A list of intriguing things
One: Sotheby’s is auctioning a pearl-and-diamond tiara—which also converts into a necklace—worth $1-1.5 million. What’s interesting: They have an insta filter that allows you to post with it. Here’s the link to the filter. The tiara is below. Forbes has more on its provenance.
Two: This gorgeous photo isn’t a work of art but the Hubble Telescope’s snapshot of the Veil Nebula—which is 2,100 light-years from Earth. BGR has the story. The image is below.
Three: This is a ‘reindeer cyclone’ in Russia: “a swirling mass of threatened reindeer stampeding in a circle making it impossible to target an individual.”
Four: A Maharashtra school turned a dead tree stump into a giant pencil. And we think it’s kinda cool. The Hindu has the story.
Five: This is an ‘apple tattoo’—where artists use stencils and the sun to ‘draw’ intricate designs on fruit. Check out Pauline Fouche’s collection or that of the Société Régionale d’Horticulture de Montreuil. Read more about the art over at Edible Geography.
