24 Sheepish Innovations
From Sheep as Lawn Mowers to LED Sheep Art Shows:
Meghan Young — Oct 23, 2009 — Art & Design
I’ve known my fair share of black sheep, but I can’t help but find them endearing. I actually saw my first herd of sheep a couple of weeks ago and I still vividly recall that one shaved sheep among dozens of his woolly companions. I enjoy my warm, comfy knits but I easily forget where it comes from. I dedicate this cluster to all the bare sheep around the world.
