Emmylou Cakehead and the band The Futureheads collaborated on a tasty art installation unveiled at the charity exhibit Cake Britain (“The world’s first entirely edible art exhibition“) last weekend in London. The piece consists of the lyrics to The Futureheads song “The Chaos” spelled out in vanilla cookies! Cakehead, the cookie bakers, and the band spent a total of 200 hours on the artwork, which was consumed by patrons in a quite a bit less time. Their efforts raised thousands of dollars for St. Oswald’s house, a hospice in the band’s hometown of Newcastle. See more pictures of the cookies and the consumption at Cakehead Loves Evil. Link

If you were able to wear a book as a ring like this, which book would you choose?

You know those plastic frames that model pieces come attached to in a kit? Apparently they’re called “runners”. These guys took a bunch of them left over from Gundam model kits and turned them into a 10-foot tall statue of a RX-78 Gundam. The project took 250 hours to complete. At the link, you can view more pictures, including some that show the construction process.
