Rocket Man Blog: $500 Hammers: "Since I work in the aerospace industry, I frequently have people ask me something like “Have you ever paid $500 for a hammer?” My usual tongue in cheek answer is “If I could get a hammer for only $500 I would be happy.” For those of you who do not work in the aerospace industry I will explain what I mean by that answer."

A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects.
Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles.
Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point.
She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful.
'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"
