I have two little kids, and my mind would explode if I could take them to comic con dressed as an Ewok and a Jawa. However, I would also settle for this tasty hand-knit outfit. Dress your offspring as Link from The Legend of Zelda.
Craftster.org user UpKnitCreek created this outfit for a friend’s baby shower. BFF.

Canstruction is a website that specializes in enormous sculptures built entirely with canned foods.
Doesn’t look like any Duff Beer cans were used in the construction of this masterpiece:

Another coffee-related post, but this one does not deal with stormtroopers and tie-fighters.
The Mona Lisa, in 8-bit style, using 3,604 cups of coffee was put together by 8 people over the course of 3 hours at The Rocks Aroma Festival in Sydney, Australia. I love art. Delicious, columbian, roasted, brewed to perfection on a Saturday morning art.

This kind of makes me sick. Not disgusted. Well, ok, maybe a little bit disgusted, but not in a bad way. It makes me sick because I can imagine how much time and effort and patience went into a project of this scale.
Anyone who has ever read a Shakespeare play knows how much of a chore that is. Well, imagine cutting out every single word, sorting them by mood, and arranging them to form three different works of art.
Yeah, sick.
That’s exactly what artist Sam Winston did. He took every single word from Romeo and Juliet and separated them into three categories. Rage, Passion, and Indifference. He then created three different works of art to accompany each emotion.
This is Passion (see all three at Design Boom):
Sick.

“Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare” is our favorite game here at FanMade HQ. The sound design and story of the game are great, but we certainly favor the online play.
Some beautiful illustration and sound editing went into these 2 shorts, using audio found in the game.
WARNING: Graphic illustrated blood and violence; brief language. It’s war. People will get hurt.
Ian says: These are amazing works of fandom. It’s so intresting how they reimagined the “Wetwork” stage. I need to play COD 4 right now! Hoo-Ahh

Alright nerds(not excluding myself), this is the best thing to ever happen to us:
Yeah, that’s all hand-stitched. Take that, haters.
That piece above is part of an art show happening right now, until the end of August 2009 called Stitch Wars.

“The ribbing on the drink holders reminded me of solar panels. That instantly registered ‘TIE fighter’ in my head.”
That’s a quote from Wired contributing photographer Dan Winters. The whole story, and run-down of materials used, is on Wired.com. Winter’s craft project has spawned a full-on challenge for Wired readers. They challenge you to build something creative (and geeky of course) completely out of Starbucks swag.

We applaud you Daniel. You are a fan after my own heart.

Matthew Dominick created this video that illustrates what happens when Mario’s “Warp Whistle” malfunctions.
Also, check out this Flickr set of Mario in the “Real World”.
