Flickr Pool – Geek Crafts

Henchman 21 Flickr Thursday

We now have a new segment here on Geek Crafts. It’s called Flickr Thursday. It’s where I, your beloved Redd, go into the Geek Craft Flickr Pool and share some awesomeness with you. Be sure to join the group and add your geekery! I don’t want to have to go elsewhere on Flickr!

This week I found something fabulous. A Henchman 21 embroidery!

It was submitted by the talented astriusstar.

Who is Henchman 21 you may be asking? He’s from The Venture Brothers of course! Something that if you aren’t already, should definitely be watching.

Flickr Pool: Marvin Night-time Embroidery.

In my household reading the Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy is a rite of passage. It’s lexicon is the language of our everyday social interactions within the house. It’s a beautiful thing.

It’s very confusing for visitors.

So looking in the Flickr pool for today’s feature, there was only one choice for me.

Amazingly LadyHazard has never read the books, but she certainly captured the spirit (or lack thereof) of our favourite paranoid android. Its a beautiful piece (but just a slight warning, her photostream is awesome… but NSFW!… there you were warned, now go there anyway :-) )

Awesome work LadyHazard

Flickr Pool: Royal Tenenbaums Pillows

Grab your goggles, because Geek Crafts is taking a dip in the pool…the Flickr Pool! Each week we’ll be showcasing some of the awesome geek creations made by our Flickr group members.

There are a lot of great crafts floating around the pool right now, and it was tough picking just one to kick off the series. As both an embroiderer and a film nerd, though, I was instantly drawn to Ellen Schinderman’s stitched submission.

This trio of pillows features the lovable losers from Wes Anderson’s film The Royal Tenenbaums, complete with quotes from the narrator. Drop by Ellen’s blog, Schindermania, to check out the backs of the pillows, too, which have fabric correlating to each Tenenbaum child’s personality (you can already see the fuzz from the fur coat backing for Margo’s).

If you want to see the pillows in person, they’ll be part of the fifth annual “Crazy 4 Cult” gallery show in Los Angeles, July 8-30. Congratulations, Ellen!
