There’s nothing wrong with being a Safety Sue or a Safety Steve! A twist on the Quillow*, this condom wrapper look-a-like pillow opens up for storage of your very own body condom! These would be a perfect gift for kids for their college dorms (filled to the brim with real condoms and PSA pamphlets, of course. *wink*)

*Bonus points if you know what a Quillow is.
Thanks Sabra!

Not a Craftastrophe But Cool Enough to Rate High |

I have always been fascinated by the wacky forklore behind Vagina Dentata. There’s nothing more neato than imagining Teen Wolf in your Kitten Mitten.
This sculpture has a heart being handed out from the vagina in a femisist statement about hearts and sex and love and feminism. Is it obvious I have no idea what was meant by this?
Yeah. So. Carry on with your bad selves. I’ll be over here, crossing my legs, rocking in the corner.
Thanks so much for the nightmares, Kerrie!

Lady Bits and Pieces |

Gag Me With a Hairy Spoon is now for sale! Thanks Sarah for being such a good sport – we love your craft. Bid on it here, folks!
I know there are families out there who allow their cats to jump on the dinner table and the counter. I know there are some families who love their pets so much, they allow said pets to kiss them and their babies.
We have a dog. I love her to pieces but her tongue never, ever touches my plate, my mouth or my kids. That’s just the way I am. I want to make out with my dog just about as much as I want to make out with Carrot Top or Amy Winehouse. As in NOT AT ALL. (Though I’m certain my dog’s mouth is cleaner than part of Amy Winehouse’s body.)
When I saw this craft, I had a physical reaction. You might too. Feel free to share said reaction, Batman style (KAPOW! BLAM! WRETCH!), in the comments.
From the listing:
Well, lately I’ve been really into resin and I got a mold for a spoon rest for my birthday. I kept thinking of things I could put in the mold but I kept coming back to the idea of..what would be something you would NOT want your spoon to touch? So my husband and I came up with a bunch of ideas (which I will make more of them later) and I decided to go with the hair! It was funny because the day I decided to make this I didn’t have any dog hair around….I just cleaned! I don’t want to sound gross but if you have a dog you’ll know that dogs shed and sometimes you have hair around…. So I went on a search of the house for dog hair and found a bit hiding behind my dog’s cage…haha.
So anyways, I resined my dog’s hair into the spoon rest..LOL. So gross…but oh so funny! Don’t worry the hair is all safely inside the resin and does not touch the spoon!

Thanks for making me choke on chunder, Heather! At least it wasn’t PUBIC HAIR.

Disturbing Things We Should Never Own |
{ }

I’m a big fan of Yoga. I think it’s good for the mind, body and soul. At the end of a Yoga class, the instructor always bows to us (and us to her) and says, “Namaste.” The meaning of that isn’t lost on me, but in case you don’t know what it means, here’s the short version:
The gesture Namaste represents the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us that is located in the heart chakra. The gesture is an acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another. “Nama” means bow, “as” means I, and “te” means you. Therefore, Namaste literally means “bow me you” or “I bow to you.”
It’s such a nice gesture, and you feel so incredibly peaceful afterwards.
Which is why I have no idea why this crafter called her creation the Namaste Necklace. To me, that looks more like my kids Magnetix set exploded in glue and set into a choke hold I would never ever pay $2500 for. Can imagine wearing this monstrosity to Yoga class? It’s like cowboy belt buckle meets gloworm! You’d never get out of downward facing dog!

*Thanks Haley for the invention of the word Yogical!

This work is about the formation of thoughts.
I am interested in exploiting the inherent qualities of glass and what it describes.

Oh yeah, I can totally see that. Totally. Hey Sam, can I borrow $250 bucks? I’m interested in seeing the exploitation of inherent qualities of glass. Very interested.
Thanks Jett!
