Lunchbox Napkin Art by The Coolest Mom Ever

Remember those inspirational notes that Mom used to include in your lunchbox? Oh good, me neither. But a few kids named Archer and Ansel will surely remember theirs — because their notes are hand-drawn on napkins by their artist Mom, Nina Levy.

The best part… Nina takes requests. So, anything that the kids could dream up in their little heads, would appear in their lunchbox. Robin sitting on a Komodo dragon? Done. A Tyrannosaurus Rex and Tree Rex from Skylanders? No problem.

Check out more from the Daily Napkins project, which includes around 2,000 napkins over the past six years.

Crocheted Oreos Blanket

Whether you roll with just the chocolate cookie, the cream, or all of the above — you cannot deny the awesomeness and snuggling potential of the Crocheted Oreos Blanket. Brought to us by knitter/cookie enthusiast, Lisa James, the crochet pattern for the blanket is offered over at Free Patterns.

Life-Size Darth Vader Cake

Impressive… Most impressive. The Life-Size Darth Vader Cake is brought to us by Amanda Oakleaf — the same cake-maker that created the Life-Size Stormtrooper Cake.

When complete, the dark lord cake weighed just over 500 lbs, and stood 6 feet 7 inches tall. We can only imagine the sound it made when it was finally cut into.

Tomato Hairdo

The Tomato Hairdo is a style created by an Osaka salon called Trick Store. The do is officially titled, “Ripe Tomato,” in case you wanted to order one yourself. The salon that does the ‘Tomato’ is located in Osaka’s hipster youth district, Amemura.

So, of course, this young lady had a tomato head before it was cool. Never change, Japan.
