bright red comedy lips.
Despite the torsos being made from items that can be found around the house he sells the completed creations for about GBP 15,000 each.
He spends about three weeks on each piece and likens his work to embroidery.
However, each torso is made using a different method and the 46 year old is very secretive about his methods.
Columbian Federico's favourite piece is called 'Cybersex' and features a torso adorned with computer keyboard keys.
Another striking work is made from thousands of hardware screws and another uses safety pins.
He said: "I used to be a painter and I wanted to illustrate how different skin has different textures.
"The objects represent the rough and smooth of skin. These were my first ever sculptures so I was pretty proud with how they came out.
"I got the objects from all kinds of places - some were given to me, some I picked up in thrift stores, and some came from closed down businesses.
"What I like is that the objects have different meanings to people and then to see them used to make up something entirely different changes the way we look at objects.
"I particularly like the more traditional types of sculpture and I think these pieces represent that but give them a modern twist.
"People do ask me ho...

Silk production - from worm to catwalk, southern India - 2010

Silk production - from worm to catwalk, southern India - 2010
SILK PRODUCTION - FROM WORM TO CATWALK
For many silk - the Queen of all fabrics - spells luxury, elegance, class and comfort.
But for hundreds of thousands of people in India it is something much more mundane but infinitely important - a vital life line.
An estimated 700,000 people are involved in various sericulture (silk production) activities in India.
Half of all the silk produced in India comes from the region of Karnataka where a sub-tropical climate allows for year-round production.
In 2007-08 India exported more than GBP 400 million of raw silk, carpets and ready made garments.
In 2007 alone it produced 18,320 metric tonnes of raw silk, making it the second a largest silk producer in the world.
It is second only behind China, which produced 108,420 metric tonnes of raw silk in the same period.
While the difference is vast, India's contribution is even more impressive considering that much of its production is done using outdated tools or by hand.
Ultimately, however, poor technology and high production costs undermine the vital role played by sericulture in improving India's rural economy.
The Worm
The Silkworm Seed Production Centre in Mysore is run by Professor N.M. Biram Saheb.
He explains that the Indian government pioneered the provision of disease free lays of eggs as a way of improving yields without increasing start-up costs
The practice means that farmers are provided with a steady stream of healthy silkworm eggs.
It is deep in the seed production centre where the 'work' of creating these eggs takes place - in darkened rooms where moths are laid out on newspaper in racks of plastic trays.
Powerhouses of the silk industry they may be, but in reality they are pale weaklings whose only purpose is to mat...
