Helga’s cowches are lush and furry life-size soft sculpture floor pillows. Each cowch is handmade, signed and numbered. Each cowch is made in the likeness of a real cow that was or is a resident of Helga’s sanctuary! Helga does not use any real cow parts in her artwork.

Each cowch can be made in three sizes: newborn (3 feet), yearling (5 feet) and adult (8 feet). Prices range from $300 to $800 (the purchase of a cowch is not a tax-deductible expense). Cowches can also be customized for any special purpose. Since each of Helga’s creations is custom-designed, it is best for you to call Helga at 856-455-6637 and describe your request to her. You may also send an e-mail to Helga at her e-mail address:[email protected]. Helga can also be reached by mail at: P. O. Box 227, Shiloh, NJ 08353, U.S.A.

Witty Street Art

Sydney-based street artist Michael Pederson’s creates quirky street art that is so subtle that it’s easy to walk past it without even knowing it’s there. He encourages people to take a closer look at their streets and neighbourhoods, and second guess some signs. “I think we travel through urban space without really seeing it most of the time,” Pederson told CityLab. “I like the idea of interfering with the overly familiar background blur … Ideally with something a passerby might see out of the corner of an eye.”

Edmond Van Dooren 1896 - 1965

She worked on cars too (as well as easter eggs, besides teaching folk dance):

She learned the art of Kalocsa patterns from her mother and she believed in keeping the folk motifs alive so passionately that she reportedly told she’d paint an entire house or airplane kalocsai if anyone asked her.
