Futurama Brain Slug Earrings

In honor of Shayne’s Brain Slug post, here is another great one. Artist Lauren Swingle crafted these awesome Futurama Brain Slug Earrings from polymer clay to feature on TheClayCollection‘s etsy page. I love them because they are cute, lime green, and I just saw the brain slug episode yesterday! Perfect for any Futurama fan, and no risk of these little guys actually sucking your brain.

Handknit Heroes

My favorite local yarn store, Twisted, posted about Stephanie Bryant’s Handknit Heroes recently and it sounds awesome!

From the Handknit Heroes site:

Imagine you’re a teenager, and you have some… special powers. Maybe even super powers. And one day, at a sleepover, your best friend in the whole world tells you—you’re not alone. So begins the adventure for a couple of teenagers, a single mom and yarn shop owner, and a whole bunch of hand knitted fun. Handknit Heroes is the first graphic novel for knitters. Each issue features a great storyline with knitting superheroes, terrific artwork, and a beautiful (and easy) knitting pattern.

Along with copies of the comic books, Twisted also carries the pattern to knit up these superhero goggles from the series.

You can order current and back issues here at the Handknit Heroes site, and check out action photos from Sock Summit over here!
