Felt. Felt!

Some of the coolest, craziest, and most creative crafts come from Japan. My colleague Meg Leder has published some amazing craft books from there (Sock and Glove, Happy Gloves). Really fun stuff.

Here are some truly amazing Japanese creations. They aren't cuddly, exactly. I'm not sure what you would do with them. But they're remarkably life-like, which has to count for something, right? I think so. Maybe I'll buy the book and see how I do.
