The season finale of Doctor Who is Saturday. I’m incredibly excited/sad, especially since Season 7 won’t air until next fall. In the mean time I can ogle this: Doctor Who stacking dolls! Molly23 made the set of 12 stacking dolls: all eleven Doctors (including a teeny tiny William Hartnell) that fit inside a TARDIS! I can’t think of a more perfect way to display your Who love: it really IS bigger on the inside!
I love everything about this set of hand-painted Harry, Ron and Hermoine dolls by dangercatdolls on Etsy – especially the tiny hand-pained Gryffindor stripes on their ties. You can also request other characters from the books if you have another favorite… very cool!
I also liked the description:
Dolls are made of wood and stand approximately 3.5 inches tall. They are lovingly hand painted and sealed in acrylic. While they are considerably sturdy little fellows (and ladies), they are not toys and should not be given to children, regardless of how much they love 5000 page novels.
If the San Diego Comic-Con is the arena rock star of the convention world, then San Francisco’s WonderCon is the concert-hall favorite. It’s not nearly as big, but much more manageable, and (in my humble opinion) just as much fun.
I attended two days of this year’s Con, where I met numerous writers, artists, and geek icons. My favorite folks to talk to, though, were the hard-working crafters tabling throughout the Con.
Some had made items to promote books and webcomics, others were devoted to selling thier handmade crafts. No matter the reason, though, they were always happy to stop and share a little about their creations.
This might be the coolest thing I’ve seen in awhile. DeviantArt user morgoththeone painted this Justice League wall mural in her living room. Click through to see it bigger. The details and shading are amazing and I love how she added shadows to make it look 3-D. You can also see some photos of her progression here.
I’m a little behind on my movie watching. I finally rented Kick-Ass this past weekend, fully expecting a comedy-action popcorn flick. Imagine my surprise to find out Kick-Ass is (arguably) one of the darkest and most brutal superhero films since Watchmen.
Needless to say, I’ve fallen in love, and a trip to the comic book store is definitely in my near future. Meanwhile, I had to check out the related offerings on Etsy, and came across these little hand-painted Kick-Ass peg people by Mia, aka Giddy Girlie.
I love how they resemble those Fisher-Price Little People I used to play with as a kid. Except they’re…well, more kick-ass!
O-mazing!!! I wish I had this block style door just so I could paint it blue <3
Flickr user normaljean has this TARDIS door in her home, and there’s even a gallery of photos showing the work in progress. A musician and general artist, she definitely has awesome work, so check out her photostream for fun crafts and adventures! (adorable mini felted things! omg!!)
