Creeper Ssssssewing Pattern

Creeper Sewing PatternThere is no more iconic image from the game of Minecraft than the Creeper.  The Creeper is a nasty creature that explodes when it gets near to you, but not before you panic from hearing the distinctive hiss that heralds your destruction.  When I happened upon this Creeper Sewing Pattern by arixystix on Etsy I got shivers.  It is as perfect a replica as you could get in real life, and I have been looking over my shoulder ever since.  If you have some skills with a sewing machine, this little monster could be yours.

Reader Submission: Bioshock Educational Posters

Geekcrafts reader Lauren, owner of Etsy shop theinkblot writes:

“I love anything and everything geek. I am completely obsessed with Bioshock (1 and 2) and I just love the concept and ideas of Rapture. In my free time I draw some of the “educational” posters found throughout the game. I have also drawn some of the Plasmid video stills (one can be found in the sold section of my etsy). I love your website and check it frequently, purchasing items from the artists you mention. It also gives me great ideas for my own geekcrafts! I love the website, please keep it up!”

I’m sure many of our readers are with you in the Bioshock love. I, however, am an absolute WIMP… and although I the love retro art peppered throughout the game, I become a snivelling nervous wreck when playing scary/atmospheric first person shooters.

I’m a Cookin’ Mama kind of girl.
