Hello Lisa T-Shirt

Mona Lisa Hello Kitty T-Shirt

Every once in awhile I come across a particularly girly geek craft. Craftster user Inara says,

“I recently did a painting of Hello Kitty as the Mona Lisa for a swap, and the whole thing turned out so amusingly good that I took my concept drawings, cleaned them up a bit and made a screen.”

Bonus coolness: glow-in-the-dark paint!

Optimus Prime Made of Cans

Optimus Prime
More than meets the eye? Robyn Lee of Required Eating posted this picture of Optimus Prime made out of cans, taken by Matt Boulton. Apparently, there’s an annual contest in Vancouver where artists make all sorts of amazing sculptures from canned food. After the event, it’s all donated to food banks. They’ve got pictures of entries from the past four years - definitely worth a look.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Amigurumi

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Amigurumi
Craftster user Falwyn crocheted these super cute Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dolls for her kids, based on Atsuko’s pattern. Falwyn made the shells differently than Atsuko, and provided those directions in her post. Personally, I would have made the shells bigger, but all in all, this would make a great little gift for geeks large and small.
