If you looked quick enough, you might be mistaken that this is a real horse. Instead, it’s a sculpture put together with pieces of recycled driftwood. The work is the result of artist Heather Jansch — who specializes in art created with driftwood and bronze. To see more of her work, jump here.

    Is it just me or does anyone else think this is a bit creepy looking like a skinned horse?

    Impressive! I just checked out the other art on her site and it equals and/or exceeds the quality that you showed here.

    I love the fact you use re-cycled wood also the proportions on the horses are perfect

    I wanted to submit a comment regarding your Poll “How long do you think it will be before an electric car is sitting in your driveway”. I wonder how many realise the inconsistency and unsustainability of electric cars… the greens are asking us to switch to (toxic mercury containing) light bulbs and instead plug in a WHOLE CAR! (hilarious!)

    Where will the electricity come from for that? Are we going to give up Las Vegas so we can all have electric cars?
