If you grew up having a pool (or knew someone with one), then most of your summer days were probably spend lounging beside that pool. Living in a neighborhood and having a place to swim is a huge responsibility in the summer. It attracts neighborhood children like honey does flies. One family decided to avoid potential lawsuits and wet children tracking water through their homes by doing something absolutely brilliant (and a little evil). Check out what this family of masterminds they did to their back yard: And this is absolutely brilliant. The only thing better than an in-ground swimming pool is an in-ground, underground secret swimming pool. Yes. This awesome pool is very real. (H/T BuzzFeed) It’s nearly June. Half of the world should be prepared to feel insanely jealous of this awesome pool. Read more: http://viralnova.com/hidden-pool/

Mother’s Day has come and gone, but this thoughtful gift from four adorable Icelandic boys will surely last a lifetime. Gísli is an orthodontist and a father of four, so when Mother’s Day rolled around this year, he decided to combine two of his great loves into one epic gift for his wife. He filled a bucket with impression material that is most often used for creating molds of teeth and had his sons dip their hands in it. After 10 minutes of them all keeping as still as possible (the youngest did surprisingly well at staying patient), they removed their hands and were left with a mold. Gísli poured a stone mixture into it…when you see the end result, you’ll be amazed! This is hands down the most unique and creative Mother’s Day gift I’ve ever seen…or is it hands up?

Hong Yi started out as a simple artist with a YouTube channel. Hong Yi, known as Red to most, likes to paint. However, she doesn’t like to paint with a paintbrush. Instead, Red finds different ways to create her beautiful artwork. In one of her first paintings, she used a basketball to create the image. Now, she is using something else to create an incredible portrait (for someone you’ll recognize). This is Hong Yi, known as “Red.” Hong Yi – Red Red is both an artist and an architect. Hong Yi – Red Jackie Chan’s art director contacted her, hoping to commission her to make something for Jackie’s 60th birthday. Hong Yi – Red She decided to make a portrait… Hong Yi – Red But it was unlike any you have ever seen before. Hong Yi – Red It was made entirely out of chopsticks. Hong Yi – Red Jackie had always been supportive of her work. Hong Yi – Red He saw her other portraits using unique mediums, like socks or coffee rings, and was entranced. Hong Yi – Red So, Red was hired to create his 60th birthday portrait. Hong Yi – Red She spent a month collecting 64,000 chopsticks, in Zhejiang and in Beijing Hong Yi – Red She tied the chopsticks into different bundle sizes with strings. Then, she hung them all from a steel frame. Hong Yi – Red Red presented the finished portrait at his birthday concert, in front of 10,000. And to think, she just started out with a YouTube channel, posting her work. Hong Yi – Red “It wasn’t easy to choose the material for Jackie’s piece. He is a world famous actor, an exceptional martial arts fighter, an environmentalist, and one of the most well-known faces internationally! I finally decided on chopsticks because Jackie had used them in some of the fighting scenes in his movies the Fearless Hyena and Karate Kid, and because chopsticks are Chinese. As he is also an environmentalist, I used disposable bamboo chopsticks to show that discarded materials can be reused and made into something meaningful and beautiful. This art installation is a tribute to the life, art and cultural significance of Jackie Chan.” -Red Source: Oh I See Red! The final result of her labors is art, but the Red’s true artwork is how she creates her pieces. She is truly a creative genius, share her unique methods by clicking the button below.
