http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=92310 Designs by Deean will be bringing her sewn goods to the fair. I’d bring my own sewing work, but sock monkeys that leak stuffing and punctured thumbs probably won’t sell as well as Deean’s purses and baby blankets.

Cecilia Cotton Origami
http://www.ceciliacotton.ca/origami/ As one who has trouble folding even a functional paper airplane, these mind-blowing origami examples leave me feeling ori-gammy. And the fact that math is involved is extra salt in the paper cut. Icosahedron
CD Zapping
http://www.electricstuff.co.uk/cdzap.html I just sent this to a friend whose favourite pasttime is microwaving CDs in mass quantities (typically in his employer’s microwaves). The Tesla coil pushes that pasttime into fetish territory.
audio bible make ring water at cleanstream.net
http://cleanstream.net/mirrors/coin_ring/ Very cool little project (which is, as always, beyond me) that turns a quarter into a highly-polished ring. Probably of more use to anybody to whom “Dremel” is a verb.
Building a log cabin in Alaska, preparing the land and peeling logs.
http://www.alaskaantlerworks.com/Alaska_cabin.htm This step-by-step diary of building an Alaskan log cabin from scratch has made me intensely jealous. A couple with a beautiful cabin on a beautiful site, and the knowledge that they built it all themselves. Just amazing. Thanks so much, Samarin for the Stumble!
Seat Belt Purse & Twofoos

Make me one.” Now, I had never heard of something like this much […]

http://www.houstonpress.com/Issues/2005-12-15/news/news_print.html Two housewives with a cracked sense of humour and too much time on their hands have started tagging their neighbourhood with their artwork. Unlike other graffiti-ers, though, these guys don’t paint – they knit. These unfinished swatches of comfort and color used to be scattered around her house — fuzzy testaments to crafter’s ADHD […]
The Shirt

http://lennytaylor.freeyellow.com/Monkey.htm I luvs me my sock monkeys. I can’t sew for shit, but when you’re making toys that are as creepirific as these, that often adds to the allure. 😀
UNIQUEPROJECTS: complete photo archive of our projects
http://www.uniqueprojects.com/projects/photoarchive.htm Admittedly, I can’t figure out what half of these projects are by looking at them, and I’m so inept at making *anything* I likely will never attempt any of them, but hey – free is free, and I appreciate their generosity! 🙂
