Each fragile sculpture is handcrafted as thin layers of cut paper, aligned so that they look like one whole entity from multiple perspectives and seem to be in an invisible state from particular points of view. Ultimately, the viewer needs to walk around each sculpture to fully realize the artist's skilled work.

If eating a meal 750 feet below the earth appeals to you, you're not going to find a better place to do it than the Underground Lunchroom of the Carlsbad Caverns. This might seem like a strange place to put a restaurant, but it makes perfect sense when you consider that Carlsbad Caverns National Park is visited by over 350,000 people per year. That's a lot of hungry explorers, and I doubt the Guadalupe Mountains of New Mexico are teeming with other food options.

Some clever Japanese cat owners have re-purposed a simple but popular doll bed from IKEA, turning it into an adorable bed for their cats and other pets. The $20 Duktig is officially a toy bed for children’s dolls, but it also seems to have become IKEA’s first foray into the pet furniture market. Incidentally, the slot at either end of the bed is an excellent feature for cats – it lets them stick their tails out if they want to relax.
