I’m not sure why, but crafts in the likeness of historical figures really crack me up and these bowling pins from Craftster user charmingflaws are no exception. With plaster molds, slip casting, paint and sewing, she created Ben Franklin, Marie Antoinette, Pocahontas, Ivan the Terrible, Caesar, Cleopatra and Elizabeth I. I would love to see these in person!

Maybe it’s because I just watched “Pretty in Pink” but I am feeling the eighties right now, and what’s more eighties than an Atari related craft? Nothing. Nothing at all. I found the link to this totally retro Atari Joystick Lamp via Crafty Crafty, which led me to one of my new favorite sites, Instructables.
The lamp is made to look just like a gargantuan Atari joystick, and the shade is made up of images from game cartridges. Freaking awesome!
