On a scale of 1-10, I find this really wacky/zany/awesome/weird: A hand-knitted model of the human digestive system (aka gastrointestinal tract for you sciencey people) from strangebuttrewe.com. Visit the site for more close-up photos that will blow your mind.
I have been meaning to post this for a long time, and now the time has come:
It’s 3-D Mario World Paper Crafting like you’ve never seen before!!! Thanks to WithaK for originally sharing the nerd-craft blog post with me.
Naturally, since I love Mario and work in the scrapbook and paper craft industry, I found this particularly amusing and awesome.
Many people (yes, 99% women) who scrapbook and do crafty things are hot for all things Disney. If I were in control of licensing for my company (or other scrapbook industry companies), I would defintiely skip Disney in favor of stalking the good people at Nintendo for their approval to use characters from the Mario World in many varied crafting products.
Though if I were a SAHM (stay-at-home mom, acronym courtesy of all those scrapbooking forums I occasionally read for work) I would probably spend my free time actually playing Mario on the Wii than filling my scrapbook with his likeness. And maybe taking care of my child.
But if/when the time comes to have a baby, I have a bitchin’ idea for a maternity t-shirt. Oh yes, you will just have to wait and see. Until then, I will leave you with a wonderful example of other other Mario merchandise that is currently available on ThinkGeek.com
: a USB Mouse in your choice of Mario or Star!
