Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí's Destino film
Posted by David Pescovitz
Here is Destino, the collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí. Production began in 1945 and the film didn't premier until 2003. Apparently, it will finally see an official home DVD release in 2010 along with a documentary about the two artists' history together. Destino (Wikipedia) (Thanks, Kirsten Anderson!)

love how this looks!

little favors i made for my

niece's wedding this sunday. i shrunk pictures of the happy couple and used diamond glaze to afix them to little glass squares. i put some on the tops of some of the squares and some i did from the bottom. i also used some lovely paper for backing on all of them. some paper i purchased from etsy specifically for that purpose, other paper i used was ordinary origami paper i found at the craft store. i put one completed square in a glassine envelope and sealed it with two tiny stickers (i bought. hearts or stars or flowers). then i wrapped a ribbon around the envelope and sealed that with a sticker i made. i used my trusty xyron 2.5" sticker maker (used some of the pretty paper i got on etsy as well as the origami paper i got at the craft store). i then cut the stickers into circular shapes with my martha stewart craft punch


that took the longest by the way. separating the stickers i made from the backing. other than that, everything went fairly quickly

crappy pictures but you can get the gist

wow didn't actually know there really WAS

actual real actual and real oil involved. this is COOL!

Wind powered knitting machine takes the tedium out of your heirloom production
by Laura June,
Knitting is one of those acquired crafting skills we just never fully warmed up to. We'll embroider, crochet, or quilt until the sun sets for the last time on the day of the apocalypse, but knitting is just so... boring sometimes. Luckily, ingenious artist Merel Karhof has a solution for the monotony of the knit - purl - knit - purl routine. She's designed and invented a machine that knits all on its own, harnessing the ever-present power of the wind..........................

a felted cellphone credit card bag

i made
knit all in garter stitch. i put dimensions out there (approximate. i lost the paper i wrote them down on prior to felting it) but really, it's NOT important. neither is gauge. if you want it to felt, you MUST use 100% wool (NOT superwash either). i used brown sheep. i had a bunch of odds and ends left and a project like this is a PERFECT project for leftovers (i used a couple other hunks o' yarn that i couldn't identify but knew were wool). i used size 11 needles but again, use what you want or what you have. as you can see there are two pockets. one on the outside that is covered by the flap (which buttons) and one on the inside. i crocheted the bag together and crocheted a border around the pockets and the flap as well. a buttonhole was made in the flap. i made an i-cord strap using three strands of yarn and 3 stitches. if you click on the dimensions picture you'll get a larger view - just in case you want to see my measurements.

the finished measurements are; approximately 9x7"
red pocket 5"
white pocket 5.5"

when you're done with the bag, place in pillowcase and wash in warm to hot water with a bit of detergent. i let it go through an entire cycle. then block

it's not perfect but that's a true sign of something being made by me!

i'm all over THIS tutorial!
