Lego Star Wars Princess Leia Cake
Craftster user mandys08 made this fab Lego Star Wars Princess Leia cake for her cousin’s birthday. She really got the facial expression from the video game down perfectly!
Doctor Who Regenerations Peg People
Peg people, like bow ties, are cool. Randomly Generated, maker of the Back To The Future Peg People we posted before, has made these incredibly cool Doctor Who Regenerations Peg People to represent each of The Doctor’s eleven regenerations! From the original Doctor to fish custard, and all your favorites in between. She is currently selling the whole set, but promises to make individual Doctors and custom sets, too! I love these!
Geek Crafts at Maker Faire!
If you are in the Bay Area (or can get there this weekend), don’t miss the magnificent Maker Faire! There is way too much going on to try to list here, but check out their list of makers and weekend schedule for tons of details. Here are a couple of things I’m most excited about…
Friend of geekcrafts Bonnie Burton is teaching a rad craft demo: make a paper-bag puppet of Admiral Akbar from her new Star Wars Craft Book. I went to her Yoda doll demo at Maker Faire a couple of years ago and it was amazing!
Meanwhile, Particle Zoo will have her excellent subatomic particle plushies for sale in the Bazaar Bizarre section. Her motto: It has to be scientifically accurate, and it has to be cute. (Thanks Rachel!)
Sugar Skull Kitties
What started as a handmade birthday card representation of a cat named Nardis has evolved into an awesome plushie that will ensure Nardis will never be forgotten. I spent quite a bit of time at Geek Booteek, admiring the plushie creations, but these Sugar Skull Kitties were just too cool not to post! There is a promise they will be for sale soon, and I just might have to grab one!
Math Mobile
I think every new parent goes through a lot to make sure their nursery has a special something that reflects both who they are and who they hope their little one will be. Miss Zish’s husband is a math major, so after he mentioned how cool a Math Mobile would be, she set to work with the sculpey and made it a reality! I never thought I’d be posting a craft from a parenting board, but this one was just so awesome I had to put it up! Love the little Pi! (via Babycenter).
