Craftster user poe poe etched the Magic: The Gathering logo on a set of glasses for a lucky friend for Christmas. She also put manna symbols on the bottoms of each glass – click through to see more photos. Maybe some day I’ll dig out my glass etching kit and give this a try.

Crocheted Dark Mantle
I love, love, love this one! Craftster user sprocketfish crocheted a dark mantle from Dungeons & Dragons. The detail is great – the eyes, the tentacle suction thingies. And it’s a hat! This was an anniversary gift for her very lucky boyfriend.
“Nothing says “I love you” like a fictional cave-dwelling squid… “
So true, sprocketfish!
Spider-man Sock Monkey
Craftster user SeeMellySew posted her super-detailed Spider-man sock monkey. Check out all the webbing. I cannot let my little guy see this, a combination of two of his favorite things, because I am just not that crafty.

Tachikoma
Geek Crafts reader Blake submitted this awesome amigurumi Tachikoma made by Flickr user joyjoyang. Blake was also kind enough to tell me what the Tachikoma is from:
Tachikoma are the super-badass sentient mini-tanks from the anime Ghost In The Shell. Besides being deadly weapons, they are also rather cute. I think joyjoyang did a swell job.
A swell job, indeed. Be sure to click through to joyjoyang‘s Flickr to see more impressive amigurumi.
Plant Cell Cross-section
Geek Crafts reader Jennifer submitted this great cross-stitched plant cell cross-section that she made for her botanist dad. It’s hanging in his office and she says that he gets all sorts of comments on it… not a surprise!
