The work of  Michael Mandiberg

Michael Mandiberg is a Brooklyn based artist, programmer, designer, educator, and bicyclist. Apart from being very well known for selling all of his possessions online, he is also respected for his numerous laser cutting works of art.

Mandiberg combines the technology of laser cutting with old books that used to be a significant point of reference for us. This specific section of work is about the promise and the failed promise of technology, and its potential to connect people or not connect people.

Miniature Delicacies

Searching for this topic was fascinating. I also have to admit that the feature I did for Petit Plat in the Craft Section, inspired me to search for more clay candies. So here you go … Food and dessert miniatures made with clay, ideal for dollhouses and collecting, especially for those who are passionate with food, crafts or both!

The detail on these mini sculptures is amazing and the result mouthwatering! and inspiring. These creations may be tiny but one should not forget the amount of effort and talent of their crafters.

Enjoy!
