LEGO Bonsai Tree: Trimming One Pixelated Leaf at a Time

LEGO Bonsai

The funnest part about people is that they have free well, a wild imagination, and clever ingenuity. At least, some of them anyway.

Artist Makes Some Kickass Star Wars Terrariums

Seems like today is Star Wars day (considering this post if you came here directly), but we don’t mind because hey, we love the films. What you see above is a 5 inch terrarium featuring none other than Yoda, chillin on Tatooine. One Tony Larson makes these and sells them from his Etsy shop.
