Katamari Computer Monitor Cat Bed

Inez Hernandez submitted this Computer Monitor Cat Bed to us and I am just in love with it. She used a few basic crafty skills, namely; spray painting, modge podge, some feathers and rhinestones, and of course, a little fleece for her kitty to sleep on! This is one creative way to re-use an old monitor and spoil a well deserving kitty at the same time. The cat’s name is “Katamuri”, so Inez used characters from the Katamari Damacy video game to personalize her kitty’s new suite.

Jar Jar Binks Salad

jar-jar-salad
A few years ago, I attended a school designed to teach cooking & presentation, and my favorite part of the course was the garnish. We had instructors that could make a watermelon look like a bouquet of roses straight from the garden. So, naturally, when I saw this Jar Jar Binks carved from a jimaca root, I was excited.

Ken posted this amazingly detailed Jar Jar Binks Salad on Cooksden, lamenting that if he had carved any other character from Star Wars, he wouldn’t have wanted to cut into it with a knife. There is a detailed how-to in the article, and no worries, you won’t have to go buy a million different kinds of knives to pull this one off yourself.

Twilight Prom Scene Pen and Ink Drawing

Twilight Prom Scene Pen and Ink Drawing

We’ve only got a few more weeks until Twilight comes out on DVD (and my mom just pre-ordered it for me – w00t!), so I was super excited to see this submission from Geekcrafter Fee Harding. She made this pen and ink drawing of her favorite scene from the movie: Prom. If you’ve seen the movie three times (or more!), like I have, you’ll notice that not only did she get the faces down great, but even tiny details like the flowers on Bella’s sweater. You can buy a print of this drawing (and some other geek-themed drawings) in Fee’s Etsy shop, burntfeather.

Scrabble Board Picture Frame

If you are a word-nerd like me, this Scrabble Board Picture Frame is probably lifting your spirits as I type. Kelly Jensen from photojojo submitted this awesome picture frame project to us and I was too busy digging through my garage for an old Scrabble board to post it before now.  Check out photojo for more ideas using different board games and a couple of definitions of those weird “Scrabble words” that the real pros use.
