"Why is it so hard to find a job?" by Slinkachu

I've just got back from Paris where I was helping to promote ReAct Paris, a conference organised by the European Parliament to tackle the problems of unemployment in Europe, particularly youth unemployment, which in some parts of Europe stand close to a miserable 30%. I was leaving miniature workers hidden around the streets of Paris and asking the question "Why is it so hard to find a job?"

Vincent Bousserez - Plastic Life

"Vincent Bousserez is seeing something that the rest of us are missing. It's a world apart, a miniature world in which tiny plastic characters engage with our everyday objects. They do similar, recognizable things in their world and, in doing so, they say something to us about what we are missing in ours. The images from Plastic Life are at times poetic, occasionally sweet, sometimes sardonic, and almost always humorous. In their contemplative view, they suggest not the plasticity of the figurines, but the plasticity of our frames of references."

"Model millinery in action.

Taking a sneaky peek behind the scenes of hat making, what really goes on after dark in the millinery workroom.

The 1:87 scale track maintenance workers transferred from the railway to construct a bespoke hat using buckram, blocking wires and 100% worsted wool.

The scaffolding was made using doll's house floorboards and thin steel rods.

It turns out that making half a hat is a lot harder than a whole hat."

This reminds me of the "Little People Project."
