Russian Criminal Tattoo Tshirts FTW

2010-07-16T17:07:00.000-07:00

Says the seller:

"The cat has been a symbol in Russian criminal tattoo culture since the beginning, partly because the cat abides by its own rules. There are many variations of the cat tattoo. The cat symbolizes a thief that is good at what he does. This tattoo can show a man's or woman's connection with the criminal world. The word CAT or "KOT" (in Russian)is an acronym as are many other normal words that are tattooed. KOT stands for "Korenoi Obitatel' Tyurmi" or "Native occupant of Jail" as in Jail is my second home.

On the back of the shirt is a German eagle MIR logo. Contrary to popular belief this eagle has been around long before the Nazis seized power and was probably stolen by them from Indian symbols, just like the swastika. This eagle is one of my favorite symbols and it stands for strength and freedom and anti-authority. Translated from Russian it means: "Strike first, Dont wait for them to hit you!"

MIR is a Russian word for "world". But its an acronym for "Menya Ispravit Rastrel" meaning "Execution will Reform Me".

OK then.

Is it just me, or does this person know a lot about Russian criminal tattoos?

The Uncozy Season: A Craftophile's Lament

2010-07-02T09:04:00.000-07:00

Friends, it's no wonder I started this blog on a cold day in March (that would be 2009, for those of you who care). Yes, it was the height of cozy season here in NYC, a time when everyone longs to throw another sweater on the fire (did I get that idiom wrong?). Even inanimate objects seem to require outerwear.

It was in those heady, frigid days that Kraftomatic was born.

But now it's July.

What's a crafter to do when really no part of the body needs a sweater?

I bring you knitted earbud covers.

Instructables shows you how to knit your own.

And with that, I wish you a warm and fuzzy 4th.

Statistics Made Cuddly

2010-06-13T08:58:00.000-07:00

Says the seller:
"There are vertical lines (in either pale teal or lilac) depicting the center of the distribution (where 50% of the area is above and below), then moving out to capture the middle 68% of the distribution, then moving out to the middle 95% of the distribution, and the middle 99.5%. However, only the left-most cut off for the 95% and 99.5% portions of the data are displayed. The right-most cuts of extend beyond this plushie. On the back side of the plushie is an embroidered logN(0,1) denoting that this is a log normal distribution plushie."

That seems reasonable.

Dead Weight

The heart just makes me laugh. These are statement pieces, aren't they? (I'm not sure what the statement is.)

Highly Questionable

2010-05-07T16:52:00.000-07:00

This hat apparently tells the story of an artificial insemination gone wrong.

Says the seller: "Comes with used zombie semen syringes (no needles)."

Let's move on.

The creator of these decidedly unsubtle steering wheel covers says she made them so you'll never be alone while you're driving.

Oh, the irony.

Tetris style

2010-04-29T19:33:00.000-07:00

Says the seller: "I spent nearly four hours just cutting all of the little squares and stitching each one on with coordinating thread colors."

OK then.

No shirt? No free hands? No problem.

2010-04-28T20:11:00.000-07:00

Here's something we don't have in New York City.

No, not straight single men. I mean beer holsters.

Bathroom humor never looked cuter. Or something.

2010-04-28T19:57:00.000-07:00

Says the seller: "Perfect for a cute and funny present, or for yourself to add a little touch of cuteness to your bathroom."

I'm just the messenger.

Monty Python fans take note: King Arthur and the Black Knight, rendered in polymer clay.

Oh, and they're robots.

Maybe you don't have to take note after all.

Carry on.

Mom's little problem is getting worse

2010-04-25T17:58:00.000-07:00

She's running out of things to cozy -- and bottles to have "just a sip" of.

For the man who has every Johnny Cash album

2010-04-24T08:56:00.000-07:00

Scented with Cherry Almond or Cool Water scents. I would have guessed peanut butter and bacon. Or maybe despair.

Rosie as ever

2010-04-22T20:49:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since we last checked in on Rosie O'Donnell and her creations. The money goes to charity, so let's just leave it at that.

Says the seller:

Any questions?

The name says it all

2010-04-17T22:00:00.000-07:00

Says the seller: "This little felt bird can be whatever your child imagines it to be. A pheasant, a chicken, a cornish game hen, the possibilities are endless!"

Now I'm confused.

Meet Tassle.

2010-04-14T18:33:00.000-07:00

Apparently he's an oeufling.

You know, a forgotten Easter egg.

It's possible I've been looking at handcrafted items a little too long.
