Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Sappymoosetree’s Artoo portrait might look unassuming, but get a little closer… He’s made of yarn, and not as you might expect. (See more photos in the gallery.) Yes, it’s another entry from the Stitch Wars show… Which now has a dedicated web site and blog!
I have a feeling no one actually uses this. Tour the Star Wars bathroom. And if they do, I feel very sorry for whoever has to clean it.
Fanmade. Mummy Boy-customs by Leecifer.
Event. The Indiana 501st and Rebel Legion are heading out to cheer on battling roller derby teams at Cyclone Wars this weekend. (via)
Lists. Jennifer Volpe’s Top Ten Best ‘Star Wars’ Games. I’m taking a strange ornery pride in the fact that I haven’t played a single one. (Please don’t tell me to start. Some people don’t read: I don’t game.)
And finally, cake. You know it’s love when she makes you a Star Destroyer.
Here’s another item out of Bear and Bird’s upcoming Stitch Wars gallery show: A set of adorable Jawas by Cutesypoo. Check out more pics on their Flickr.
There is nothing not awesome about Heidi Kenney’s plush taun taun – complete with frozen Luke and a belly zipper. More photos at her site or on Flickr.
It will be part of the Stitch Wars gallery show, which opens at Florida’s Bear and Bird gallery in July. I hope to feature more works from the show, so stay tuned.
Madness! Artist and Lego maestro Craig Stevens recently finished a minifig scale Rebel Blockade Runner that measures in at a whooping twelve feet long. And that’s only one of his Star Wars creations, which also includes the Millennium Falcon. (via)

The Darth Vader garter was the Star Wars hit of #estyday on Twitter. Who knew? [Darth Vader Garter by Kizette, $22.50.]
It’s a bit pricey, but this bracelet is my favorite #etsyday find. [Star Wars Charm Bracelet by Artista Muerta, $48.]
There are an awful lot of t-shirts on Etsy, but I found this one rather charming. [Graf Vader by Workplay, $15.]
No Etsy roundup is complete without a bag! [Flowers for Alderaan Purse by DAME Creations, $22.]
Of all the things I’ve come to expect on Etsy, a complete bathroom theme set has to be the most surprising… Yet completely natural. The only thing I should really be shocked at is that they haven’t apparently made a liscensed one yet. (Or have they?)
We’ve seen bedroom gear and dishware (The Phantom Menace ones were better) but bathroom products? Suddenly I’m seeing a new use for my Darth Vader pimp cup. [Vintage Star Wars Bath Sets by Greatful Thread, $165.]
(Check back later today for more Etsy gems!)
Flickr user Krupp has two Yoda-themed cross-stitches – Do or Do Not, above, and Luminous Beings Are We. Also: Tardis!
