Make: Online : Phone cord sheep sculptures

Phone cord sheep sculptures

Look at this herd of phone sheep sculptures! They're made from phones, cords, and handsets, and I wonder if those wires running from the wall means that they ring. Next challange: making a ringer that goes "baaaah." (Thanks, Frank!)

These are on display at the "Museum für Kommunikation" (Museum for Communication) in Frankfurt, Germany.

I've added some photos to my web album, don't miss the "Black Sheep":

Its a fantastic museum, with lots of "hands-on" activities for kids, and a look at the evolution of communication technology from clay tablets and papyrus all the way up to the internet.
