Appa, the Last Pillow Pet

Appa pillow pet

As an aunt who spent a good deal of time last Christmas tracking down just the right Pillow Pets for her nieces, I can tell you for sure I never saw one as cool as this Appa pillow project I just found on Cut Out + Keep. I love that a complete tutorial is included – cuts down on the guesswork when one simply must have a project like this one.

In case you aren’t familiar, Appa is Aang’s loyal sky bison on the animated series Avatar.  If you aren’t familiar with the series Avatar, get thee to Netflix pronto!

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).

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Four Elements Blanket

Kimby posted this gorgeous Last Airbender blanket on her DeviantArt page. It always amazes me the designs people can make with crochet. The four symbols are perfect! And it’s huge…I want one! She has the pattern and tutorial on her blog, with tips. The most important one: “And this one last, very crucial tip: Make sure to watch your Avatar DVDs while working on this blanket. On repeat. For several hours at a time…”
