Geek Crafts

Let’s face it: Zombies are awesome. There isn’t any denying it, so it’s time to embrace it! LovieDovieAnn made this I Heart Zombies pillow for a friend, the perfect way to let the world know how you really feel about our undead friends. (via craftster).

And how  can you ignore a Zombie Cupcake? Honestly, just say the words “Zombie Cupcake” and tell me it doesn’t bring a smile to your face, even better when you realize it isn’t a punk band, but an actual baked treat. Porcalina posted this yummy ode to Zombies to her Flickr stream.

Hey, zombie kids are still kids, right? Why should a little zombie girl miss out on Girl Scouts just because she’s undead and likes to eat brains? She shouldn’t! So take a look at these Zombie Girl Scout Merit Badges that Wheezyx posted on craftster.

And if your zombie kiddies are into the outdoors, you might want to keep them from this summer camp, where “zombie killing” class happens right after arts & crafts. This Zombie Summer Camp Shirt was made and posted on craftster by Ladypie, complete with a big bloody hand print on the back.

The I Heart Zombies T-Shirt that daymoth made for her step-son’s birthday with stencils and posted it on craftster.

I adore this clever needle-felted iPhone cozy made by UrbanCraft – what’s even better is that she’s actually the owner of a pink Motorola flip phone:

She listed the apps on her flickr page, from top left to right:
easy wi-fi, youtube, clock, flickr
wordpress, calendar, stocks, weather
iTurn, french, iLuna, projects
google earth, sketchpad, Obama, calculator
phone, mail, Safari, iPod

I also loved her rocket ship to disguise a thermostat

and her gorgeous Coraline mystery box, including this tiny sweater, for this spring’s swap.

Nicely done on all counts!

Kelly Szpunar at HunkyDory comes up with the best stuff. When this originally landed in my inbox I was thrilled,then disappointed as Halloween was over and geek crafts had been pretty well costumed…but after some discussion, it was decided that these amazing Doctor Who Costumes were too cool to hang onto until next year. The Doctor is so well done! And the take on the Dalek is too cool, I love that it is an “outfit” made to look Dalek-y and not a full Dalek suit made of carboard and spray painted tennis balls! And the super Doctor Who geek in me is thrilled that someone went as a TARDIS, since the TARDIS is supposed to be a living entity, after all.

The detail is incredible in Craftster user Dark Seraphim‘s cross-stitch of Rorschach from Watchmen. I’m always impressed with large works of needlework.
