More Gum Art

Some of you may have seen the gum art link that I posted a few days ago. Here is more art made from chewing gum!

GumArt is the surprisingly pleasing result of thousands of hours of chewing and spreading. GumArt.com first launched in 1998 as a vehicle for showing this art to those who appreciate gum and the complexity of creating art in this medium. Since its initial launch, the GumArt site has been linked to hundreds of sites around the world.

Angry Mutant Tomato

The tomato, which is about 10 centimeters in diameter and weighs about 150 grams, is of the regular “Momotaro” variety, but is about three times the normal size. It was harvested in Yawata from a field owned by 61-year-old farmer Kiyoshi Ueda.

“This is the first one I’ve seen that has eyes, a mouth and a nose,” said Ueda, who has grown tomatoes for over 30 years.

Need a Hand?

Zaky Infant Pillows

The Zaky is an ergonomic infant pillow designed by a mom to mimic the size, weight, touch, and feel of her hand and forearm to help her baby with comfort, support, protection, and development. The Zaky can help calm your baby and help your baby sleep better through the night.

The Zaky is also great when you have to leave your baby with someone else — at your baby’s daycare facility, when he stays with a babysitter, or goes to visit his grandparents. The Zaky will provide a constant and familiar support giving your baby a sense of security. The Zaky also assists the caregivers on positioning your baby and your baby will feel and smell mom.

110 lbs Magnet Girl

Apparently, no one can lift this girl unless she wants them to. She probably has hand marks on her waist after letting hundreds of people attempt to lift her.
