Hot Chocolate Cupcakes



They look like cups of hot chocolate, right? Keep scrolling.



The blogger behind Diary of a Ladybird made these cupcakes out of fondant. All they need is some chocolate syrup on top!

Stay Puft S'More



redditor SirCreate is making me hungry with this excellent model of Stay Puft from The Ghostbusters out of modeling clay. The missing bite is a nice touch.

R2D2 Smoker



Really, the studio name and logo displayed in the watermark is as inspired as the smoker itself. Philip Wise modified a 55-gallon drum into this perfect Ewok-smoker. Or whatever else you want to cook.

Oh, was that offensive? Just keep in mind that those adorable little teddy bear-like creatures eat people. I say that we return the favor.

What Would You Take with You from Your Burning House?



Robert Holden is asking people a simple question: what would you take with you if your house was burning down? The limitations create "a conflict between what's practical, valuable and sentimental." Pictured above is the selection by photographer Porter Hovey. Why the shuttlecock? Hovey explains that's is actually a Christmas ornament:

A nice reminder of where I’m from — people never realize how cosmopolitan Kansas City really is. From an aerial view, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art looks like a gigantic badminton court with gigantic shuttlecocks scattered about on the lawn. The Nelson also has one of the best collections photography there is in the world. It always inspires me.


What would you take with you?

Custom 3-Wheeled Chevrolet Citation



This 1980 Chevrolet Citation was put through serious modifications. The 2.5L engine was moved to the back so that the front could lose a wheel, and the remainder moved to the center. So it's basically a trike that started it's life as a car. Or, as the owner named it, the Tritation.

How to Make a Wine Glass out of a Doll's Head



Because you've always wanted to know, right? It's a fairly straightforward process. Cut off the doll's head and then saw off the top of her skull. Next, cut the stem of the plastic wine glass (or a glass one, if you're daring) at the level so that the top will fit over the hole in the doll's neck. Shove them together, pour wine, and serve.

Goya's "The Third of May, 1808" Rendered in Staples





Tofi Stoler works extensively with staples as her medium. One of her recent works is a recreation of Francisco de Goya's "The Third of May 1808", which depicts a massacre of Spaniards by French troops during the Napoleonic Wars. It's made entirely with staples and superglue.

Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes as an Adult and a Father



The webcomic Pants Are Overrated (a sentiment that I heartily endorse) imagines Calvin 26 years after the end of Bill Watterson's comic. He's all grown and the father of a daughter (named, to continue the theme, after Francis Bacon). She can't sleep. Click on the link to read the rest.
