Computer Bugs

Is there a bug is your system? If not, you can get one from artist Julie Alice Chappell. Her Etsy shop has several models of insects hand-crafted from old computer parts. Take, for example, this blue-winged butterfly.

The Sky Blue Winged Short Bodied Butterfly has been thoughtfully fabricated from circuit board components from inside obsolete computers and printers. Delicate circuit board patterns make his tiny wing veins and he is embellished with blue glass jewels as his eyes. He has a 12.5cm wingspam and his box frame measures 19cm squared. He is settle on a complimentary blue and pale cream symmetrical pattern. The art of upcycling, helping to raise awareness of e-waste in the environment.

There are only a few available, and each is a one-of-a-kind artwork. See the rest of them at Chappell’s Etsy store. -via Boing Boing

That is so cool!
When are they going to open the 'experience' up to the paying public..?
I'd pay to have a play - of course, I'd happily head to Mars on a one way ticket as well, but that's just me...

Never underestimate the power of the human mind to rationalize even the most stupid and useless activities.

//personally, I think of my Neatorama sessions as research into abnormal psychology.

Here's where they got the ideal for those "Mars Space Helmets":

I remembered instantly seeing them before - and I think several REALLY cheap sci-fi movies used them too....

Glad to be of service, Vonskippy! And Denita: Bwahahaha!

Creamer is thinking that when he gets back, he'll have a little chat with the travel agent that booked this "vacation."
