I find it so inspiring when designers and artists can look at an ordinary object and create something completely creative with it. For instance, take these unconventional clothespin creations. While some of these are interesting and beneficial modifications of the traditional clothespin, others involve oddball applications.
Enjoy this cluster and perhaps you'll walk away inspired to design your own unconventional clothespin creations.
