It’s a Craft!

I love Winnipeg. Why? Because I can get practically any Star Wars character custom made out of needle felt. For some reason, when asked which character I would like by Kornelius von Bergen (the creator of these fantastic Star Wars homages), the only character I could think of was Admiral Ackbar. And I couldn’t be happier.
Kornelius von Bergen belongs to a crew of needle felters/crafters, including Lisa King (the one who makes those mustache necklaces that we featured earlier in the year. Take a swing by their blog to check out more crafts.

My lady partner Kate and I spent the weekend at The Tallest Poppy doing the artist residency. We weren’t really sure what we were doing until we got there, so we just brought a lot of felt, pipe cleaner, way too many googly eyes and a bag of stuffing. I decided to make some coffee cup caddies (inspired by the cereal bowl caddies of my childhood) and Kate made breakfast themed finger puppets. In return we got to eat a delicious Saturday breakfast followed by their famous Sunday brunch. If you haven’t already been to The Tallest Poppy, I highly recommend it.

Tube Coffee
30:
Out for a lovely lunch-time stroll, we came across a friendly looking astroturf covered, face-shaped wooden stand. The purpose for this new green friend? Free coffee with nothing expected in return. And the best part was nobody got sick!
The bottom line of the sign reads: A gift given with no hope of profit or return is an imaginary gift.
