24 km of Thread Around 13,000 Nails


Ukrainian artist Zenyk Palagniuk wrapped 24 km (15 mi) of Thread around 13,000 Nails 


to create An Amazingly Realistic Portrait of Justin Timberlake. 


It took the Artist over 200 hours to complete. 


Palagniuk began by Sketching the Portrait on a Large Piece of Plywood. 



He then Hammered in all of the Nails and Wrapped the Thread, varying the Thickness to create the Final Portrait.


The style is strikingly similar to one pioneered by Kumi Yamashita 


with the major difference being that Yamashita uses a Single Thread to create her Incredible Portraits.

A Handmade Pentagon Net 400 Feet Up

 

To Relax, Shoot Photos and Enjoy the Breathtaking Views


The Moab Monkeys, a Utah-Based Group of Athletes, have no issues with Vertigo or Adrenaline. 



They recently set up Spider Web Net over a Canyon near Moab, Utah at a head-spinning height of 400 ft to relax and BASE Jump. 



The Hand-Woven, Pentagonal Web is 200 ft. away from the nearest Cliff.


To Relax, Shoot Photos and Enjoy the Breathtaking Views they had to walk this distance on a Rope Ist. 



Then they left the Net by diving into the void through a Hole in the Middle of the Net, Landing with their Parachutes minutes later.



Moab Monkeys is a Group that Specializes in Slacklining, Highlining, BASE Jumping and Film Making. 



They have performed their Stunts in places like Rio and the Austrian Alps. 



However it’s no coincidence that their hometown is Moab – a town in Southern Utah famous for its Mars-Like Landscape with Canyons, Cliffs and Arches – A Real Magnet for Any Adrenaline Junkie.
