Got a good camping disaster story? If you've gone camping, then you've got to have at least one. Write it up in 500 words or less to enter the Let's Get Primitive camping contest. Deadline is Aug. 31, 2007. The winner gets a tent, a wilderness-proof cocktail set, and a copy of Heather Menicucci's fun book. Full details here.
To add on to Tsia's latest crochet crush, I, too, am smitten by the crochet/fiber forms of a new star.
Helle Jorgensen is the goddess of beach combing and ad-hoc flotsam craft. Her creatural Nodule Coleccione really grows on you.
Brett posted this wonder last week, and then my pal Josh showed me this! Get freakin' ready. Also - lots of pretty bouncy balls. Sometimes commerce is awsome.
holy cow- what a great Glitter thread. What can't you do with glow in the dark yarn

Two of my friends have been busy making cool things.
Andy Pratt has been making cool-ass greeting cards.
Chris Capuozzo has just released a super psychedelic book.
Os Gemeos, which means twins in Portuguese, got the chance to go paint a castle in Scotland. The twins paint beautiful scenes in a whimsical style that couldn't have been better suited to the medium. My wife was smart enough to insist on us going to see it when we in Glasgow last week. I posted photos on flickr, I hope you dig them as much as I did.
I've love these animated shorts. My favorite is definitely "Psst," but "Feed Me" and "Beware" are close runners-up. Good for small-sized humans as well as adults.
