Have you ever found that your face just isn’t expressive enough?
Ever looked at your cat and thought “wow, you’re really onto something there!”… well get yourself out of that litterbox and hop over to Instructables for Abetusk‘s tutorial on how to make these stunning Animatronic Cat Ears!
I have to admit, right off the bat, that I am not a fan of glitter art. However, I think we would be doing the world a disservice if we did not admit that Adam West was born to be immortalized in glitter. It has made me change my mind on the whole use of glitter as an art medium.
Luckily for me, and for my new found appreciation for glitter, TigerGalindo’s shop on Etsy has a slew of great glitter art for any occasion. Some other celebrities that deserve glitter? Elvis, Willie Nelson and maybe even Sarah Michelle Geller.
I’m not much of a quilter – and after seeing this amazing little piece I think I know why. They are all in support of The empire! Clearly us needleworkers, dressmakers, papercrafters and up-cyclers need to form an impromptu branch of the Rebel Alliance and quell the evil quilters to re-establish the reputation for good that crafters have so long held dear. Just as soon as we finish chuckling.
I spotted this piece on Strawberry Jam Designs, a craft blog ran by an anonymous ’30 something gal in San Francisco’, that is well worth checking out for some amazing embroidered and quilted craft inspiration.
Look what I have found for our Whovians to drool over today.
This delightful stained glass TARDIS made by Alexandria (Xandrigirly from Craftster).
She says:
“This semester, I’m in Stained Glass II, which means that after two panels and a little simple box, we got to pick more complicated/design our own 3D stained glass pieces! I was originally planning on a lantern type thing, but I changed my mind and decided this would be a box to keep my ever growing candy stash! And since I’m a dork, it had to be a TARDIS! Anyways, here it is, please excuse the crooked lines and such of a beginner!”
I’m sure you will all agree with me that it is amazing and she should be very proud of it.
How cute are these glittery little Pikachu ballet flats? So cute? Tremendously cute? Catherine Gretschel will make-to-order your size, and you’ll find a variety of geeky themes available in her Etsy shop. The shoes are coated with several layers of resin to keep you from leaving a trail of glitter as you shuffle through your day.
P.S. I didn’t realize this until about two years ago when I was doing research for a video game I was designing about ecology, but pikas are actual, cute little rodents that live in the mountains. I really thought the word “pika” was an adorable Pokemon made-up-word. Go tell everyone ^.^
