Girl Geek Craft Crush, Lanikins

If you’ve been on craftster, then you’ve probably seen Lani Spear around.

Her recent She-ra  poppet , which she designed for a private swap with Padfoot, is an excellent illustration of how she embodies the soul of Geek Craftiness.

A little search through her previous projects shows the extent of her geeky inspiration, she also created the uncanny Coraline, Coraline is so film-realistic she could be on a shelf in a store and wouldn’t look out of place.

I have my fingers and toes crossed that next time I’m in a crafster swap, I wind up with Lani as my partner, she’s an awesome geek crafter!

Check out her projects on Craftster for goodies like; her gorgeous son dressed as Shaun from Shaun of the Dead, Gir amigurumi (with tutorial), super cute Rocky Horror Eddie poppet, and an ADORABLE Sweeny Todd Poppet.

Go, look, enjoy, Kudos Lanikins.

‘Ello!

I’m Lauren Lynne, another new writer excited to be a part of Geek Crafts.  I’m a Knitter and all around geek.  I’ve knit more Harry Potter scarves than I care to mention, and recently started designing my own patterns.  I take inspiration from geeky books, movies, and life in general.  I’m a bibliophile with a preference for fantasy novels.  My current favorites are Jim Butcher and Patrick Rothfuss.  You can check out my thoughts on knitting and pop culture on my blog, The Knitting Bibliophile.

Why Hello There!

Greetings and Salutations!

My name is Redd and I am  your Canadian connection. I live in Toronto with my husband, son, 4 cats (Cory, Tom, Elly and Faye), 2 rabbits (Chloe and Pekoe), 2 rats (Hank and Dean Venture) and my turtle Fredward. I’ve been a geek and crafter for as long as I can remember and saw no good reason why the two couldn’t mix together. My hubby and I opened Geekopolis and fill it with all kinds of geek crafts. You can find me on my blog and my Facebook where there is much awesomeness.

Robot Scan Love

Robots are cute, ask anybody. I was just shopping at Forever 21 and scored an adorable Robot Heart Necklace, then open my inbox to find a submission from Rich Robotsoon. This Robot Scan Love Cross Stitch has it all, robots, clever word play, binary, and hearts. You can find it, and other cute robot cross stitch, at the Robot Soon Etsy shop.
