Boobs and Dinks Early Detection Kits by Mike Frank
While testicular and breast cancer is something we might not want to think about, Shanon Gerdard uses humor to eliminate some of the fear surrounding that dreaded monthly self-exam. Her Boobs and Dinks Early Detection Kits include crocheted breasts or penises that contain small lumps that can be found by following instructions provided in the accompanying booklets. On top of everything else, she donates $5 from every sale to Cottage Dreams, a cancer recovery initiative in Haliburton, Ontario.
All seriousness aside, who won't love to receive some handcrafted boobies or a penis in the mail?!

Best of the Brooklyn Flea: Keep It Moving Knit Plants
A small booth headed up by a woman as nice as her creations are clever, Keep It Moving Design sells knit plants. Each hand-knit specimen comes in a pot with its own name. Most are flexible due to wire armature and some even have moss. She has some great vintage-like jewelry pieces and some embroidered men's ties too. All depends on what she's been...

Galen Trezise Crocheted Cozies
From the newly-opened Look boutique in SF, these handmade cozies have all the warm appeal of a sweater grandma made with an offbeat Dr. Seuss shape. According to the site, they're intended for vases but we think they'd be well-suited for dressing up a different household object that holds water and plant matter. With unusual colorways, ruffles and perforated weaves, they also hold their...

Multipolar Projects: It's Really Really Really OK
As a woodworker myself I understand the monotony and borderline insanity of a repeated task. (Yesterday alone I made over 1,000 notches in some wood blanks to make boxes.) However, when it's all done, there's definitely beauty in the results and therapy in repetition. That said, Chicago-based artist Sighn has taken on the mother of all projects, hand-cutting 1,000,000 wooden "ornaments" each with the...

Papercraft Steaks
Seeing as rising food and fuel prices may make steak an unattainable luxury for all but the wealthiest people in the future, it's good to know that at least there will be papercraft steaks to fill that sucking void that will be left on our plates—much the way poverty-stricken peasants in inland China used to have wooden fish on the table during banquets. There's...

T-Dream is Alessi's collection of tees featuring graphics designed by eight world-renowned designers produced to benefit the children's rights organization Amici dei Bambini. Designers include Robert Venturi (pictured left) Martí Guixé, Michael Graves, Philippe Starck and Aldo Rossi (pictured right).

Stephen Burks: Cappellini Love
Yesterday at the Fiera Milano, walking through the sprawling campus of the supergroup Poltrona Frau, I ran into the New York designer Stephen Burks, who took a moment to chat with me about his new line of eco-conscious ware for Italian manufacturer Cappellini. Called Cappellini Love, the collection is comprised of a series of vases and bowls made from glass fragments, and a small...
