Down south we have a lot of fly’s and I do mean a lot. Most of the art that we see around here are the ones created with fly paper. If you stand back far enough, you can almost see a game of connect the dots.
With that being said, Magnus Muhr of Sweden found a creative way of displaying the dead little critters. Magnus has created a wonderful little gallery of Dead Fly Art where he composes the little nasty things into comedic wonder. Make sure you view his other collecton of fine photography.
Magnus says (translated), “This started several years ago on a warm-up party when I get bored found a dead fly on the balcony on a summer evening o immediately thought “ahaa” if I get a pencil o camera … O on the way it is:) may now orders for these small “paintings” that I sometimes sell.”

Fritz Bogott over at Instructables.com came up with a great way of building a homemade Tandoor oven. Lately I have been researching on how to construct one of my own and while I may not make mine exactly like his, it has inspired a few modifications to my plans. None the less, a great instruction based way of making one fairly cheap.

Over at JonsBushCraft.com I found a great article for those wanting to learn the basics of Basket Weaving. Might have to try this one for myself whenever I have a few hours to kill in between programming. Now off to find some Willow stems!
