Adam West Batman Glitter Art

Adam West Batman Glitter ArtI have to admit, right off the bat, that I am not a fan of glitter art.  However, I think we would be doing the world a disservice if we did not admit that Adam West was born to be immortalized in glitter.  It has made me change my mind on the whole use of glitter as an art medium.

Luckily for me, and for my new found appreciation for glitter, TigerGalindo’s shop on Etsy has a slew of great glitter art for any occasion.  Some other celebrities that deserve glitter?  Elvis, Willie Nelson and maybe even Sarah Michelle Geller.

Check out the Glittery goodness!

Captain America Clips

It’s pretty apparent that I really like Captain America. He’s my favorite Avenger. With the Avengers movie quickly approaching, I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of a Captain inspired outfit. One of the most iconic pieces of his uniform (aside from the shield), are the wings on the side of his helmet. I decided that I was going to make my own version of those wings.

With some left over felt I had from other crafts, I cut out a pattern of the wings that I created. In order to get the to be able to clip in my hair, I cut a small opening on one side to slide the snap clip through. Hand-stitching two pieces of felt together I left the top open a little so that I could add a little bit of stuffing. Not a ton, just enough to give the clip a little plump. Lastly, I hand-stitched the lines to define the wings a bit more.

 

Overall, I think they’re going to be an excellent addition to my outfit for the midnight release of The Avengers. It was a really easy and super cheap craft.

Subtle, Geek Style

Let’s face it. As much as we don’t care to admit it, there are times in our lives in which we just can’t let our Geek Flag fly without some sort of repercussions. Sometimes, we have to tone it down just a notch or two. This leaves the question of “How can we geek up our wardrobe without being totally obvious?”

This purse by StellarCheri is the perfect example!

I would feel more like Real Self if I could carry this bag with me to those many meetings at the school board that I attend. It’s stylish, not over the top, cool and classy all rolled up into one purse! Check out StellarCheri‘s other wonderful creations!

“Is this a test?” – Captain America WWII Shield

With the most recent Avengers movie trailer released, it was high time for me to finally find some awesome Avengers crafts.

In my search for some Avengers crafts, I ran across this Instructable by MonkeyWork for a Less Than $20.00 WWII Captain America Shield .

Now, I”m not exactly sure why, but I’ve always liked this shield more than his circle shield. When it was first announced that they were doing a Captain America movie, I was terrified. Until this promotional picture came out. Once that picture hit the interweb, I was sold.

MonkeyWork’s instructable has very clear and easy to follow steps in making this iconic shield. With this instructable, I now have a new item to add to my gear for the midnight showing of The Avengers.

Girly Gone Geek: Batman Princess, plus Star Wars Princess

Though we’re months away from Halloween, what’s Valentine’s Day without a little sweetness?  Behold, the Batman Princess.

Batman Princess

As spotted on Comics Alliance, this post comes from Donkey’s tumblr page. Alas, with no commentary. I would love to know the backstory behind the costume, and the neighbors’ reactions.

Donkey’s tumblr page also links to her flickr album, where I found this little beauty – not quite Princess Leia, but a Star Wars princess, nonetheless.

I love how the little girl is allowed to embrace both her geeky and girly selves. How have you helped young girls feel empowered about their love of geeky things?
