We recently covered a few projects that make digital content tangible, like the [Polaroid Cacher](http://www.prote.in/feed/2013/01/polaroid-cacher?ref=protein.xyz) which prints physical snapshots of web-browser screenshots, or the [3D Printed Record](http://www.prote.in/feed/2013/01/3d-printed-record?ref=protein.xyz), crafted using an mp3 file. The digital to analog trend continues with an initiative that focuses exclusively on your Facebook content.

Presented by the [Creator's Project](http://thecreatorsproject.com/?ref=protein.xyz), users have the option of making three different sculptures via special Facebook apps. Crystallized, designed by [SOFTlab](http://softlabnyc.com/?ref=protein.xyz), is a unique representation of your Facebook relationships; Monster Me, designed by [Sticky Monster Lab](http://www.stickymonsterlab.com/?ref=protein.xyz), transforms you into a playful toy in a custom universe; and Astroverb (available soon), designed by [Sosolimited](http://www.sosolimited.com/?ref=protein.xyz), generates a personalized zodiac. The apps are free to use, but once your personalized sculptures are created, it will cost around $20 to 3D print them via [Shapeways](http://www.shapeways.com/?ref=protein.xyz).

Critics might be quick to point out that the Facebook website takes up enough of our time as it is, so why bring it into the 'physical' world, but the sculptures are quite charming and represent strong strides in data viz and 3D printing.
