Metal Objects Covered With Intricate Embroidery

Metal objects that have been sitting outside for a while tend to get pitted, rusty and full of holes, and soon becomes a useless artifact.

Artist Severija Inčirauskaitė-Kriaunevičienė has figured out a very interesting way to give new life to these otherwise useless metal objects- she embroiders delicate flower designs into them, bringing the soft arts and hard metal together in a delightfully colorful manner.

The Lithuanian artist was inspired to create these unconventionally traditional embroidered works by her country's rich craft history, using traditional floral motifs on mostly weathered metal objects and rendering these objects useless for anything but artistic enjoyment.

The premier episode of the Outer Limits ("The Galaxy Being") caused me to run away from home. I was almost five years old. My mom was out shopping with my brother, and my dad fell asleep. The show on TV was so scary, I grabbed my favorite toy and blanket and headed down the street. A neighbor brought me back home, and that was when I learned how to turn the TV on and off.

Awesome series that I appreciate more as an adult than as a child. There's a lot to write about too - Harlan Ellison and The Terminator being another example. . .
