Subversive stitching is all the rage these days, and boy do I love some nice science embroidery!
My favorite in the set:

I am ALL for re-purposing household items in art projects, but sometimes it just…can be…unnerving.
I can’t look at this without singing “Private eyes…are watching you…they your every move…”
(I’d rather not site the source because it’s a really well-meaning project and I don’t want to hurt any feelings through a trackback!)

I found this anatomical matryoshka doll on a Russian site a while back. Wish I had more info about it. What a great project idea!

I just looked through every single picture in Nicole West’s galleries. Her polymer clay sculpted dolls are breathtaking!
They are beautiful, pristine, tragic, vulnerable, sexy, strong…
Some of these would be fantastic inspiration for photo shoots!

I adore these eggs by Crafty Chica!
And for the Alice fans…

This could very well go on my project list, which means that some lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view) individual may eventually receive it as a gift.
Who wants to build a Ratmobile with me?

If I walked into someone’s house and saw an entire crocheted coral reef, I’d be absolutely floored. What an incredible project.
I pretty much only crochet scarves and blankets (thus far). I’m impressed!

And now to set this up with the proverbial “They can put a man on the moon BUT…”
WHY wasn’t this invented hundreds of years ago? And if it was, why didn’t I know about it? I love to sew by hand (and anyone else who does knows how annoying it can be to thread the needle sometimes). I have to get my hands on some Spiral Eye needles.
You can easily thread these in a few seconds flat.

I came upon a flickr set from Friday Feltz containing this miniature vignette of needle felted creatures.

Lisa Snellings makes adorable, mildly creepy creatures called Poppets.
Where did the “Poppet” come from? According to the artist:
The two-inch Poppet sculpture was originally to be the pawn in a toy-themed chess set. Not far into this project I decided it was the wrong time to make a chess set, possibly the wrong universe and that there were too many chess sets already.
But I liked the little pawn.
Love the inscription…
There are other little sculptures as well…
See more in her Etsy store and on Poppet Planet.
