Bacon Cheeseturtle


Mother nature gives us examples of new ways to improve our everyday designs.

This is the new design and how it's made:
Handmade ground beef patties, topped with sharp cheddar cheese, wrapped in a bacon weave…then the next step, add Hebrew National hotdogs as the heads, legs and tail. Next step? Place on an oven rack, covered loosely with foil and baked for 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees. A little crispy, not too crunchy…just how a turtle should be, no?
This was made by an unknown person by the name of Elie.

I recently discovered a website that contains many different sort of brushes that can be downloaded and used on photoshop!
I though this website was great and really enjoy using these brushes. They're simple to download and FREE!

Here are three random samples out of many that I found very interesting!

The website is called Brusheezy.com and it has become one of my new favorite websites as a help guide in doing many different projects!

USBee



Design is brought into everyday things. Damjan Stankovic's new design is a flash drive design that he calls a USBee. This flash drive is in the shape of a bee. This won first prize in the Serbian "MS Industrial USB" design competition.

The waist is flexible which was designed to protect the body from accidental bumps. Also, the black stripes on the waist are made as a smart cooling system.

Color Picker Pen

Color Picker is a design of a concept of a pen that can scan colors from just about anything and everything and instantly use the color for drawing. After holding this pen up to any object the user would just press the scan button on one side of this pen and automatically the color is detected by the color sensor and the RGB cartridge of the pen mixes the required inks to create the target color. The user then can instantly use this pen, using the opposite side of the scanner and begin writing. This pen seems to be a great invention and can really come in handy!!
