Extremely last-minute, easy DIY gifts
My favorite: half-eaten gingerman ornament Our friends at Treehugger have a few solutions to unreciprocated gift-giving. Why not make some in case you get a present from somebody you didn’t expect?:)
Totem pole made from audio machines of the past
This artwork by Anders Valde is called “Totem For Vebjørn Tandberg” and is a interesting sculptural jumble of old radio receivers, tape decks, record players, and stereo speaker cabinets. The piece is currently on display at Gallery Bodøgaard in Norway. Totem For Vebjørn Tandberg by Anders Valde
Mario inspired flowerpots ready to bloom
These two Super Mario Bros-inspired flower pots bring back the 8 bit graphics found in that game to your private garden or home. Pretty cool idea to integrate the old school graphics into modern living. Just don’t try to head-butt them like Mario used to do. via FFFFOUND! and via Blade Diary
Needle Felted Resistor
