Do you hear me, fabulous! I found Shapeways, the online marketplace for 3D objects and models, rocking a booth full of little things their community had designed. This service is really cool, and if you’re a crafty type or decent in Maya or Blender, you should check it out. There are a couple options for materials, and the sort of amber-colored hard plastic, as you see with the face-bowl, looks beautiful when polished (plus it’s super strong). Unfortunately they don’t polish it for you, but you got two good hands, why don’t you use ‘em?

There’s no real news here, just a couple pictures of the little objects you can cause to be made.
