Artistic Murder Weapons Slay Me

Posted by Jill Harness in Arts & Crafts, Everything Else, Funny on February 5, 2009 at 12:40 am

Artist Liz McGrath is selling personalized painted butcher knives just in time for Valentine’s Day. There are two designs, the one shown and one with a cute little mouse on the blade. Each cleaver comes with its own box. They’re only $25 and the perfect way to tell that special someone “till death do us part.”

Crochet Coral Reef

Posted by Jill Harness in Arts & Crafts, Everything Else, Travel & Places on January 13, 2009 at 10:42 pm

This crochet coral reef is amazing. It’s actually an attempted replica of the Great Barrier Reef. The variety of textures and colors is as full as those in the reef itself. It took years to make, which can be easily recognized just by the look of it.

“Vast in scale, collective in construction, exquisitely detailed, the Crochet Reef is an unprecedented, hybridic, handicraft invocation of a natural wonder that has become, in itself, a new kind of wonder spawned from tens of thousands of hours of labor.”

Knitted Horse Head Says A Mouthful

If you need to send someone a message, sometimes the only thing that will get through to them a bloody horse head. If you’re like me though, that sawing through bone of a prized race horse is just too messy and requires too much elbow grease. So here’s a vegan-friendly option for all you aspiring mobsters, knit your own decapitated horse head with this lovely pattern.

Urban Knitting: Taking It To The Street

Posted by Jill Harness in Arts & Crafts, Crime & Law, Everything Else on November 27, 2008 at 2:39 am

You may have seen Alex’s crocheted bunny body suit, but I’ll see that handiwork and raise you Urban Knitting. Trees, street signs, statues and gas stations, nothing is safe from these rebels of the wool.
