The thing I love about the intersection of geekdom and art is that we end up with some really ingenious and non-traditional mediums for creativity. For example, what was once an innocent champagne cork has been transformed into the ultimate evil – Darth Vader.
DIYer SJ Roth took an ordinary cork and embellished it with markers, clay, fabric, foam rubber, and even a little LED lightsaber to create the cutest little Vader you’ll see today.
You can learn how to make your own Cork Vader over on Instructables. And while you’re over there, be sure to check out SJ’s Mario Corky, Ezio Auditore Corky, and Iron Man Corky.
