July 31, 2008: Phony Sheep

These sheep are made, (obviously), from used phones.

I wonder if they ring?

They are wonderful! I hope that's an office lobby rather than a gallery - there should be more art in the workplace imo.

I see wires leading to them, so I assume they're working phones. Dare I ask where the keypad is?

So many puns, so little time.

I really like these, though. Very interesting.
