FoE & Tell: Fairy Lanterns, Caring Cats, & A Life-Sized Kevin

It's time for more of my favorite FOE finds! (FOE is Fans of Epbot, a fan-run Facebook group.) I don't see everything that gets posted over there, since you guys are pretty prolific, but here come a few of my favorites that crossed my feed:

Btw, I freely admit I fangirl the most over your faces and your creations, so this roundup is mostly things you guys have made. I'd love to see more of your selfies, too, though; especially the ones where you're at fun places or trying new things or celebrating some milestone. Makes me feel like I know you guys better. Is that sappy? 'Cuz I'm OK with sappy. ;)

Right, 'nuff blather: ON TO THE CRAFTS!

Starting with some seasonal Mickey wreath adorableness from Vanessa:

Vanessa made this last Fall, and she's been updating us on FOE as she changes it for different holidays:

St. Patrick's Day

And Halloween! Love those colors together.

I can't wait to see what you do for Spring, Vanessa!

 You might remember Allison from when she made the baby-sized Iron Throne. Well, she's at it again for her kidbot's birthday party, and this year she really... UP'ed... her game:

She made a life-sized Kevin!!

Just look how happy little "Carl" is:

So much cute, and talk about party goals! (Allison, I'm thinking about throwing myself a birthday party this year for the first time ever. We should talk. :D)

Best of all, Allison made an Instructable for Kevin! Go check that out if you'd like to make your own fine feathered friend.

 And now, Words of Wisdom from Kelly:

Thank you, Kelly. Never change.

Wait wait, one more, because this comment thread has been my favorite thing today:

All the sugar-crazed .gifs, bahahaha!

*****

Ahem.

Back to pretty crafts!

 Sara made a cement dragon egg... and I'm honestly speechless:

(Check out Sara's IG account for more pretties)

WOW. This reminds me of the tiny galaxy in the cat's collar from Men In Black 2. (Remember that?)

 Also I think Sara's talking about this Buzzfeed article, although her egg looks pretty different. By which I mean better. ;)

 Meg transformed a plain white dresser into an oh-so-cool stack of suitcases:

I like how she painted little nail heads on some of the drawers, and even the "seams" where the suitcases close. They look so real!

*****

And finally, Jade made one of those things that made me want to drop everything and go shopping for materials:

MAGIC!!

 John and I just saw some little fairy doors and mushroom at the dollar store, too. Hmmmm....

While I brainstorm, here come a couple closeups: 

The light inside makes all the difference! So lovely.

I hope this helped inspire you to make stuff that makes you happy -  or maybe to eat a few more cookies. :p Thanks to all the friendly FoE here for letting us share your posts and photos!

(Everything here is shared with permission, so a quick shout-out to John for doing all the logistical work of tracking everyone down to ask! Thanks, Sweetie!)
