hey guys,

a long time ago my friend Amy and I decided to do a Katamari Craft-Off. Here was her present for me:



a cross-stitched Kuro! I about crapped myself. It took me awhile, but here was my gift to her:



Opeo pushing a big collage katamari! Here's a detail shot:



I painted the background and just destroyed many an issue of Rolling Stone, SPIN, and Giant Robot to get the desired result.

About a month ago, she sent me this, and began Round Two. I'm not sure if I can top this:



There are more photos at my Flickr and also at my blog.

Yes, that's a sculpted, magnetic katamari with a little sculpted Prince and little sculpted magnetic items that attach to the katamari. HOLY MOSES. I am kicking around a few ideas as to how to respond, but all I know is that it's got to be gooooooood.

You could make her a katamari necklace.
I found these little Italian beads that look just like katamaris - if you could find those around, it would be simple to make a little clay Prince or something an put that in the middle.
Also, I've always wanted to make a huge, plush Columbo.  He looks cuddly.
There's always the plan of making the King out of bread, though.

I love Katamari!

i bought a cheap fabric purse from target and am working on embroidering the prince pushing a katamari on it and the words 'my, earth really is full of things' across the top.

slowly working. okay, so work has ceased for a while. it'll get done someday...

Perhaps make a planet and title it one of the random styles of planets that is in the actual Katamari games.

It's the only thing I can think of at this point.  That's pretty hard to outdo.

We need bigger, yes?

[DocNougat]

buy a globe and cut out a few of the countries and stick them to a katamari being rolled around by the prince. Or build a globe with magnetic countries and steal her magnetic katamari idea

nananananananana Katamari damacy.

Maybe you could convert a tennis ball into a katamari, but put velcro on it, so it can be rolled

Record yourself singing the katamari song into a hobby music box, place it into a homemade Prince felt doll so that whenever you hug it it will play the song!

Ummm, I might sound kinda dumb
But whats katamari?

I found this in the wiki

Unknown to most people, the coming of Katamari Damacy was prophesied in the Christian Bible:

    "Beware, the Lord is about to take firm hold of you
         and hurl you away, O you mighty man [the King of All Cosmos].
    He will roll you up tightly like a ball [the Katamari]
         and throw you into a large country."
                      -Isaiah 22:17-18 (NIV)
   
Stitch that on a cloth scroll maybe?
