This handcrafted Etch a Sketch (or “i-Sketch”) iPhone case is certainly eye catching, plus it would be a nice paring with an Etch a Sketch app.

Even if you can’t get your hands on any absinthe, you can still have visions of the green fairy thanks to this lamp from Alandia. Apparently, each model is hand crafted from bronze and Tiffany glass in accordance with an original produced by artist Paul Behrens in 1923. As the product page suggests, I have to imagine a room filled with the green light produced from this lamp has to be pretty damn trippy.

Some people find security in a blanket, a teddy bear or a special article of clothing. Tomorrow’s mass murderers find comfort from their twisted visions with the Cuddleskull pillow. Each limited edition, handmade pillow comes with a two color serigraph and a sticker.

Okay, so it’s felt bacon—but this iPhone case still reminds you of bacon (and we always want to be reminded of those we love). Plus it probably still tastes better than tofu.
From Fashionably Geek: Hey ladies. If a guy walks past you, stares at your breasts and simultaneously licks his lips—don’t be offended. This time he is probably staring at your handmade s’mores necklace. An additional image is available after the break.
A clever but simple design, these arcade joystick coat hooks can be ordered and customized with different colors, 1 or 2 player buttons and the like. You could probably build one yourself…but that requires effort. Think about it. An additional image is available after the break.
These hand-blown glass bombons are intended to hold everything from flowers to fish with bizarre designs that include an octopus, fish, dog and cat. The latter two are pictured after the break.
Matryoshka dolls or nesting / stacking dolls consist of a wooden figures that fit one inside the other—a Russian tradition that dates back to 1890. Famous politicians have always been a popular subject, which is why an Obama-themed version should come as no surprise. The hand-painted designs even incorporate folk-art touches for added authenticity.

Inspired by “the retro designs of old bowling alleys, diners and tine toys from the 30’s through the 60’s” artist Toby Fraley has designed a line of whimsical robot lamps that are sure to delight and confuse all who gaze upon them. Each design is handmade out of mostly recycled parts so don’t be shocked when you see the price (you are paying a hefty “art” premium). Other designs in the series are pictured after the break.
These automated sculptures entitled “Which is the Mask” sprang forth from the mind of artist Dan Torpey. When the button on the base is pressed, each handmade figure will raise a mask to their face—revealing that they want to stick their tongue out at the world. I’m holding out for the “Which is the Middle Finger” version.
