Okay, it’s cool enough that these 8-bit popup cards exist, but it’s even better that there’s a tutorial so you can make your own. Not just Space Invaders and a pixel skull, but a pixel heart, too. These are so adorable and the instructions look pretty easy, too.
Today I have searched the digital shelves of Etsy for something to delight the biology geeks. And I found the wonderful works of Anatomolgy. She creates jewellery based around body parts. My favourite is this heart pictured but she also features bones, brains, neurons, synapses and some atoms for the chemistry lovers among us. I recommend you check her out, I shall be dropping hints with the boyfriend for my birthday!
I should get someone less-cheesy to write my post titles, shouldn’t I?
As you might have guessed, I’ve got a soft spot for science-themed accessories. I have some purple resistor earrings, some tiny circuit earrings, a caffeine molecule mug, and, after the post two days ago, I admit, I’ve already ordered a Darwin’s Tree of Life from Surly Amy.
So it’s unsurprising that I was drawn to this awesome heart-beat necklace, from BrightTigerDesigns on Etsy! It seemed seasonally-appropriate, too: what’s a more perfect Valentine’s present for your sweetie (or yourself) than a heart beat? Also, bonus: buying it would support a small crafter, rather than a giant card or chocolate company, in the bargain!
I just found this sweet yet geeky pendant on Etsy from seller melissajlee. She hand-formed the pendant and added a resin heart. As of this post, it’s available to purchase.
