    	Whenever I bring up the fact that I've always wanted a tattoo, one of the first questions older women will ask me in a flabbergasted manner is, "But what about on your wedding day, in your beautiful, white wedding gown?" Or they'll throw in a snarky remark like, "Well, make sure you get it in a spot you won't be able to see in a wedding dress." What those women fail to realize is that women with tattoos can still look like absolute princesses in their...

    	Since the popularity of TLC's Cake Boss, cake decorating has been taken to a whole new level. At one time, some fancy piping would suffice, but now? People are making cakes so crazy, they're causing me to do a double take -- #13 looks so real I couldn't believe it was a cake.

    	Super Mario 3 fan Kjetil Nordin spent 800 hours over 6 years to make a perfect crocheted copy of the game’s first map. The 31 year-old Norwegian used 100 balls of yarn, and the impressive blanket measures 2.2 by 1.8 meters (7’2”x5’10”). Kjetil even redid a massive section when he realized he had used an imperfect color for a certain portion of the map. During those six years, he won the Norwegian Sky Diving team championship two times, earned two university degrees, started a career, and...

    	I live in a crowded city and that can sometimes make me feel alienated. Especially when I see how the world is shaped by a passion for consumption. To cope with this fragmentation, I retreat to mountains for summer months. Nature helps me reconnect to the things that matter, and eases the sense of isolation. For me solitude is a gateway to creativity. My art is a response to social alienation. What we have is time and space to use creativity in becoming better. When using the metal pieces I...

    	I create works that are somewhere in between street art, pottery, painting and sculpture. Most of my work consist of prints of traditional laces, made in clay or painted on the walls. Why laces? Because in laces there is an aesthetic code, which is deeply embedded in every culture. In every lace we find symmetry, some kind of order and harmony, isn’t that what we all seek for instinctively?

    	Unique architecture and the way that things are made is so interesting to me. I love seeing interesting homes, and realizing that people actually live their day-to-day lives there. Some of these must have been a total pain to furnish- you can't really have a stunning house and then toss some IKEA furniture in it. The furniture has to be as one-of-a-kind as the house! These houses are architecturally fascinating, and must make for really good dinner party conversation.

    	Japanese tattoos are just plain beautiful. The Japanese are already artistic people in their own right, which makes sense why the tattoos that bear their style are the same way. The thing I like most about Japanese tattoos is that they can portray a story with a few simple visuals, pure brilliance. With a mix of beautiful color and delicate lines, these tattoos are magnificent. I hope you like what I found, I know I did.

She uses custom-made, two-inch-thick needles for her knits, which also include sweaters and scarves. Mo began knitting to have a hand-based escape from her head-based design job. No surprise then, that her work emphasizes its hand-made nature. The yarn wriggles with every huge loop, imperfections are magnified, and each piece has a unique flair. This...

We're told to question everything, so it's no surprise that there are some things out there that just can't be real, no matter what anyone tells you. Somehow, these facts are true, proving once again you can't believe everything you read (but who wants to do all that research?)
