Where geek and crafts collide

Portal Wall Lamp

Ever wanted life to be as thrilling as a video game? You could start by making it look like a video game, right? Now, when I was young, becoming an astronaut was a more popular dream than becoming a test subject. However, dominator24 almost makes Aperture Laboratories seem like the place to be.

If you would like to know how this fusion between a lamp and a wall hanging was made, check out the details at this Instructables entry.

Sonic the Hedgehog Friday Treasury

My boyfriend spent all afternoon playing sonic the hedgehog, which inspired me to make this treasury! I love sonic, but unfortunately, I totally suck at playing it. Anyway, click on the picture to visit the treasury!

Mario LEGO sprites

Last week, Jenny showed you how to use make sprites with hama and perler beads. This week, I’ll share a tutorial with you to do the same thing, but now with LEGO.

sherrycayheyhey created Mario sprite mosaics from small pieces of LEGO. She posted some highly-detailed directions at Instructables.

Legend of Zelda – Sunday Treasury

Apologies for the lateness of my treasury this week, as usual, life got in the way… Anyway, here it is! Click on the picture to go to the treasury!

Pokemon Badge Shadow Box Perler Display

Check out this Perler Bead Pokemon Badge display that a friend of mine made a couple of weeks ago for his girlfriend’s birthday. Awwwwww.

Shadow Box Pokemon Perler Bead Badges

He’s displayed the badges in a shadow box frame, set out from the backing on a few extra beads for that 3D look, and finished it with a Pokemon blue and yellow surround. The lady in question is apparently a huge Pokemon nut, so hopefully really appreciated his efforts! Who said romance was dead..?

Good job, Chubbs :P

Link’s Awakening Sprite Stitch

Crafting and 8-bit video games are a perfect combination. You can use beading, quilting, and of course, cross stitching to spark a bit of life in your favorite characters.

At Sprite Stitch, it’s all about geeky stitching. User caslzelda created this scene from Link’s Awakening. I love the colored heart in the center of the piece.
