Most Controversial Posts on CRAFT in 2008

Each day this week we’re bringing you a different roundup of 2008 posts on the CRAFT blog. Today’s year-in-review is of the most controversial projects that have graced the pixels of these pages last year. We like to encourage intelligent discussions about thought-provoking crafts that break from the mainstream, and in 2008 they fell into consistent categories:

Guns:

• Papercraft AK-47
• Gun Purse
• Gunfight Cross Stitch
• Plush AK-47

“Gross:”

• Bloody Plush Toys
• Squirrel Feet Earrings – by far the winner of them all!
• My Hair Barbie
• Meat House is Gross, Interesting
• Shark Attack Cupcake Mountain
• HOW TO – Pork Princess Tiara

No You Can’t/Yes I Can (crafts that bring up other issues):

• Yellow Submarine Shower Curtain tackles copyright and fair use
• TV-B-Gone Hoodie and Zipper Switch asserts control in public spaces
• Super Easy Stovetop Popcorn raises old generation vs. new generation conflict
