Office Supply Art

I'm going through the several thousand feed items that piled up when I was gone and found a couple of interesting projects on MAKE. I really like the idea of the little "sun jar" project for making little portable jar lights that charge up during the day and glow into the evening. I like the results better than the landscaping versions from Home Depot. Particularly because they are more portable.

Then, there's the paper clip sculptures, which tap into a weird interest of mine: office supply art. For some reason, I love this kind of thing and have been known to do my own, particularly my kneaded eraser sculptures (pictured right).

Of course, the range of office supply art wouldn't be complete without crayon carvings. They remind me of the pencil carvings of Easter Island-like statues Aaron Saude used to do in junior high that made the old #2 more interesting.
