Bent Objects

This is a collection of things that I make, and images that I take. Put me on your favorites already so I can feel loved.

Four Forked FelineNovember 18

I thought I'd post something that I made the other day. I could imagine Bent Objects Widgets being deleted from personal pages around the world, so that their owners wouldn't have to see my last post 24/7!

Anyway, I was looking for something to incorporate this plastic cutlery into, and decided that this was the best use of it. The forks are leftover from last years S.O.S.A.D. event (a day for enjoying only strangely orange food). It hangs from fishing line.

More flesh colored fimo clay. Taking a break from wire for a day or two.

Some fun links, and a notice for kids in Indianapolis.November 12

Yeah, yeah, I know. You come here for the funny haha's and bent wire stuff. I've got a good idea for a piece, but it's more of a "yeah, this must mean something profound" instead of a "I wish I had a poster of this for my dorm room" kind of thing I'm afraid. Sorry! But I don't feel like being up til one a.m. making it and posting it though, so this other stuff will have to do.

First some great links (if I do say so myself).

#1. Tilt shift photography meets stop motion film making - A short, well worth watching video about it.

#2. An artist who I just found out about, but he's been doing great things since the early nineties. I'm just out of the loop, I guess. His name? David Shrigley. His photos, his sculptures, and his animations.

#3. A portrait blog of people's portraits. Color portraits of fashionable hairstyles just don't age well. Send your 20 year old portrait in for people to comment on. Go ahead, I dare you.

For those of you who live in Indianapolis or it's suburbs (I know there are a few of you out there, although I think I have more visitors from the Singapore than within m

Fimo, wire, paintbrush.

Soup TimerNovember 7

It's kind of a functional caricature.




This piece, called Soup Timer is designed so that the moment you feel the world's attention is focused on you and only you, you can set the timer so that you'll know when your time is up. It's embarrassing to keep acting like a somebody, when you're quite clearly not anyone of importance at all.

It's a piece of functional art that I've recently started making now and then (it's in my Etsy shop). And thanks to those who have purchased something recently, it's much appreciated, and I'm trying to put a new thing or two in there when I get a chance.
