I visited Bonnie Burton at Lucasfilm in San Francisco recently where she works her crafty magic creating projects on starwars.com for the kids section of the site. Take a look and enjoy some of the fun projects she makes. All I can say is how much I love the Yoda fountain!

Here's are the links to the project how-tos mentioned in the video:

Yoda Doll - Link.
Chewie Tissue Box Cozy - Link.
R2D2 Pinhole Camera - Link.
Mouse Droid Cat Toy - Link.
Hammerhead Sock Doll - Link.
Super Deformed Dolls - Link.

Check out also the archive to all the Star Wars crafts projects and more photos of the projects on Bonnie's Flickr.

Yodadolls Makerfaire
Bonnie taught one of the most popular craft workshops at Maker Faire Bay Area last year -- How to make a Yoda doll. Here are some crafters showing off what they made! See more photos in Bonnie's Flickr set. - Link.

Please, please, please put videos and other large attachments below the fold in your RSS feed. This article has 360MB of goo attached to it and you regularly have blog articles with hundreds of megabytes of attachments, particularly videos. These huge attachments bring my newsreader to its knees. I've gotten to the point where I dread MAKE Friday's because of this problem.

I apologize for the double post. The comment page told me I had entered an incorrect security code and to go back and re-enter it.

just an update - dean said it was mail.app but every other reader seems to be OK -- so for now we're not going to change anything.
