I saw this Boba Fett bag in the Flickr pool and I knew at once it had to be the featured project this week. Boba Fett is the crowd favourite over here at my house.
This wicked bag is hand-painted by the talented catpenfold. It was for sale but it sold and that is sad beyond words.
Are you ready for an awesome find today? Are you sure? BAM! It’s a Mario Brothers quilt by the clearly talented _name_taken_. It is quilted tiny pixel by tiny pixel to equal a quilt of epic proportions.
Yo dawgs, I heard you liked crafted geekery. So I found you a hand-needle-felted QR code die that, when rolled and then scanned, resolves to between one and six six-sided dice (1d6 to 6d6) being “rolled,” via random.org. So you could geek while you geek.
…
OK, maybe that meme’s played out.
…
Seriously, though, I can’t begin to express how pleased and impressed this craft makes me! First of all, my forays into needle felting were both unsuccessful and physically painful (I wish I were joking), and, second, just cross-stitching one QR code was sufficiently challenging that I promised myself I’d never do it again. There was some pretty serious time and dedication invested in this craft, which I found on Shannon Henry’s Flickr stream, via, of course, Pinterest. She describes it as a “meta die,” which makes sense, right? I wonder (but not enough to do the math myself) if it has the same distribution as a d36.
Anyway, hats off to one very geeky, very talented lady!
This week’s awesome Flickr find is this adorable Totoro hat by mojo.
Who doesn’t love Totoro? I just want to squish him! I especially love the whiskers on this hat.
There is nothing I love more than a good meme. Nyan Cat is among my favourites. Carexcore captured him pretty well in this cross stitch. Super fab!
