Bitter Work

I will admit I didn’t watch the TV show Avatar: The Last Airbender until after I saw the movie (I actually hadn’t heard of it). But I went home and rented it and it’s fantastic. So having the slightly obsessive personality that I do, I started looking for Avatar crafts. And I found this: an awesome Lego sculpture by Ochre Jelly based on the Season 2 (Earth) episode “Bitter Work”. Aang (the Avatar) is having difficulty learning Earthbending, but Toph refuses to be soft on him (get it…cause Earth is hard?…I’m sorry, it’s Monday). Anyway, the sculpture is awesome and there are more views on Ochre Jelly‘s flickr page (as well as other awesome Lego creations).

Lego Halloween Costume

Two years ago, CRAFT: did a fun round-up of quick and easy Halloween costumes to make for kids, and Diana Eng made a fantastic Lego costume out of a cardboard box!

You could easily adapt this to an adult size, or make a whole flock of them in different colors for you and your friends — and how cute would a toddler be Lego-ized?

For more Halloween costume ideas for kids, check out CRAFT:’s other tutorials for pirate, bee, sushi, and monkey costumes. I made the monkey one with my nephew in mind, and it’s one of my favorite projects ever!
