    Sam Nicoll,8, trying out the World's first slide which has been recreated at Wicksteed Park
    Re-creation of the world's first playground slide unveiled, Kettering, Northamptonshire, UK - 30 May 2017
    *Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/tdoy
    A re-creation of the world's FIRST playground slide - built 96 YEARS ago from a plank of wood with NO sides - has been unveiled today (Wed). The primitive piece of play equipment was originally constructed in 1921 in Wicksteed Park in Kettering, Northamptonshire - the first public park in the UK. It was designed by owner Charles Wicksteed, who initially made slides for his park as part of his vision to inspire and encourage play, then went on to manufacture and sell them around the world. Now the iconic slide with wooden steps and 30ft long timber planks, has been re-created as part of the park's project to bring the history of children's play to life. It is based on original drawings of the first slide so modern-day children can experience the same thrills that their counterparts did back in the 1920s - and it has already proved a hit ahead of its official opening next month.

    Sour Sweets: War Portraits Made From Confectionary
    These disturbing images are not made any sweeter through the use of confectionary.

    The surreal photographic series of fatal facial portraits, made by artist Ashkan Honarvar, 32, are turned into Willy Wonka's worst nightmare.

    Inspired by old medical photographs from World War I the Netherlands-based artist has created images exploring the disturbing vision of fatal facial injuries by moulding and altering his models wounds with sweets and ice cream.

    He represents the horrors of war but at the same time has created an image that symbolises a childish naivety that a lot of people have about war.

    These disturbing images are not made any sweeter through the use of confectionary.

    The surreal photographic series of fatal facial portraits, made by artist Ashkan Honarvar, 32, are turned into Willy Wonka's worst nightmare.

    Inspired by old medical photographs from World War I the Netherlands-based artist has created images exploring the disturbing vision of fatal facial injuries by moulding and altering his models wounds with sweets and ice cream.

    He represents the horrors of war but at the same time has created an image that symbolises a childish naivety that a lot of people have about war.

    Buildings Made from Toothpicks by Stan Munro - 11 Sep 2009
    THE TOOTHPICK LANDMARKS

    A former television presenter has spent six years building famous landmarks - out of six million toothpicks.

    Stan Munro used more than 170 litres of glue as he worked full time on buildings such as Big Ben, Tower Bridge and The Vatican.

    He has also recreated Sydney's Opera House, the Taj Mahal and Cutty Sark in 1:164 scale.

    The married 38-year-old can take anything from one day to six months to make each building.

    The majority of his time goes into research.

    He downloads as many technical drawings and satellite images as possible from the internet and scales the rest himself.

    Stan's buildings are largely hollow, with just a few structural supports - also made from the toothpicks he buys direct from a wholesaler.

    The larger models are made in separate pieces so they can be moved with less hassle.

    Stan continues to work on his models at the Museum of Science and Technology in Syracuse, New York, United States.

    His latest exhibition, called Toothpick City II - Temples and Towers, features more than 40 famous religious and tall buildings from around the world.

    He has been working on it for four years and it is due to be completed in December.

    He has built structures out of toothpicks since his school days when he was asked to build a 6-inch tall structure that could hold an egg.

    His was so strong it could hold his desk.

    He combined his childhood passion of toothpicks with his more adult interest in
    architecture in 2003, following three months of unemployment.

    His first Toothpick City, called History of Skyscrapers, was sold to a museum in Mallorca, Spain. It took two years to build and has 50 buildings.

    Stan said: "Toothpick City was so much fun to build that I dec...

    'Rubik Travis Bickle Mohican'. Recreated in Rubik's cubes, Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle in the cult film 'Taxi Driver', An artist who recreates famous images such as Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa out of Rubik's cubes is leading a new art movement - called Rubikcubism. The mystery street artist, known only as Invader, uses up to 800 of the cult 80s blocks per image. He painstakingly twists each cube to get the colours he wants on the top face before carefully placing them next to each other on a hardboard. He has recreated images of famous paintings such as Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup, historic events like the Twin Tower attack on 9/11 and celebrities like Stanley Kubrik. It can take up to two days to twist the Rubik's cubes, with their limited pallete of six colours, into the required position

    RUBIKCUBISM

    An artist who recreates famous images such as Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa out of Rubik's Cubes is selling his revolutionary art for GBP 20,000 a piece.

    The mystery street artist, known only as Invader, uses up to 800 of the cult 1980s puzzles for each image and describes his new art movement as 'Rubikcubism'.

    After inputting the design into a computer programme, he then painstakingly twists each cube to get the colours he wants on the top face before carefully placing them next to each other on hardboard.

    He has recreated images of famous paintings such as Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup or iconic film scenes, such as Jack Nicholson bursting through the door in 'The Shining'.

    It can take up to two days to twist the Rubik's Cubes, with their limited palette of six colours, into the required position.

    The mystery artist preserves each image once it is complete and buys Rubik's Cubes in bulk - most recently 15,000 in one go.

    His prized works sell for up GBP 20,000 pounds each at the world famous Lazarides Galle...
