I admit it, I wasn’t into Sherlock Holmes until very recently. What changed my mind? The BBC Sherlock. Man, that show is incredible. Now I want *all* the Sherlock. Flickr user Ursula and Olive made this amazing locket featuring the great Moriarty. The detail is fantastic!
I must confess to a certain fondness for the collected creations of Sweetheart Sinner. I own three necklaces and have given two pins as gifts. They’re nicely handmade and run the gamut of themes ranging from zombies to macabre Victoriana to straight-up pinup girls to steampunk. I tend to prefer the less ‘shopped images (some of them look a bit obviously edited); if you’re curious, my purchases included a Judy-Garland-as-Dorothy necklace no longer for sale, this women’s vanity illusion necklace, and this charming saucy mermaid necklace.
Hey, so, spring is springing all around us, so if you’re as proficient a knitter as me it’s time ot prepare for winter! Haha. Check out this awesome knitting chart, posted by Crafty Tardis member Yuka Tan. It”s perfect for for an old fashioned style winter sweater, with a Whoovian twist!
A friend of mine, Rudi, emailed me these photos of the Ffordian Dodo he recently cloned, and I couldn’t resist the temptation to show off on his behalf.
Vikwick is an early version 1.2 dodo, without wings – but since they are flightless that doesn’t seem to make any difference to her quality of life. Vikwick has recently been involved in the SpecOps 27 investigation into Adrian Lush, since the TV host recently opened a chain of bath & beauty product stores and is under suspicion of using the strong smell emanating from the shops to disguise a cheese smuggling operation….
Vikwick was made from socks, following the tutorial on my blog (tutorial includes wings, if you want the) – the Sockie Dodo’s are 100% Jasper Fforde approved (his little daughter has one) and are really easy to make… but be warned, if you make one, they will steal all your marshmallows
Take a look at this amazing embroidered sketchbook made by Michelle (spikefan) on Craftster. Fireflies are usually caught in jars, so what is the greatest geeky alternative? Serenity in a jar of course!
It’s about Prom time, and getting close to the busy wedding season. With that in mind, here is an awesome idea to geekify your wedding in a simple, but awesome way.
For those of us dating/marrying geeks, its hard to find a way to show our geekiness in a fun but easy way that won’t distract from the event as a whole. If you don’t want a cake in the shape of the Millennium Falcon, or to carry around a storm trooper helmet to prom, try these:
Made by Kristylynn84 on Instructables.com, she goes through each step individually on how to make Star Wars inspired Boutonnieres. These boutonnieres certainly wouldn’t detract from the wedding, and would definitely give you brownie points with your geeky date to the prom.
