He Starts Drilling Into An Egg. When He’s Finished It’s STUNNING!
Decorating Easter eggs is a tradition in many households this time of year. Perhaps the most well known method is coloring eggs with a Paas decorating kit. It seems to be sold everywhere and contains color tablets, stickers, egg holders and even a little wire egg-dipper contraption that can barely hold an egg. The whole thing is very convenient but also filled with chemicals.
Eggs are extremely fragile. They can break very easily. That is what makes Franc Grom’s egg art truly impressive. He drills thousands of little holes into lace-like shapes.
Franc says, ”When I start working on an egg, I don’t know exactly how it would look like in the end. I create the design along the way. I do a basic lace-like pattern, and then I fill it in. Sometimes it turns out beautiful.” The artist also says he once drilled 24,000 holes in one egg!
This egg decorating technique is off the charts. Do you think you could design your Easter Eggs like this?

He Begins By Placing 4 Spots Of Paint Into Water. But When He’s Done It’s STUNNING!
Paper marbling is a fun and incredibly easy way to create beautiful works of art. The print technique used captures a colorful image filled with the swirling types of patterns that certain stones, like marble, naturally feature. Each piece comes out totally unique and you don’t need any specific kind of preexisting artistic skill to make your own awesome looking marbled pictures. To top it all off, it’s relaxing and therapeutic to both do and watch. It’s definitely something you should try once in your life if you haven’t already done so yet!
The art’s practice is ancient and can be traced back centuries to Central Asia and Turkey, where it’s referred to as Turkish marbling and commonly called “ebru” in the country’s language. A large, shallow, rectangular tray is filled with water and paints are dripped onto the water’s surface.
The paints are treated with a few drops of ox-gall liquid, which is what gives them the ability to float on the water because it lowers their surface tension. An assortment of brushes, needles, and other pointed tools are then used to drip the paints onto the water and move them around. By gently manipulating the paints you can create all sorts of specific shapes, swirling patterns, spirals, and wildly spectacular marbled designs.
Once the painting part is complete, a large piece of paper is slowly and carefully laid over the water’s surface and the paint is then transferred onto the paper. After a short while, the paper is peeled up and upon its removal the image comes to life and the work of art is finally revealed.
To see how the art of Turkish marbling in done, check out this video. It was captured by Mike Powell as part of his travel blog when he visited Istanbul for three months. He ended up taking a class on it and filmed his teacher giving a demonstration on how to paint on water.
The man knows what he is doing as he goes about deliberately placing certain colors and drops of paint on the water. Then he moves a stick or needle across the surface and through the paints, which leaves behind a cool pattern. It’s oddly hypnotic to watch and when the paper is finally pulled up to reveal the painting, it’s like nothing you’d ever imagine it to be!

You See The Goldfish In This Bucket But Then He Pours This In My Mind Is Blown!
In Japan, artist Riusuke Fukahori has been creating ultra realistic goldfish paintings as part of his resin sculptures. Of his work he has said “I am not a resin artist. I am a goldfish artist.” He is well known for keeping dozens of fish in his studio for observation and watches them, remembering so he can draw on the mental image when he paints rather than use any photographic source.
His love and fascination for the fish is evident in the care he takes when recreating their movements and colors. Interestingly, he also paints hybrid fish he dreams up and invents in addition to existing ones. Seeing him work is truly akin to watching goldfish come to life right before your eyes!
So how does he get such realistic three-dimensional effects? The first thing he does is hand paint the goldfish onto the surface of a vessel. Mainly he works with conventional household items like cups and bowls but has also done larger vases and other various sculptures.
He then pours liquid resin into the vessel and once dry adds another layer of acrylic paint. Layer by layer resin and paint are added until a three-dimensional image of the swimming fish and water they live in come to life. The clear resin and intricate colorful fish combine so well that people have even tried to reach into the painted pools thinking they were real!
The whole optical illusion aspect of the art and how the production process reveals slightly more of the fish at each stage makes for a really enjoyable video. Fukahori’s work is often exhibited at art galleries worldwide and he has won many awards for his creations, so check him out!

He Touches This Strange Silver Sculpture. But When The Wind Hits It Blew My Mind!
Anthony Howe is an accomplished artist who works with steel to create 3D kinetic sculptures that are visually striking and hypnotically beautiful. For over 30 years he has been making them at his Orcas Island, Washington workshop by hand and with the aid of a computer. His wife helps him run the business and sell the artwork, which depending on size and materials can range in price anywhere from $40,000 – $400,000.
Howe’s inspiration was born out of a desire to find beauty and elegance in things that are the opposite of that, awkward and ugly. He explains that it’s the awkwardness of objects, like things that bang against each other or which seem physically impossible, are what sparks his ideas and draws him in.
He strives to both streamline and make things work more beautifully, and his eventual art is masterfully hammered and molded into undulating pieces that move and flow in ways that seem to defy logic. The sculptures he creates resemble optical illusions as they twist and turn in on themselves then fold back out into space, and they’re mesmerizing to watch.
The artistic journey Howe’s been on began years ago soon after he moved to New York to become a painter. As luck would have it he instead ended up working as a superintendent at a warehouse in Manhattan and noticed all the surrounding steel.
He decided to make sculptures out of the metal and explains that he was “bored with everything being static in my visual world, I wanted to see stuff move.” With that concept in mind he set to work creating visually spectacular sculptures that move easily in a breeze, as if they are dancing in the wind.
While the sculptures may look as if they were completely hand-made they are not truly 100% done by hand and Howe does use a computer to help design them. He conceptualizes his basic idea on a computer program first which allows him to see how a certain design will later move in a 3D-type of visual space.
When it comes time to construct a sculpture Howe begins by forming a foundation for the piece and starts it off with a specific individual design. Then he multiplies that design element over and over again, adding it into random or repeating patterns, that eventually come together and make up the completed sculpture. Some of his works appear to always be in motion, even when they are not, because Anthony adds mirrors that reflect and refract light at all times.
Howe clearly loves his craft and excels at making visual works of art. Check out the video to see them in action and to learn more about the artist and his life’s work. Through it all his desire to find elegance in the awkward can be seen as he continues to be inspired by movement, angles, and nature.

A Man Isolated Himself From Society For Over 25 Years With Only His Dog In The Desert. What He Reveals Inside This Cave Is Incredible!
In the high desert of Northern New Mexico, you can hear the sounds of a man entranced in his work underground in a cave. You will see a small entry that opens into a cavern, where Ra Paulette has spent the last 25 years carving New Mexico’s sandstone into magnificent art. He’s spent years doing this work with the company of only his dog.
When asked if he is a man obsessed with cave digging, he gives the really thoughtful response: “Is a child obsessed with play?” He waxes on to say, that when you love what you are doing, you are driven to do it all the time. He sees his majestic pieces as environmental projects; his goal is to inspire people such that they open up emotionally, in response to the enormity and power of what his carvings evoke.
It can be said that he has created magic in the underground caves that he has carved. They are at once intimate and overwhelming. Interestingly, Ra doesn’t see himself as an artist, but simply as a man expressing his sense of wonder in a passionate way. I would beg to differ with his opinion that he is not an artist. What he has created, is livable art of unbelievable power.
The video you are about to watch tells the rest of his story, and gives you a tour of his magnificent caves. Unbelievably, his work had no notoriety until a filmmaker asked to do a documentary about Ra. Called “Cave Digger”, the film ended up winning an academy award! Please share your reactions to this story of peaceful man who’s purpose was a dedication to his craft. I can guarantee that you are about to view something you have never seen before.
