TAG RESULTS FOR: crafts

Tired of the extended wait for an actual iPad, Jason Guest decided to take matters into his own hands and produce his own hackneyed version of the iPad… completely composed of felt. Arts and crafts are back in a huge way among the geek community and this addition to the crafters arsenal is a welcomed advancement in felt technology. In fact, it might even fit in your new pair of iGotaBigAssPockets. While you won’t be playing any of the games available on... Continue reading

Most of us aren’t blessed enough to build our very own full-sized or even snack-sized movie theater in our home. But thankfully many of us have been able to pony up the dough for an iPhone. With a little imagination and some help from the wonders of arts and crafts (yes, I realize I sounds like Barney the Dinosaur here. Just bear with me.) you can create your very own mini-movie theater. It’s not fair to let them suffer just... Continue reading

You know what they say: home is where the hearth is. Us WoW addicts take the game pretty seriously. Sometimes to the point that the border between fiction and reality starts to blur. For instance, when I’m forced to shop in the women’s clothing section with my girlfriend, I’ve actually tried to hearth my way home. Anything to get out of that situation. Created by a member of the Craftster community, these Hearth Stone Pillows further add to our delusions.... Continue reading

I’m always making awkward Stephen Colbert references that nobody seems to “get.” They might go over at little better if they were delivered slightly different. Maybe if I make this Stephen Colbert finger puppet, I can have my finger do all the talking. A little finger puppet ventriloquist act. “Oh, yeah.  That was on Colbert last night, right?” EXACTLY. Thanks so much for help making my point Stephen. Is walking around with your finger up a talk show host’s ass... Continue reading

Battling the calculating evil genius of his arch-nemesis, the Weasel, Batmole is the one true masked crusader of the underground. By day, he’s just a simple walnut mogul, with enough horded nuts to supply his vigilante habit. By night, he’s Batmole, the Dark Rodent! Link [via]

Hans Scharler created this awesome Steampunk Pumpkin using a bunch of spare parts from some of the most well known DIY providers. The pumpkin glows an eerie green color from inside when turned on in the dark, sort of like your mom. Hit the jump for the video making of the Steampunk Pumpkin.

Created by artist and avid gamer Kalapusa, this life-sized Piranha Plant illustrates what life might be like if we lived in a world closer to Mario’s world. Composed of a special mix of acrylics, clay and a strengthened wire skeleton, I wouldn’t get too close to this thing with any animals lighter than 50 lbs. It’s looking mighty hungry. This plant creeps me out sort of like how wax museums creep me out. It has that uncanny thing going on.... Continue reading

Skulls fascinate us. Whether it be skulls made of paper to skulls made of melted cassette tapes, we can never seem to get enough. That’s why we dig Indian artist Subodh Gupta and his art, a lot of which involves recycling old pots and pans from the kitchen. For the Frieze art fair in London, he assembled a load of old kitchen utensils and forged this bodacious skull just in time for Halloween. Look at that kid in the pic.... Continue reading

Flickr user Agustina loves her felt and possibly robots. And while Felt Robots are cool, we want fire-breathing, horseback riding, begging, swimming, cooking, killer robots that come equipped with the ability to give us hand jobs. While it might not be a traditional, metal robot, Agustina’s felt robots really reflect what DIY is all about. Sometimes you have to reinterpret traditional art on a new medium for people to really see your creativity. Enough hippie mumbo-jumbo, I’m watching “Lost in... Continue reading
