I love photography, and am often amazed at what people manage to capture with a single snapshot. There are some brilliant examples of what takes my breath away.
Stunning creative photography illusions!

Upon first glance these seem like normal insects. But when you pay closer attention, you will notice something which seems like it came straight out of a science fiction film.
Mike Libby creates these from insects & antique watch parts
How did insect lab begin? One day I found a dead intact beetle. I then located an old wristwatch, thinking of how the beetle also operated and looked like a little mechanical device and so decided to combine the two. After some time dissecting the beetle and outfitting it with watch parts and gears, I had a nice little sculpture.
Where do you get your insects? I get safe non-endangered high quality specimens from all around the world; from Africa, China, New Guinea, Brazil, Texas etc. Though I do salvage insects that I find right at hand, the occasional bumblebee or dragonfly.
I found this handy tool which helps you locate images on Flickr of the same colour. You can choose one or more colours, and the images are then displayed according to your selection.
I discovered Etsy.com a long time ago, I think it must have been 2004 or somewhere around there? Since then I’ve visited regularly, as I find the items sold there fascinating & inspiring.
For those of you who enjoy crafts and would like to sell your artwork – Etsy is definitely a good place to start. Their hosting of an add is cheap (I think US$0.20 for 3 months, but may vary by a few cents). If you do decide to put something on there, let me know so I can have a look!
For those who’d be interesting in buying, there are great gifts on here, though you will have to plan a bit in advance to ensure that you receive your purchase in time.
I’ve bought a couple of small things from there, and I’ve never been disappointed. Hope that you will like this site as much as I do!
And by the way, this isn’t a sponsored post
