What girl doesn’t want a nice piece of platinum jewelry for Christmas? ShopGibberish is selling this perfectly geeky Platinum Element Necklace on etsy. It comes with the above pictured re-purposed Scrabble tile and a handmade envelope explaining your chosen element (other Periodic Table pendants are available).
If there’s one thing I adore more than penguins, it is baby penguins! This cute little crocheted chick’s fluff almost looks real! Kendraic posted this Baby Penguin Amigurumi with a pattern on instructables, so you know where to go if you’d like to make this for me.
As the weather gets colder and the skies get more overcast, it’s nice to have something cute and colorful around. Check out this uber-cute Rainbow Brite Amigurumi from ShadyCreations‘ Etsy shop. She slipped this one in my inbox, lamenting that this particular amigurumi might not qualify as geeky, but it’s full of 80‘s nostalgia, and we like that around here!
So now that you’ve stuffed your face, it’s time to empty your wallet! Or, if you’re looking to save some cash, it’s time to get crafting! In honor of Black Friday (the shopaholic’s national holiday and every retail worker’s worst nightmare) here are some Black Crafts (note: not Dark Arts, that’s a differnent blog all together).
Chain Chomp Hat
The Knitting Ninja posted this Chain Chomp Hat on her blog. Chomps may not be the most commonly knitted Mario Bros villian, but they are the ones that look the coolest when they appear to be eating your head.
Mad Dog Softie
Morus sewed this Mad Dog Softie from the book “Softies Only A Mother Could Love” and posted it on craftster. He’s not particularly geeky, but he’s freaking adorable in an “I’m gonna bite your face off” sort of way.
Etys seller kishcraft made these amazingly tiny Twilight book earrings out of polymer clay. Tiny + Twilight = Awesome.
I don’t know how geeky it is, but when we were visiting my in-laws in England, my father-in-law showed us several episodes of Shaun the Sheep (by the same people who did Wallace and Grommit) and I just fell in love! It’s a great little claymation and Leelou has done such an amazing job recreating Shaun in this adorable Shaun the Sheep Crochet Doll that she posted on craftster.
