When I saw this, I did a double take. I was browsing through Etsy when I saw this Pokeball Duct Tape Flower by DuctTapeRose. I have always been a fan of Duct Tape creations, from my own clumsy attempts at making duct tape wallets to other peoples much better attempts.
If you have the same love of Duct Tape as me, I know you are amazed at the level of detail here, but you haven’t seen anything yet. Visit DuctTapeRose on Etsy to see some duct tape creations that will absolutely blow your mind.
I think I’m in love.
This picture was emailed to be by Alea, who’s mom made these oven cloths. Pretty awesome, right? I’ll let Alea explain in her own words;
Basically I just asked her if she could crochet stuff like that and she said she’ll give it a try. Took her about a year to find the time to do it, but for me it was worth waiting. The funny thing is that although the Game Boys we used to have belonged to me and my sister, my Mom was the one playing Tetris all the time and setting the highest records.
Well Alea’s mom doesn’t have a blog, or an Etsy or even a flicker account, so I’m afraid for now this pic is all your getting (but if we all gang up I’m sure we can persuade her to show off her brilliantness a bit more). In the mean time, I’m jealous because my mum can’t crochet OR play Tetris….
Do you sometimes find yourself in the position of needing a gift for a special geek friend or loved one but the options that you are finding just aren’t right? I came across this Etsy shop this morning called Basement Invaders and it is FULL of geeked out stemware that would make awesome gifts for most any occasion!
There are Mario and Luigi mustache tumblers, Boo candle holders, Goomba drinking glass and so much more. If you’re looking for a unique Mario themed gifts, you need to check them out.
I spent many, many a year inhabiting the body of Roseblood, a troll mage, my wild World of War
craft days. Trolls were a terrible choice, game-play wise. They had no compelling “race” bonus and their large feet meant that acquiring new footwear was meaningless, shoe-wise, since my feet were too big for the in-game shoe models. And what kind of fantasy world is that? One in which you never, ever get to admire your cute new shoes?
Nevertheless, the troll life was for me: birthed among the red rocks of Durotar, swimming t
o exotic islands to fight the evil voodoo of rival troll tribes, gathering tiger fur, the rebellious tusks, the wild hair. Good times.
That love and dedication to the life of a troll comes across 125% in this troll plushie from twocheeseplease. He is so sweet I’ll forgive him for being a hunter (my greatest PVP nemesis). Check out his cute little quiver! According to twocheeseplease, his eyes are hand painted and he is sporting yarn hair along with, “very manly tusks, a super soft minky body, and microfleece accessories.”
Manly and minky indeed! As Roseblood would likely say, “”You’re the type I’d like to sink my teeth into!”See more of twocheeseplease’s amazing work:
Hi, everyone! Today I’m in the mood to show off, a little. My husband’s a major Metroid fan, having played pretty much every Metroid game out there and even found a Metroid-themed drink, in the past. So when he joined the dark side got an iPhone, and I offered to cross-stitch him a case, I should probably have expected that he’d want an 8-bit Samus.
I basically copied the Samus Aran cross stitch from Azay’s Video Game CraftHaven. I admit: it’s a lot harder copying a finished piece than working from a pattern, for some reason. Which is to say, yes, anyone looking super closely will notice that I got a pixel flipped, but, uh, just don’t tell my husband, eh? ;)
Here are a couple of other Metroid-themed crafts from the past:
