HOW TO – Make a Lidman

Australian crafter and mom Cheryl makes these fun one-of-a-kind “Lidmen” from colorful plastic screwtop lids. She sells her own pre-made Lidmen and friends, but also provides a detailed tutorial so you can make your own. This would be a fun rainy-day activity for the kids, with proper supervision of course.

Cory over at Boingboing posts about these subversive scenes in stitches by Becky Schaffer. She takes kits from the 70s and adds subtle present-day media influences, usually in the form of video game violence. Katherine Isbister did a nice review of her work at Game Girl Advance. – [via] Link.
