Slowly but surely, I can feel myself being drawn into all things steampunk, the literature, costuming and now adorable mechowls!
This little guy reminds me of Bubo from the original Clash of the Titans. Monsterkookies has managed to create an amazing owl that looks for all the World like it’s make completely of metal bits but he’s actually polymer clay! This just blows my mind.
I hope your parents kept a bag of all your old toys in the attic, because you’re about to want ‘em back…
Ryan McElhinney claims to be an interior designer, but it’s pretty obvious that that’s a lie. The guy is a geek-crafter, through and through. He makes these awesome lamps by sticking action figures together and painting them – teamed with a simple shade they look brilliant. If you live in London you can see them live in the pubs Ryan has decorated; maybe you’ll bump into Elton John while you’re their – Ryan is rumoured to have designed the topper for his wedding cake (that’s gotta look awesome on his CV).
What are you doing still reading? It’s spring(ish) – there are car boot sales to raid – GO!
Have you ever wanted to learn how to make a ray gun? No, me neither. However, now that I’ve read this tutorial and have seen the finished result, I kind of feel like I might need to make myself one. Oh, and if you want a nice way of displaying said creation? Yeah, Epbot has a tutorial for that, too.
Friday Roundup
Just one more… Hmm? What? … Yes, yes, I know it’s almost time for the Friday Roundup. Just wanted to finish this lev… I am not! No way I’m addicted to… What? Just pause it and do the round up? Okay, but I’m not addicted to it!
Sorry, guess I had lost tract of time but never fear, for the Friday Roundup is loaded with some amazing patterns to create some fabulous Angry Birds creations (and I am not addicted).
Emjay Bailey, otherwise known as Nerdigurumi has crochet patterns available for free for both the Angry Red Cardinal and the Green Pig.
Knitter can find patterns for the pair as well as the Angry Yellow Bird at Knitterbee‘s blog.
Crocheters do not dispair because Laura Chua offers us a free download for the Angry Yellow Bird.
Michele Villa offers a pattern for a crocheted Angry Birds Cozy which can be adapted to size.
Crafts by Starlight has a pattern for a crocheted Angry Bird Black Bird Hat. There are also links there for several other Angry Bird hats as well.
Lii Yan seems to have some sympathy for those frustrating Green Pigs and gives us a pattern for a hat.
Not into hats? Then how about an Angry Birds Tissue Box Cover by Donesia Margolis?
Suzy Vitale has created charts for knitting of the Red and Black Angry Birds.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some pigs to destroy… Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
It is the year of the dragon, and as a recently birthday’ed fire dragon myself, I wanted to delve into all things dragon for this week’s round-up. First up from Olga Farberovao, I bring you this touching father-son moment. Check out this firey poppa welcoming his new addition:
This made-to-order toy was crocheted out of mohair yarn. His eyes, nostrils are needle felted. The egg is made by wet felting wool.

I realize I already did a Totoro week, but that was so last year. This plushie is just too amazing not to mention. It may very well be the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life. I just want to hug it.
This plushie by yael360 on Etsy is absolutely amazing, just crazy amazing. Did I mention it is amazing? Seeing this made me look through the rest of their shop, but there are so many cute and geeky things there that my head exploded and I am writing this with my last breath. Happy Valentines Day.
