This weekend my daughter, husband, and I checked out the Spectrum Fantastic Art Live! convention in Kansas City. Spectrum publishes an annual art book featuring “a regular showcase for the best fantasy, science fiction, horror, and otherwise uncategorizable artwork”. This is the first year they have also hosted an art fair/trade show “for those who take delight in the worlds of What If?…”
According to the show guide book, “Fantastic art can be a slightly skewed, off-kilter view of reality or a full-blown creation of imaginary lands and the people–and creatures–that live there.” Given that definition, the art fair definitely provided examples of the fantastic – from fairies to the macabre, there was a little something for everyone.

I did try, and I failed. When I see things like this, I just feel so craftily (that’s a word now) inept. Though I have attempted to try and crochet (with minimal success), my skills are far below things like this. I envy those that are talented like this.

Who isn’t addicted to the Legend of Zelda? It has worked its way into the ranks of Best Video Game Ever list. Link has slashed his way through countless enemies and into the hearts of many of us. While doing a bit of geeky research earlier today, I found an etsy shop that is sure to please any Zelda lover.
Grandma Thunderpants! has an amazing collection of poly clay creations including this Link necklace. Give her etsy shop a look for some incredible creations!
It’s not hard to realize that no matter what kind of geek you are, whatever you do involves using your hands and fingers at some point. Whether it’s typing away on a keyboard, working a game controller, or creating something in craft or art, use of the hands and fingers ends up being involved. That’s why it’s important to take good care of your hands and keep them warm.
Gayla Oglesby has come up with the perfect pair of mittens for your geek of the binary nature. While designed to appeal to the programmer and Linux lover, these Geek Mittens are geeky enough for anyone to want to wear. She even provides the chart for them here.
I am always amazed at the patience required with peyote stitch beading. I could never do that. I would throw everything across the room, swearing. This ring by Flickr-er sallaevilincarnate is awesome. Because some days, you just need a 1up.
