There are two main types of latte art - freepouring, it's far more common in American cafés and etching that involves a tool to create a pattern.
It looks simple when you view it but it does need expertise to create them, here is a guide.

Incredible Camouflage Art.

If we say camouflage, what do you think of? And if we say chameleon, what do you think of? And if we say camouflage artist, then whom do you think of? Liu Bolin is amazing with his camouflage artwork; he is the invisible man, the master of camouflage. He is capable of disappearing into any surroundings and it takes hours of preparation to it. He is a living canvas; he paints his body to become a part of the surroundings, to seamlessly merge. When it comes to chameleon, it got the nature's gift to blend into its surroundings, but when it comes to artists it takes dedication, hard work and talent.

15 Awesome Leaf Carvings.

0
0
Leaf carving requires precision, skill and steady hands, as the surface of the leaf needs to be removed without damaging the rest of it.
Mostly leaves of Chinar tree are used; these resemble maple leaves and are well suited for sculpting. Their apt shape and texture makes it perfect for the artwork.
It's quite a lengthy process that runs into several months and involves drying, boiling, shaving and peeling and again drying.
The artist carves the leaf by hand using tools, and develops a landscape or a picture.
As these carvings are made from actual leaf, no two artworks are same.

These super sized stuffed animals are sure to remind us all of our childhood. When we were kids, stuffed toys had their own important place in our bedroom and our lives. And the best part was, the bigger the better. Now these super sized stuffed animals are so big that even grown ups will look small in front to them. These are the creation of Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman. And the best part of Hofman is he never fails to impress, and what more he is the benchmark for himself, as we haven't come across another artist whose work we can compare with his. Awesome and impressive as usual.
Just kind of a thought, wont these artists get tired being the best?

Pchak's Nuts and Dried Fruits Packaging: When we came across this clever packaging for nuts and dried fruits, we just remembered Chip and Dale, their hollow tree and Donald Duck.

This creative nuts and dried fruits packaging design comes from Backbone Branding made for Pchak. This creative packaging design brings an element of nature in our daily life while taking its inspiration from the name Pchak (the Armenian equivalent of 'tree hollow').

Tattoo Socks a family managed Etsy shop creates some of the best tattoo tights in a variety of original designs. These tights aren't mass-produced; these are handmade, come in both opaque colors and skin tones for a realistic tattooed look. These tights are made of microfiber, and are available in full-length footed, thigh-high, and footless legging styles.
People behind these creations are Gabby and Idan from Tel Aviv (recently relocated to Bulgaria) and to run the shop, even their parents joined in.
What Gabby and Idan have said is quite true: "We really enjoy what we do, hope you feel the same".
If we really enjoyed what we are doing then life seems to look beautiful. And once you retire, you don't have any regrets or think that we have wasted our lives doing what we weren't interested in.
Gabby and Idan are really lucky to do what they really enjoy doing and they even have their families support too.
