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!
If you just can’t bear to leave your Wii Mii all alone while you’re out and about, you have to check out these Wii Mii Pins by Craftsholic on Etsy (found Via geeksugar).
This is a perfect hand sewn way to carry your Mii with you always. You wouldn’t want it trapped in virtual reality while you were out in reality reality would you?

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!
