I’m not going to say that the creations of Your Organ Grinder aren’t a little on the weird side, because they are. I mean, they’re felt organs. But they’re also kind of rad. Particular favorites here include the brain necklace, brain hairclip, and nose embroidery hoop.
The Best Colleges Online has posted an infographic entitled The Sacred Order of Geeks that mentions various types of geek like Apple Geek, Star Wars Geek, Film Geek and… wait for it… Craft Geek. It describes a Craft Geek as:
I’ve no idea what the television comment means or has to do with us crafty geeks. What do you think in general about this infographic?
The folks over at NicNacNoodle have cooked you up a scrummy Princess Leia headband tutorial.
The best bit is ,you don’t have to knit or crochet or anything like that! Infact this’d be a great rainy day project to keep the kids busy (and keep them geeky!)
Now you can dress up as Princess Leia without using 3 tins of hairspray, WINNING!
Spring is starting to turn into summer. Change is in the air. Squirrels are finding their autumn treasures. Some lucky acorns will grow into mighty trees. Does are throwing baby showers for one and another in the woods and birds are looking for some action.
I have a feeling my favorite naturalist enjoyed this time of year. 
My hats off to The Greedy Crocodile for her felted busts. If you are more of a physics or literature kind of person, her shop includes some luminaries from those fields.
She’s also got an amazing sculpture of my girl, Marie Curie. I hope to see some more famous women in the future as well!
Allow me to introduce you to Noel Cruz, re-painter of dolls. He takes dolls that are mass-produced to look like celebrities/characters and refashions them to look more realistic and lifelike.
While he has (re)created literally hundreds of dolls, from Bette Davis to Robert Pattinson, of particular interest to us geeks is his work on J.R.R. Tolkien‘s characters from Lord of the Rings. Behold Aragorn and Arwen, as recreated by his very precise brushstrokes.
The Before and After shots are very impressive – the Before’s look so flat, and the After’s look like they belong in Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum.
Which beloved characters would you pay big money to have recreated in doll-form like this?
