I first heard of this AMAZING site in a story on NPR. At that time, the atmosphere around here was a bit discouraged. Money was tight and future was uncertain. (Now I realize, with some comfort and some frustration, that the future is always uncertain.) To hear a story about talented, unique, crazy people facing the same economy with creativity and panache was so inspiring, and it played an important part in the positive changes I was beginning to make.
All different types of people post on the site. There is information for all interests, all skill levels, all positions on the weirdness spectrum.
These days, I go there on a regular basis when I need to kickstart my creativity or shake myself out of a gloomy mood. Some of my favorite tutorials on the site are:
The Coffee Bag Wallet, of which I've made several. In fact, you want one?
Plastic Bottle Flowers, which I find to be an exceptionally beautiful and creative way to use garbage.
Optimus Prime Costume
Just visit Instructables for a minute or two. I GUARANTEE it will make you smile.
