Another Newbie

Hey everyone! I’m Kaitlen, another new addition to the Geek Crafts family. First of all, I have a confession: I’m awful at video games. My hand-eye coordination is such that I’m more likely to injure myself with the controller than I am to actually beat a board. That didn’t stop me from working at some gaming mags, though…and developing a slight Katamari addiction.

Fortunately, I make up for my lack of gaming talent with my excellent crafting skills. Screenprinting, sculpting, painting, jewelry-making—I’ve done it all. (Except knit, for some reason.) I also seem to devote quite a lot of time to consuming great geek fodder such as Firefly, Futurama, Doctor Who, Buffy, and, well, a lot more. And it’s always a pleasure to combine my geekiness with my craftiness, like when I sculpt Flying Spaghetti Monster Christmas ornaments or make necklaces out of circuit boards.

I also run the lifestyle/fashion/design blog pinup.punkrockelite.org. Oh, and feel free to follow me on Twitter at @kaitlen or @punkpinup. I’ll be back here on Thursday—see you then!
