Craftster user Cya made this great 8-bit Final Fantasy patch on her embroidery machine. Being a fairly new owner of an embroidery machine, I am super impressed that she made something with so many different colors… not easy on that machine!

Robots and robot crafts continue to be quite popular. Robots are being made in so many different styles, there’s a robot for everyone. Take this polymer clay jewelry by Craftster user lemonyaura… these are the kind of robots I dig. Cute and sparkly!

Craftster user RachelKristin made this fun Super Mario cross-stitch with Raccoon Mario, who I always think is so cute. She says,

Here’s a Dr. Who craft that I missed last week. Flickr user Futuregirl_LeahRiley started with a store-bought pouch and then created a Tardis with felt, embroidery and paper.

I found this awesomeness in Flickr user ashe-villain’s photostream. She carved this great little Ebola virus into a rubber stamp. You could make some fun Get Well Soon cards with this one!

Oh, my word. I think these are the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. Craftster user giddygirly needle-felted presidents for a  contest. She says,

“I entered a contest to celebrate the release of a new book (titled “Beards of our Forefathers”) and so I made a set of US presidents who wore beards. Except Garfield, because Garfield isn’t funny.

Each president is approx. 3 inches tall, and their heads are about the size of a penny or nickel.”

Every once in awhile I come across a particularly girly geek craft. Craftster user Inara says,

“I recently did a painting of Hello Kitty as the Mona Lisa for a swap, and the whole thing turned out so amusingly good that I took my concept drawings, cleaned them up a bit and made a screen.”

Bonus coolness: glow-in-the-dark paint!
