Paper Cuckoo Clock by hellopetie
Not exactly a working cuckoo — the pine cone weights don’t drop and the bird doesn’t pop, but really, does that matter?
Ukulele Valentine Heart Box Papercraft
As promised the kit’s finished and posted! So print, cut, and glue stick your way into your uke-crazed sweetie’s heart with this sturdy little box. Fill it with chocolates, Jake Shimabukuro tickets, or last weekend’s oatmeal — they’ll not care as they’ll be busily cooing over your kind attentions. You, of course, will walk taller, look slimmer, and undoubtedly be recognized as a leader and quickly promoted to senior whatever-it-is-you-do-all-day just for having assembled this authentic, 100% accurate, playable mini-ukulele (that’s a lie and you know it — but it is a rather cute box).

Dave Devries’s “The Monster Engine”
What would a child’s drawing look like if it were painted realistically?
“…a creative thought provoking adventure, sometimes shocking and often ticklishly funny.”
“An incredible journey into the wildest place of all: a child’s imagination.”
The Monster Engine gallery is chock full of side-by-side samples — kid artist’s original beside Devries’s reinterpreted painting.
