`Using carefully broken shards of colored glass, Polish artist Marta Klonowska assembles translucent animals in life-like proportion and size. Almost all of her sculptures are based on animals found in baroque and romantic paintings by such artists as Peter Paul Rubens or Francisco de Goya next to which they are often displayed. Her work appeared most recently at European Glass Context 2012

Pond uses all mater of scrap metal from motorcycle parts to
old gears, steel handles, and other found hardware to weld these imposing,
well-armored birds, fish, and other beasts. Watch the time-lapse above to see
how he works.
John Piccoli
John Dilnot is a man after my own heart. Using clipped
illustrations of birds and months he arranges them to create beautiful dioramas
within wooden boxes. Dilnot frequently lines the interiors with antique maps
and arranges the birds in small flocks, setting them on perpetual cartographic
journeys. You can see an archive of John’s work here and some boxes that are
still available here. He also sells prints and postcards.
Lauren Ryan
California-based artist Lauren Ryan skillfully constructs life-like animal sculptures using nothing more than pipe cleaners (also known as chenille stems). The bent, curled, and woven into one another to produce these remarkable figurative structures. The fuzzy materials also add to the believable texture of each creature, mimicking the respective animal's fur.
Nick Mackman
''Observing lion cubs sleeping on their backs
with their legs akimbo shows the security they
gain from being part of such a large strong
family'' When it was time to sculpt them, Nick
wanted to show the cubs in this vulnerable
state.
Sean Avery
In his mixed media sculptures of animals and insects artist
Sean Avery creates fur and feathers using meticulously layered fragments of broken CDs.
