Patti Schiendelman at Make: Magazine posted this awesome Rubik’s Cube project sent in by a user named “Mad Maxine” (I like her already). If you’re going to take this challenge on, you had better be an expert level Rubik’s solver (or at least be ready to become one). This would make an awesome project to hot-glue all together and hang on your wall.
I found some great bedding on Craftster recently.
Maddys Mum made her husband this lap-sized Space Invaders quilt for Christmas. The simple yet detailed square per pixel worked out great!
Another Christmas gift, Lovefrozenstars made this rockin’ (oh my, did I really just say “rockin'”?) comforter for her boyfriend with the Rock Band guitar icon. She includes some tips in her post, including how she did the image,
“To get the symbol, I brought a print out of it to a Kinko’s and had them blow it up as large as they could. I cut that image out and traced it onto white fleece that I sewed onto the front.”
Of course, both gifts were very well-received!
Be on the lookout for posts from new Geek Crafter Renee – she’ll be blogging regularly here at Geek Crafts.
We hope everyone has a happy, crafty, geeky new year!
Cory Doctorow posted this ridiculously awesome Boba Fett Pez dispenser on boingboing. Flickr user Switthoft made it “using the lost wax casting process with an organic burnout. The material is silicon bronze. The original sleeve for the Pez broke, so I cannibalized parts from another dispenser: Simba from the Lion King.”
Sukigirl made a bunch of these South Park Cartman and Kenny amigurumi dolls as stocking stuffers. She’s got some other South Park crafts on her blog, as well. The pattern is from Etsy seller La Fee Crochette, who has a lot of different geek-inspired Amigurumi. I’m happy that Cartman’s head is larger than Kenny’s, as it should be.
Craftster user sarahmakes used a pattern from Sprite Stitch to cross-stitch this history of Mario for her brother. I love Mario as a raccoon… what’s your favorite Mario?
Who needs gingerbread men when you can have ginger Chewbacca and ginger Ewoks? Craftster user kala posted these hilarious Star Wars gingerbread cookies that she and her husband made –
“He made the hair on Chewy by pressing some dough through a garlic press, that idea came from Martha Stewart Living. Yay for Martha!”
