Craftastrophe » Not a Craftastrophe But Cool Enough to Rate High

Next, I will buy a tiger and name him Battle Cat.

Okay, okay. Yes. They’re GORGEOUS… but together? Meh.

Buy me some for Christmas? *bats eyelashes*

Cake Wrecks or Cake Rex?

Karen Sugarpants — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:19:02 +0000

We all know Candy Spelling is a wackadoo, right? Her daughter Tori even wrote a book about it. I keep meaning to order it and read it but then something less shallow than a kiddie pool comes along and trumps it.

According to People:

“Spelling has three gift-wrapping rooms in the home (dudes, WTF?), including the smallest for everyday gifts (pictured). “When Liam was still coming to see me,” says Spelling of estranged daughter Tori’s 2-year-old son, “we changed his diapers right here on this table, so it’s good for all kinds of wrapping.”"

Oh hee, Candy. You so silly. Remind me never to accept a gift you wrapped on your grandbaby’s change table.

Anyway folks, forget those crazy Spellings and check this out. Artist Scott Hove has made a completely sculptured cake room that looks like if you got too close, it might eat you. Or yanno, blame your mother for everything in your life and write a book about it.

Adorable! And I can totally picture Tori Spelling wearing these – whether her mother told her to, or not.

Thanks Lily!

Not sure, but I don’t think we’re talking about baseball anymore…

Baseball or not, these tighties are AWESOME!

P.S. I hope that man is just lucky enough to be really un-hairy because otherwise? This site has just taken a trip down a road I am not comfortable being on.

P.P.S. EXIT?! Where’s the exit?!

P.P.S.S. Construe that any way you must.

Boobs and Dinks: Consider this a Craftastrophe PSA.

sam {temptingmama} — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:00:05 +0000

Ever since we posted the cute strap on crotchet penis and oneflewtoofar commented on its origin, I became even more curious. I mean, they mentioned there was a set of boobs too. How could you not be interested?!

Even tho they’re flat as pancakes (as opposed to long saggy mom boobs, which I affectionately call oranges in tennis socks.) (Or beaver tails.) they’re pretty damn cute.

I believe there may even be a nipple ring on that left one.

But! Not only are these HILARIOUS! and CUTE! they also serve a purpose. Boobs and Dinks were created by Shannon Gerard as a means to bring forth the importance of Self Detection.

(finger dinks)

On Shannon’s site she describes them perfectly.

These plush crocheted breasts and penises have little lumps sewn inside that can be found by following instructions in the accompanying booklets. The booklets also teach you how to perform monthly self-examinations of your own precious privates!

Using the softness and humour of these BOOBS AND DINKS, I hope to eliminate some of the fear surrounding monthly exams and encourage people to check themselves often. Breast and testicular cancers are both treatable and often curable, if you find the problem early enough.

So thank you to oneflewtoofar for letting us know about Shannon.

And to Shannon: thank you for doing what you’re doing.

Not to mention, props for being a local gal! T-dot represent!

I think I may order my boys a couple dinks.

Because it’s not like I don’t have enough dink in this house already.

But! Remember: Just because they actually serve a purpose doesn’t mean they can’t be a Craftastrophe! Because we’re all about Teh Funneh and the Creative too!

Head on over to Shannon’s site and grab some boobs and dinks.

P.S. Every time I try and type “crocheted” I write “crotched”. Not that it’s entirely wrong, but still: wrong.

These are awesome. (and clearly not Craftastrophes but we wanted to share anyway.)

Why so serious?

This puts a whole new meaning to the phrase “walk all over me”…

At first I thought it was a blow up doll. I mean, we have featured those before.

But it’s not.

It. Is. So. Not.

The pain staking amount of work that was put into this project is truly awe inspiring. The features? The hair? The eyes?

AMAZING.

I’d love to put this in my living room and see the faces of my guests as they turn the corner and see a skin rug staring back at them, mouth a gape.

But I’m pretty sure it would also land me in a padded room after my basement was inspected for a secret well complete with a pulley system and a basket filled with lotions.

It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it is told.

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

Now it places the lotion in the basket.

It places the lotion in the basket.

PUT THE F*CKING LOTION IN THE BASKET!

*shudder*

Chrissy Conant’s talent is truly amazing. Creepy, but amazing. Go check out her portfolio, especially Chrissy Caviar. Um… WOW.

Hey Baby, I Sure Do Like Your Shoes!

Karen Sugarpants — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 02:17:07 +0000

From the listing:

Why settle for bologna when you can have bologna and cheese? This art print combines two of Rubblearium’s little shoes made from unlikely materials in one gorgeous print. Absolutely adorable in the nursery; downright wonderful as an enhancement for your kitchen or dining room decor.

The artist goes on to explain that you can download these fun prints for only $5 each, and have them printed yourself. (and no shipping = lower carbon footprint)

Somethings missing though. I can’t put my finger on it.

Oh *I* know!

What’s a bologna and cheese sandwich without Wonder Bread!? Makes those baby toes even nummier!

Oops! One more thing!

I can’t stop smiling at these!

Something about this wallet completely had me at hello. I can just picture feeding him some change and it smiling up at me and saying, ‘OMNOMNOMNOM.”

I really need to get off the drugs already.

From the listing:

Handmade in Nepal by a member of the Handicraft Association of Nepal, a pioneer for more than 30 years in promoting employment opportunities for skilled traditional Nepalese craftsmen.

So no, handmade isn’t always pretty, sometimes it’s just pretty awesome.

Thanks Galadriel!

The Great Slumber

Karen Sugarpants — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:00:31 +0000

From the listing:

The Great Slumber

The pillows are inspired by those suspenseful moments when a sleeping loved one is a little too still for a little too long. Using an irreverent combination of comfort & fear the pillows parallel sleep & death. Project goal: taking ownership of morbidly intrusive thoughts through humor & play.

I much prefer The Little Death, myself.

Bow chicka wah wah!

Thanks Rebecca!
