The copy of "Ranger Rick" was devoured by my son and daughter; the November issue I think. As I was cleaning up the mass of magazines I notice this article and wondered why it took me until January to find it. In case you don't know "Ranger Rick" is a kids magazine on wildlife published by the National Wildlife Foundation. Its been around since I was little, but now I wondered "when did it become so cool?"
Each bug is made from a metal part of something: trumpet mouthpieces, change purse skeletons, old silverware, car parts, ashtrays, and just about anything else metal. Look at these photos carefully and you'll see what I mean. This artist is fabulous. If I could only find the "Ranger Rick" I found him in, I'd tell you his name... I'll work on that.
Now thats inspiration for makers, hackers, and craftsters alike - and found in a kids magazine! I've got to keep my eyes much more open from now on.
