Today our friends to the south say good-bye to Bush and hello to Change! Fresh! New! Invigorating HOPE!

We Canadians sit idly by, jealous of your comradery, your patriotism, your interest in the fate of your country. (Ask HerBadMother – she’s got a FANTASTIC post about how many of us Canadians feel.)

So Craftastrophe presents an ode to your new President. Congratulations my friends, and here’s to a prosperous four (hopefully eight) year run for Obama.

A shimmering Swarovski Crystal likeness of our President-Elect Barak Obama. Whether or not you voted for him, I think most will agree that “Hope” is in the air. This t-shirt may easily become a collectible.

These are not iron-on transfer crystals. I attach each Swarovski crystal onto the fabric by a hot-fix method. Machine Washing is okay using a delicate cycle & turning inside out. { source }

Oh ya, baby.

Show your support for Barack Obama by sporting one of these adorable wristbands!

In support of the upcoming election, I will donate 80% of the profits directly to the Obama campaign. { source }

How many people at the National Mall are sporting these babies?

I have added our new first family to my multicultural doll family collection. They are made of all natural fabrics, and dressed as they were on the night of the election on November 4th 2008. { source }

A collection of the new First Family – forget Barbie, Ken and their friend Skipper.

This tee is made using spray paint and stencils…. It is coated with screen print extender which allows it to hold up after many washings!    { source }

Dood…try and keep the paint within the stencil on my shirt order please.

I just designed this garter because I’m getting so caught up in this Political season.

I found this wonderful graphic red white and blue fabric in just the right scale for one of my favorite garter styles.

I have made the band in blue and added a blue star for the center embellishment.

This would be a fun garter for the politically active DEMOCRAT bride. It would be fun to wear to a Politcal rally as well.  { source }

I’d wear these on my biceps, and my thighs.

Order now so you can sport your EXTRA AWESOME OBAMA PIN on Election Day! It’ll still be pretty collectible after this historic election!
I only have a few and I’m not making any more after they’ve sold out!

A dear friend of mine asked if I would make her an enameled campaign pin for her man, Barack Obama.

So I set out to make the most excellent campaign button ever! Ok, well maybe it’s not THE most excellent, but I think it comes pretty close! {source}

The most excellent campaign pin? Um….

Want an edible thong but aren’t sure what ingredients are safe for your bod?

A little red lace thong made from red lace candy might make his heart race!  And the snot-nosed kid at the Walmart won’t be the wiser when he rings your candy purchase through!  Diabetic comas included with every orgasm.  We give and we give, people.

Knitty.com has the pattern but warns:

Like all fine lingerie, these panties are very delicate. Knit gently. If you need your L-string to last longer than a few hours before use, you will need to keep the panties moist.

They mean vegetable oil, perv-o.

On a somewhat poontastic related note, Deb on the Rocks is requesting Madame T. melt down her Bush for a world-wide Bush Whacking Waxing.  Go see.

Thanks Gisela for the sweet find!

From the listing:

This is Escimo (sp) Joe, he’s a tiny soft plushie (10cm or 4”) who’s job is to live on your fridge door and guard your fish!

When I think of mermaids, I think of Madison from Splash, even Ariel from The Little Mermaid; but wall art with an oversized, over embellished mermaid? Not so much.

Can I just say that her pouty pee-pee sucker lips got me a little freaked out.

And her hair? What is with the hair? Are those seams from her grown out weave?

Let’s take a look at the whole picture, shall we?

An homage to mixed media art (read: all the crap this person could find, melded into art a la resin), this mermaid art is described as:

“Swim With Me” 3D mermaid wall art

A beautiful orange and teal green mermaid drifts lazily through shallow waters. A singular gold fish follows her, hoping to discover some secret treasures…

This piece is an original, one of a kind 3D wall hanging. I have hand sculpted the mermaid from polymer clay; her facial features were hand painted with acrylic paints.
Other media includes resin, glass beads, assorted fibers and ribbons, hand made papers, and watch gears. Tail is slightly poseable.(sic)

Dude, check out the freakishly large hand! All the better to stroke the fish with, my dear.

(I have no idea where that came from. Do mermaids even like fish? Ariel likes Flounder, but is that because he’s her buddy, or do they eat fish? Ad if they don’t eat fish, what do mermaids eat?)

(Listen to me – it’s like I think mermaids are real or something.)

(It’s entirely possible I *may* have had too much caffeine today.)

Once in a great while, we sit on a craft, biding our time and waiting until the perfect opportunity to show it to you.  You never know when these things will be released from the Top Secret CraftastaVault, but when they do…they are usually Not Safe For Work/Kids.

This is one of those times.  Especially if your work has a no Unicorn Vagina rule.
