CRIME SCENE RUG

Found via Oddee, picture via Lazy Bones
You can turn any place into a crime scene with this portable Crime Scene Rug sold by Lazy Bones, a UK based novelty company,  for what would be around $20 USD plus shipping and handling.  

It even comes with its own attachable/detachable Velcro handle for carrying and storing so all you have to do is roll it up and go.

PAC MAN RUG

As I am a lover of all things PacMan, when I saw this over at Oddee as part of a post of "13 Unusual Rugs" I knew I had to post it here. 

The link back is to Daddytypes which reports it was one of two 7 x10 ft rugs that were hand-woven in Portugal by a  Swedish design firm, "Our Childrens Gorilla".  It is quoted in the article Pac-Man carpet from Our Childrens Gorilla, 15,000 SEK, roughly USD1830, shipped,  however, when I visited the site I did not find any rugs.   $1,830 is way out of my price range anyway and I don't really have any place to put it either, but this would have been a fun rug to have when my son was little - I can just picture him racing his Hot Wheels around the maze - it would be a fun rug for a kids room.

Cigarette Butt Rug

I never thought that cigarettes served any useful purpose until I saw this rug over at Craftzine and was made by artist Jesús "Bubu" Negrón from his blog at http://www.universes-in-universe.de/car/sharjah/eng/2007/tour/img-23.htm


What an interesting and unique upcycle!
