Tutorial Tuesday: LED Boo Wall Art

This super cool Light-up Boo rocks my world!

But the question is, would you be too scared to have it in your bedroom?! … haha, don’t turn away… DON’T BLINK! BLINK AND YOU’RE DEAD!!

If you’re made of sterner stuff than me and aren’t easily scared by MDF shapes, you can make your own light up Boo by following Ynze’s tutorial on Instructables.

Engraved Glasses

I’ve always loved the look of engraved glasses. Truthfully, I blame it on McDonalds and the glasses that they gave out for a Disney anniversary. I think it’s a really classy way of showing your geeky side, while still remaining functional.

Over at PlacidRain on Etsy, they’ve made this awesome idea and turned into a shop of amazing art. Custom glass fanart, ranging from Moogles and Chocobos to Super Mario to Pokemon, even Totoro. As I scroll through this shop I have a meme in my head shouting “BUY ALL OF THE GLASSES!!!!”

Tutorial Tuesday: Superhero Party Masks!

Via SewMamaSew’s Pinterest Board

How’s this for an awesome party idea, and whats more, it’s completely reusable so geeky kiddies of  all ages can relive their happy day as ‘Iron Man’ all through the year :-)

Cutesy Crafts designed these Superhero party masks and posted the tutorial and free printable templates on her blog!!

But these needn’t just be for kids parties, how awesome would they be at a music festival? a pub crawl? a superhero masked ball?!?! (yea? mind… blown!)

Nerd + skirt = Sknert?

Guys, can we talk about what Ashley Mertz is doing over at Go Chase Rabbits? Because, it’s like…whoa.  Whoa, slow down Ashley because I can’t even keep up with all these cute skirts and I have so many questions:  Where is the fabric coming from?  How do you have the time to make all these? What shoes would I wear with the Yoshi skirt?

If Yoshi isn’t your speed, 1) What is the matter with you and 2) Ms. Mertz likely has your geek beat covered from Tardis skirts, Pokemon pettis, Star Wars, LoTR…even a periodic table mini-skirt.  It’s all there, it’s all cute.

Superman Saves the Wedding (cake)

Superman saves Lois from a falling wedding cake

Leave it to Pinterest to offer up a link to some luscious geekery – a unique take on a Superman wedding cake.

Not content to just offer a groom’s cake with a giant “S” emblazoned upon it, this geeky couple asked their baker to create a cake that looked like it was falling apart, with Superman swooping in to save Lois from the falling tier. Apparently the broken cake tier looked so real the DJ at the wedding had to keep announcing the cake was *supposed* to look like that. Well played, cake decorator!
