The above Proboscian Sippy Mask is a cool entry in the costumecon from Jennifer Maestre. This would make for part of a very cool alien Halloween outfit. You can actually drink while wearing the bizarre mask. Be sure to check the Etsy listing (via Craftzine) because there is an awesome photo of the Proboscian mask under a black light.
One cool thing about this mask- it has a drinking tube up the proboscis. Nothing stinks more than having to remove your face each time you'd like a sip of something tasty at a party! Plus, it looks wicked pissah, watching red wine run up the tube.
Jennifer Maestre is very talented. Check you all these sculptures she makes with pencil tips.
Here's a cute Valentine's Day craft idea that's also quick and easy to make. It's a one-eyed heart or one-googly-eyed heart Valentine. Kids will love the Valentine's googly eye. You need seven items: scissors, card stock in different colors, hole punch, red yarn, glue, googly eyes and a marker.

In this video Madeline Merced - the How to Girl - teaches you how to easily make a cool and pretty Origami Valentine. Here's what you'll need.
scissors,
a ruler,
an assortment of origami paper (found at many craft stores),
and something sweet to add to your Valentine!
Madeline filled her Origami Valentine box with candy hearts that say sweet things like Be Mine and I Love You. Another good idea for your origami box would be those Valentine M&M's.
The BristleBot is an from Evil Mad Scientist Labratories - a great name for a company making bots. They define a BristleBot as a a simple and tiny robot with an agenda. It is the Evil Mad Scientist Lab's take on the vibrobot, a type of robot that is controlled by a single vibrating (eccentric) motor. To make a BristleBot you need one toothbrush, a battery, and a pager motor. You can find some instructions here on EMSL's website and in the video below.
