Panier Perc�: Embroider Yourself a Bowl

When you think embroidery you're probably not also thinking dishes, but the Panier Percé by Guillaume Delvigne & Ionna Vautrin is just that: a bowl you embroider yourself. It's a kit that includes a naked white glazed porcelain bowl and a set of embroidery materials/instructions of your choice. Not only is an embroidered bowl like this fairly unique to have around, but how often do you get the chance to make a project out of and create your own designer item? 136,00 €

Built-It-Yourself Cars

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Wheels

When I think about putting cars together, I think of two things: built-it-yourself model car kits and taking my car to the mechanic. The complexity of a "real" car is often what keeps novices away from tinkering with them - along with the fear of not being able to get it back together properly. Mitsuoka Motors, a Japanese auto company, just introduced the "K-4", a micro car for one that you can assembled yourself with the instructions they provide with it. The K-4 is ideal for those who want to be "hands-on" with cars, or just don't have need of a full-sized vehicle. It still takes about 40 hours to put together the 500+ pieces, but it looks to be easier than a conventional vehicle. The car is about 8-feet long and has a maximum speed of 31 miles per hour. Price (approx): $6,460.
