Ghost Dog made me laugh.

A beauty. Designed and hand crafted in the UK by Jacob Pugh, this ornamental bird is made in English Sycamore or Walnut wood and finished in a range of colours.

Dominic Wilcox has created a fully functional prototype pair of shoes that will guide you home no matter where you are in the world. Funny.

I was commissioned by the Global Footprint project in Northamptonshire, a place famous for shoe making, to create some shoes. I decided to make a pair of shoes that can navigate you to anywhere you wish to travel to. I thought about the Wizard of Oz and how Dorothy could click her shoes together to go home. After uploading your required destination to the shoes via a piece of custom made mapping software and a USB cable, the GPS, which is embedded in the heal, is activated by a heal click. It then communicates to the wearer via a ring of LED lights to point in the required direction. The shoe with the GPS wirelessly communicates with the right shoe that has a progress bar of lights to show how close you are to the destination.
