Tutorial: Stargate Glyph Recycled Foam Stamp

Wasn’t Stargate fantastic?! I watched a couple of old SG:1 episodes recently, and suddenly got the urge to do something crafty involving the gate glyphs. I had a rummage in my drawer of hoarded crap, and found some of that really smooth protective foam that comes with some electronics. You know the stuff that has a really fine grain and is probably not recyclable?! Well that’s the kind of stuff I keep hold of just for occasions like this!

Incredible Lego Stargate Model

Whilst doing some research for my own geeky Stargate craft I came across this truly amazing Lego Stargate Model. It originally hit the Internet back in 2005 on mocpages.com, so apologies if you’ve seen this before a hundred times, but I just could not not post it.

It even has moving parts and light up chevrons! If I had this model, it would perhaps even bump my enormous Space Shuttle Lego from pride of place on the bookcase.

If you’re at all into Lego, make sure you take a look at mocpages.com as there seem to be endless* awesome Lego projects featured there. Who said these things were for kids?!

Stargate Fair Isle Beanie

I want this hat. I NEED this hat. But I can’t knit, and I don’t know anyone who can do fair isle. I have tried to learn to knit, just so I can make this hat (I’m hopeless). Carol Schoenfelder posted this Stargate beanie over at Ravelry, and I truly think it’s the greatest hat ever. She used the gate symbols as well as traditional fair isle patterns, making this subtly geeky and incredible cool.

There’s a free tutorial on her Ravelry page, which means someone can make this for me, right? Pretty please?

A Decepticon In Foam

Jamie, AKA Familyman, posted his lifesize Ravage Decepticon that he made, over at Seibertron.

Jamie builds replica props out of foam anti-fatigue mats. This Ravage is for display and to help Jamie get the templates all correct, so he can build a few more for sale. He’s also built a life size R2 out of foam, Wall-e, proton pack, Flux capacitor, and a Horus headdress from StarGate SG-1. Currently, he’s also working on an Ironman costume, Master Chief costume and K9 from “Doctor Who.” Check out his Facebook page, Foamtastic Props, for more photos of his other projects and to see if there’s anything you need for your own collection.

One Geek to Craft Them All

I’m going to let you guys in on a secret. I’m a crafty geek. I know you are all stunned I can see it. Can you imagine a geeky crafter? Okay, I’ll stop being silly now, but the fact is I make geeky jewelry, knitting patterns, and stitch markers. I have had an Etsy shop for a few years, and it full of items inspired by Comics, Books, Movies, TV, Mythology, Fairy Tales, and so forth.

What fandoms you may be asking? Well the photo above, were from my Addams Family line of Stitch Markers. You will also find, Game of Thrones, Marvel Characters, DC Characters, Game of Thrones, Lord of The Rings, Sherlock, Merlin, Doctor Who, Stargate, Harry Potter, Supernatural, to name a bunch of the places I have been inspired by to make things. Like Spoilers Earrings.

Earrings inspired by River Song, and her diary. Full of time travel secrets. Doctor who not your cup of tea, what about a pair of Loki Earrings?

And I’ve posted so much about knitting here lastly I leave you with a set of my Aquaman stitch markers.

So feel free to check out my shop. The November update goes live later today, and will be full of things in honor of the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who and other geeky items. There may be pie involved.

Knit an Arc Reactor Shawl

I am a member of the Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist, fan club and have the T-shirt to prove it. But I can’t wear a shirt like that to work. What I can wear is an Arc Reactor shawl and see who notices. Crafter Mabiana has done just that, knitting a pattern to emulate the Vibranium arc reactor.

The pattern is only charted, but look at what you get. Your very own, quietly nerdy shawl. You may not have built it in a cave with a box of scraps, but you can put it together with a couple of sticks and some string.
