Wow, the GeekGirlCon in Seattle looks awesome! It’s October 8 + 9 at the Seattle Center and EMP Project, and open to all geeks – some of the many rad things going on include improv theater, cosplay, gaming rooms, panels galore, and an artists’ alley. I can’t make it this year but I’m keeping an eye on it for a 2012 trek up north… would love to hear all about it if you’re going!
Valerie from Der Himmel ist Grau (The Sky is Grey… in case you’re wondering) sent in a link to her blog.
Just so you know… she’s a crochet dishcloth pixel art ninja.
She’s made up crochet/knitting charts so that you too can crochet dishcloths adorned with goombas, koopa troopers, yetis, pac men and yummy yummy ghosts. Go for it!
Who doesn’t love an adorable Cthulhu? SpookyPooky created this tiny (3 inch tall) Cthulhu stuffy for the One Tiny Stuffie swap over at Craftster. Her lucky partner’s survey said she liked “cryptids, sea creatures/monsters, anything a little unusual, steampunk, Neil Gaiman inspired…She also said she loves anything with a top hat and a mustache.” So Steampunk Cthulhu was born! I love that she added a mustache! You can see more pictures in the post, including his filigree-touched wings and the mini I, Cthulhu biography “written” by Neil Gaiman SpookyPooky made to go with it.
You know it’s only 103 days ’til Christmas?
Yup… tell me to shut up, I would! ;-)
Or even better, use your force powers to pin me up against the wall by my neck.
Natalie from Rose Colored Glass Half Full has a glorious tradition of making Star Wars themed Christmas ornaments every year. Check out the 2009 and 2010 collections here.
“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”
“In his house at Ryleh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.”
Now, thanks to these cute Cthulhu earrings, you don’t have to be a dead elder god to show your love of Cthulhu. Etsian DelightfulMagic makes all kinds of cute jewelry out of polymer clay, but these earrings drew me in right away. Rarely have I seen Cthulhu looking so cute.
