Russian Nesting Dolls, or Matryoshka, lend themselves perfectly to themed sets on any subject. Artist Matt Brown made this Star Wars set for his brother for Christmas. These are soooo cool – did you catch the teeny, tiny Yoda in there too? I almost missed him!
Who needs gingerbread men when you can have ginger Chewbacca and ginger Ewoks? Craftster user kala posted these hilarious Star Wars gingerbread cookies that she and her husband made –
“He made the hair on Chewy by pressing some dough through a garlic press, that idea came from Martha Stewart Living. Yay for Martha!”
Craftster user Sleepy Tortuga posted her first ever plushies – Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. These may be the cutest Star Wars things I’ve ever seen. (Not really being an Ewok fan…is anyone?)
Alexandria Milford, also known as quirky1crochet on Imgur, posted a series of photos, of crocheted animals that are modeled after influential women throughout history. The photo above is Rosie the Riveter Fox and Frida Kahlo Bunny. Some of her other creations include Rosa Parks Deer, Amelia Earhart Raccoon and Marie Curie Mouse.
If you’re interested in buying any of her animals, you can find her on Etsy.
Or, if you’re interested in attempting your own influencial crocheted animals, it looks like these are fairly small and probably probably made with a lightweight acrylic yarn and a series of single crochets. If you need help getting started, you might want to look at some of these sets to help you get your sizing right: Star Wars Crochet, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Crochet or Disney Classic Crochet.
