Scrap Metal Darth Vader

Greeting folks!

I has been abit lacking on posts due to being away for Christmas, but normal service is now being resumed.

Hope you have all enjoyed the holidays.

Today I have  to show you a Darth Vader made by Bellino Alain who has a shop on Behance

This Darth Vader bust is made entirely from scrap metal pieces fixed together, the process of how is was assembled detailed on the site.

Bellino also has other scrap items such as skulls and cockerels. The talent displayed is simply awe-inspiring.

Futurama Crochet Doll Patterns!

Okay, okay.  As 2012 breathes down our neck and we think about the future, what better to get you feeling cozy about it then some Futurama dolls?

Admittedly, I’m not linking to anyone but myself  (Hooked Hands) today, but I used to sell these Nibbler and Leela dolls on Etsy, and the powers that be (the lawyers representing Futurama) told me and everyone else on Etsy to stop selling Futurama inspired crafts.  They cannot however keep me from giving away those patterns to you!  I wrote them up and put them on my blog, so I decided to share them here. Happy New Year everyone!

Party like it’s x = [(2^3) + 80(5^2) + (36/9)]

Now that the warm, innocent glow of Christmas is behind us, it is time to look forward to the biggest party night of the year. If you are looking for a way to serve your guests fermented debauchery in a manner befitting a cultivated, tasteful geek, look no further than the laser-etched glassware over on Non Scientific Labware. Pour in the bubbly and toast your lab partners: “May all your reactions be positive, your equations be balanced, and all of your frictions of 2011 dissipate in the new year.”

The shop has a glass type suitable to your preferred poison: champagne, wine, tumblers,  shot glasses, and even a set of test tubes that were featured in the June trend-spotting section of  Food & Wine Magazine.

Have a fun, safe New Year’s Eve everyone.!

I choose you, Bulbasaur!

Over the past year or so, we’ve seen pixelated Spock quilts and then it morphed into Mario afghans. Now, SoreLoser has taken it one step further. WOW!, her afghan is amazing!

SoreLoser has created Bulbasaur in large crochet form! Being a relative newcomer to crochet, the amount of individual little squares needed to create this piece boggles my mind. I give her an A++ for Vision AND Perseverance!

Chevron Seven Locked!

Stargate SG-1 was one of the first geeky tv shows I ever became addicted to. That being said, I often find myself searching for cool crafty things that will help me show my love of this amazing exploration team. However, Stargate merchandise is fairly expensive, and crafts that have Stargate ties are few and far between.

So to help you on your journey to Stargate fandom-ness, here are a few things I’ve found that help show off our favorite wormhole jumping teams.

 

1: Stargate Themed Refrigerator Magnets
So that every time you open your fridge to get your filling of blue jell-o, you can be reminded of this amazing show.

 

2. Stargate Atlantis Chevron Earrings.
The Atlantis gate has always been my personal favorite gate. So these earrings that show off the Atlantis Chevron are at the top of my Stargate fan must-have list.

 

3: Jaffa Necklace
A beautiful handmade necklace with the Jaffa symbol

 

4: Stargate, For a Good Time Dial…
Looking for a way to lure that special geek? Wear this shirt. Achievement Unlocked!

 

5: Hello SG-1
What’s cuter than a Hello Kitty with a Jaffa symbol on their head? Nothing, I tell you.

 

6: Replicator Pendant
Be careful with this one, it’s a bit dangerous. Also, it’s kind of awesome.

 

7: SG-1 bag
This bag makes you easily recognizable to all the other Stargate fans.

8: Stargate Ring.
A great ring to wear when traveling to other planets. It lets the aliens know where your from. Though sometimes, that might be not be a good thing.

With all of this gear, you’re ready for a battle with a Wraith/Ori/Gou’ld…. Or at least ready to have a major Stargate marathon.
