Daleks and perler beads? I’m there! Debra features this Perler Dalek Picture Frame, and many other geek-tastic perler frames on her DeviantArt site, under YumeLeona23.
I’ve got all things that are good… including this Old Gregg doll!! Well, I don’t have it, but Craftster user warheart does! Look at the seaweed hair!! And the mini bottle of Baileys! The back of the jacket even reads “I’m Old Gregg!” He’s a scaly manfish, he’s got the funk in a box, what’s not to love?!
If you’re not familiar with the hilarity that is The Mighty Boosh (BBC) here is a youtube video of the very best episode The Legend of Old Gregg
I was in downtown Hillsboro, Oregon last week and saw this mini-spectacle on Main St., right in front of a sandwich shop. Someone used dryer vents, cardboard, tin foil, duct tape, and a little crafty ingenuity to robotify this plain old Hillsboro Argus newspaper box! I was totally charmed, and my two-year-old LOVED it.
I HAVE to feature this because jemimah was recently ROBBED (robbed I tell ya!!) of a place in Craftster’s featured projects for January.For those of you who don’t know (I didn’t, and I embroider!) this type of 3 dimensional embroidery is called stumpwork, and it’s formed by using wire to help support your embroidered piece. This little baby has (to date) amassed 6 pages of comments since the 16th January. It’s really blown our minds over on the needlework board, I’d never seen stumpwork before, and to see it used in such a contemporary way is truly stunning. this hoop is only 3 (or 4?) inches wide, this is a tiny tiny bundle of AWESOME!!
Cinnamoon has by far the best suggestion: “That’s amazing. It would be really cool to have a whole row of them at different heights so that it would look like a sea monster was coming through the wall.”, you’re not wrong Cinnamoon!!
“Look, Mr. B!”
I squealed like a Little Sister when I saw this simple, yet striking Bioshock embroidery.
Craftster member lostinwonderland stitched up the design from one of the posters found in the Little Wonders level of the video game. A deceptively sweet image for such a sinister purpose…
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?
