Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 5:00AM I discovered Cyrus Kabiru's C STUNNERS on Maker Faire Africa 2010 and instantly fell in love!
From Maker Faire Africa's site:
Maker Faire Africa is a celebration of African ingenuity, innovation and creation. Here you will find the Makers who showed their work at the 2010 event in Nairobi Kenya. Work ranges from time saving devices for agriculture to alternative energy sources from design with recycled objects to social media applications for mobile phones. Per maker you will find a short synopsis of their work, their contacts details plus a possibliity to collaborate with them. Match your skills with one of the Makers.
Cyrus is a self taught painter and sculptor. This glasses series have no glass but are made with found objects. Each has its own story. The artistic series of once off pieces is inspired by his father who once broke his own glasses and refused to fix them.

Friday, December 23, 2011 at 5:00AM Artist and designer Hugo McCloud has some very impressive skills. His creations are made from tangible items mostly consisting of natural elements...metal, rust, earth etc. We once heard him say,
"I just love the contrast between the refined and the unrefined of materials. and my real focus in design, no matter what it is is to find beauty in the things overlooked. i believe real beauty is in the imperfections."
