A Chicken Sculpture Made From Eggshells

News posted on 3rd Feb 2012

Brighton based artist, designer and art directory Kyle Bean crafted this sculpture of a chicken using nothing but eggshells (and a bit of glue!). He carefully pieced the eggshells together from eggs bought from his local bakery.

He said: "The chicken or the egg is an interesting paradox that I wanted to respond to. I was motivated by the idea. I knew it would be a challenge and very fiddly but then that's the kind of projects that I love doing."

A pet-friendly pub in the North East has started selling doggie beer and Sunday roasts with cat flavoured gravy. Manager Dave Carr of The Branding Villa in South Gosforth, Newcastle wanted to welcome dog owners into his pub, and has been so busy he's had to reorder stock of doggie beer after just a fortnight. But don't worry, the beer is non-alcoholic so there will be no hair of the dog needed for our four-legged friends!
