So Etsy has a wide variety of awesome geek crafts. I’m going to be showing some off each week in Etsy Treasury form.
This week is the incredible game, Angry Birds! Be sure to click below to be taken to the treasury and explore all the awesome geeky shops!
While looking for camera cases, I stumbled upon hine’s shop on Etsy. Not only are the camera camera cases awesomely adorable, but the rotary iPhone cases really caught my eye. Remember old rotary phones?! I do. They were a pain to dial, made a whole bunch of noise, and just the handset was 10x bigger than my phone now… but this hand stitched iPhone case sure makes me slightly nostalgic for those old clunkers! Now I anxiously await more of her Etsy postings so I can have one of my very own :)
Spied in the Geek Crafts Flickr pool – a perfect pouch for your iPhone – a hoodie! Super cute from tikoystore.
Etsy seller Coolbeans717 makes these cool iPhone covers like this one from The Princess Bride. Click through to see more.
Inconsolable is not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. Before I received my copy in the mail, author Shaheed Shabazz warned me that the book was “graphic and twisted” and I smirked to myself, thinking “He doesn’t know me very well, graphic and twisted is what I do“. I was not prepared in the least for the gore-filled, horrifying ride that calls itself Inconsolable.
There were times, while reading this revenge tale full of drugs, torture and mind tricks, that I couldn’t put the book down–there were other times when I was so horrified by the images Shabazz so skillfully painted that I had to put the book down to give myself a break from the intensity. The story starts out calmly enough, introducing the reader to Sean Stiles, a character who at once seems unassuming and noble. Shortly after we meet him, he meets a group of meth heads and loses his life. The story picks up down the line, where our meth addicted murderers have sworn each other to secrecy, gotten clean and moved on. Or so they thought.
Although they were sure no one would “miss” Sean Stiles it becomes clear that someone did, and that someone is intent on ripping apart their lives, and their bodies. With scenes straight out of a Japanese horror flick, Shabazz throws us into a world that is run by the Blue Giant, where justice is carried out slice by slice, slowly but surely, and where no one is off-limits. The book will leave you shaken, terrified to close your eyes, and regretting every wrong you have ever committed in your life. It’s a great read–if you’re brave enough.
See what Shaheed Shabazz had to say to Geek Crafts after the jump.
A big thanks to Lilian for dropping this great etsy find in my inbox! What better to house your latest technological gadget in, than this retro style NES Controller iPhone Case made by SplashingKoi? I can’t even begin to properly embrace the techno-geekiness of finding a way to combine the iPhone with NES, but I’m going to try.
