This is my one-year-old nephew and niece (twins).
My older sister made them Halloween costumes:
Luke Skywalker and Princess Lea.
Sweet!
I have to admit – the lightsabers strike me as a little obscene.
I’m lobbying for them to go as “Siamese twins” next year.

Though the art of engraving designs onto metal currency pre-existed “Hobo Nickels,” when the American “Indian Head Nickel” was released in 1913, the art form took off. Given the large size and relative low cost of the nickel, this became the canvas of choice among hobos – often adding a hat and scruffy beard to the Indian portrait, making him into a hobo.
The Original Hobo Nickel Society (OHNS) is doing its best to keep this odd artform alive – take a look at their gallery of newly crafted Hobo Nickels.
