Natalie Irish Paints With Her Lips
A Houston based multi-media artist Natalie Irish creates beautiful portraits in a way that probably no one ever has before – she paints with her lips.
By varying the pressure of her kisses on
the canvas she is able to create astonishing paintings which many of us
couldn’t draw with a whole bunch of painting tools. Below are some
images showing her work process, creating portrait of
Marilyn Monroe.

Glass Pavement for Tourists Built on 4,690ft Mountain in China
I get vertigo just looking at it, but if
you have nerves of steel, then you should definitely try out this newly
built glass walkway in China, called the Walk of Faith.
I hope the glass is as thick as the
Popemobile’s because this Glass Plank Road has been added 1,430 metres
(4,690ft) up the Zhangjiajie Tianmen mountain. The translucent floor
guarantees the tourists some unforgettable sightseeing experiences.
The mountain is very popular with
tourists and is located in the Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park,
five miles south of Zhangjiajie Village in the Hunan province.
Would you like to take the walk of faith?
Portrait Made of 750 Pairs of Socks
Shanghai-based artist Hong Yi, also
known as Red, used 750 pair of socks to create a rather unusual sock
portrait of famous Chinese film director Zhang Yimou. Yi, which is
famous for her Coffee Stain Portrait, spent over three weeks on the project and used black, white and grey socks.
Describing her inspiration, the artist said: “When
I first moved to Shanghai, I stumbled upon an old residential alleyway
and saw bamboo sticks poking out of windows with laundry hanging onto
them, waving in the air. To me, that was incredibly beautiful.
And the amazing thing is seeing something so traditional in a modern,
pumping city like Shanghai“
“I ended up using 750 pairs of socks
because shirts were too big and expensive, plus I found an interesting
way to pin the socks together, creating a diamond-shaped piece of skin.”
