Human Face Baseball Cap: An Extra Face for Your Head

There are certainly some wild and crazy products to be found and impulsively purchased on Etsy. Case in point, this Human Face Baseball Cap crafted and sold by Sabri Tunca of Feltthink. Even reading ‘Human Face Baseball Cap,’ it’s somehow even more terrifying than I had imagined. I have to hand it to Sabri, I’m not surprised that easily.

The $168 felted Face Hat is made from 100% natural merino wool dyed by Sabri, who uses traditional wet felting and needle felting techniques to create the hats. Each is made to order in the size requested, so you don’t have to worry about getting a face too big for your head. That’s a relief.

You’ll definitely spend some time on the Jumbotron if you wear this to a baseball game, which is exactly what I plan on doing. Plus wearing a t-shirt with my company logo and contact information for some free advertising. Am I a marketing genius? I’d like to think so, at least if I can manage not to wear my shirt inside-out this time.

The Shining Jack Torrance Head Bookend: Here’s Johnny!

Looking for the perfect bookend to display alongside your Stephen King horror novel collection? Well, look no further than this Jack Torrance ‘Here’s Johnny!’ bookend handcrafted by Etsy seller KomenzaSculpture. I’ll be honest though, I wouldn’t want to wake up in the middle of the night and see ol’ Jack here staring back at me with that unhinged look of his.

Available for $246, the psychological horror heads are made from clay, ceramic gypsum, and resin. They measure approximately 12″ x 8″ x 8″, making them slightly larger than a real human head. Except for mine. I have a monster of a noggin. I say that’s because it’s filled with a lot of brains, but my wife argues it’s actually rocks and cobwebs.

I’ve never read The Shining, but I have watched the movie multiple times, and every time I do I have nightmares for a few nights. Between the Grady twins, the corpse woman in room 237, and Jack’s descent into madness, I sleep with the lights on and hold it till morning no matter how badly I have to go to the bathroom.

You Can Make a Face Bookshelf Like This One

Despite the amount of content I consume via digital screens, I still like to dust off the occasional paperback when I’m feeling the need for something more tactile. While I store my books in an an ordinary IKEA bookshelf, I’d much rather have one of these shelves that looks like a giant face.

Art and Creative Director Alexi McCarthy created this cool and unique shelving unit in the shape of a cartoon face. The squared-off jaw and simple eyeballs remind me of the doodles I used to draw in my notebooks as a kid.  As shown below, this guy looks best with white book covers for his teeth, while his hair could be black, brown, or possibly something more colorful if you’re going for a punk rock look. I actually think I’d stack just a few taller books in the middle and give him a mohawk.

Alexi has been asked if he has any plans to produce the shelf, but for now has decided to share instructions on his website (for personal use only), so you can build one for yourself. The design doesn’t look that difficult to build, assuming you have experience using a miter saw so you can get the angles right. If you decide to use the design, Alexi asks that you consider making a donation to Room to Read, a charity that helps support literacy and education for children in low-income communities.

Star Wars Beauty Face Masks: Use the Moisturizer, Luke!

If you’ve spent any time over in Japan, you know that those stick-on beauty masks are everywhere. They come in all kinds of designs, from panda bears to Hello Kitty. Now, Star Wars fans can get in on the moisturizing goodness too!

Beauty product maker Isshin Do is making face masks that make you look like some of your favorite Star Wars characters.

Yes, now you can walk around the house looking like the Dark Lord of the Sith while at the same time improving your complexion. Each single-use face pack contains a mix of water, glycerin, water-soluble collagen, Vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid, which sounds like a skin-melting chemical developed by the Empire to make Rebel scum talk.

In addition to Darth Vader, the masks come in Chewbacca, Stormtrooper, Darth Maul, and C-3PO designs, so you can stomp around in your slippers and quote the odds that your mask will come off in one piece.

If you live in Japan, you should be able to find them at a variety of retailers for about ¥438 each (~$4 USD). Overseas, you can order them from the Japan Trend Shop, where they’re going for $31 for a 3-pack.
