Hooks and Needles posted this Futurama inspired Gender Bender Amigurumi on Whip Up. I wish I had words to describe how funny and absolutely genius this Bender doll is! Even people who don’t even watch Futurama were falling out of their chairs laughing when I passed this photo around!
Who didn’t love the Iron Man movie? Here are ten of the most awesome Iron Man craft projects that you can do for $20 grand or less…most of them a LOT less!
The Popular Mechanics website featured this “home made” Iron Man suitcrafted by Norweigan costume enthusiast, John Kristiansen and a group of his friends that call themselves TMP. They attempted to create this costume before the May release of the Iron Man film, with nothing but promo pictures of the suit and twenty-thousand dollars.
Yes, you read that correctly! Kristiansen and his pals spent TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS on this realistic costume. It came out so close to perfect that Paramount hired Kristiansen to make appearances around Europe to promote the DVD release, and he plans to use it for charity fundraisers and to talk to children about saftey, saying:
you may not listen to your parents, but if Iron Man tells you to wear a bike helmet, you’re going to do it.
So next time you have an extra twenty thousand sitting around, consider building a costume for a major-blockbuster film!
Attackofthevintage posted this Spaceship Quilted Post Card on Etsy. I’m not sure which is better, the funky space ship imagery or the fact that all the materials she used for this quilted project came from things she had around the house.
Flickr user monikalel42 posted her Star Trek cross-stitch in the Geek Crafts photo pool. She included Scotty, Chekov, McCoy, Chapel, Kirk, Uhura, Spock, Sulu and Rand.
Geekcrafter Thea submitted this awesome knit hat of a Cylon Centurion from Battlestar Galactica. Look closely – she even knit pieces in different directions so that it would look more like those indents on the Cylon’s head. You can find out how she made it on her blog, Lick the Light Switch.
Nicole posted these Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy jeans she did with fabric paint on her blog, Cole Can Craft. These pants are super-geeky-cool and who doesn’t love a pair of jeans that say “Don’t Panic” on your butt?
