Friday Round-up: Rubik’s Cube Madness!

I am a collector of hobbies and lately I have gotten back into the Rubik’s Cube.  The Rubik’s Cube was invented in 1974 by a Hungarian sculptor and professor named Erno Rubik.  He was awesome.  He didn’t even realize he had made a puzzle until the first time he scrambled it and tried to get it back together.  It took him like 6 months, now the world record is 5.66 seconds.  My best time is somewhere just shy of 2 minutes, but I am getting better.  Enough about me, you are here for crafts so here we go!

Space invaders cuff links

space invaders cufflinks

Do you have an old-school geeky dad in your life?  With father’s day right around the corner, Virginie Millefior might have something up his alley. These little aliens are “sawn-off from a sheet of brass, molded and cast into brass to create two identical space invaders cufflinks.”

If you are an aficionado of old video games, but have no need to link cuffs, fear not! Ms. Millefior also has necklaces, rings, and other trinkets that pay homage to our favorite games of the late 70s/early 80s.

Pac-Man Cufflinks

Pac-Man CufflinksI have made no secret of my love of video games, but did you know that I am also quite a classy fellow.  Like any gentleman with refined tastes, I love cufflinks.  They are an important part of any classy gentleman’s wardrobe.

These Pac-Man cufflinks would go best with a glass of expensive champagne and some polite dinner conversation.  Etsian CsCharms has crafted them perfectly out of enamel and silver plated brass, as it was done in the Victorian era.

Go see the cufflinks!
