Needle-felted Presidents

Oh, my word. I think these are the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. Craftster user giddygirly needle-felted presidents for a  contest. She says,

“I entered a contest to celebrate the release of a new book (titled “Beards of our Forefathers”) and so I made a set of US presidents who wore beards. Except Garfield, because Garfield isn’t funny.

Each president is approx. 3 inches tall, and their heads are about the size of a penny or nickel.”

Every once in awhile I come across a particularly girly geek craft. Craftster user Inara says,

“I recently did a painting of Hello Kitty as the Mona Lisa for a swap, and the whole thing turned out so amusingly good that I took my concept drawings, cleaned them up a bit and made a screen.”

Bonus coolness: glow-in-the-dark paint!
