Dr. Spudberg
Tomorrow is the season finale of Futurama *sniff* So to get us through this dark time, I bring you Dr. Spudberg! This Mr. Potato-head mod was created by mrtruffle (Ashley Ringrose) based on Dr. Zoidberg, his favorite character. I love his claws and that he’s smiling (with teeth! He has teeth in the pilot). mrtruffle said that Bender was his other favorite character, so let’s hope he does him in Potato form next!

Reader Submission: Star Wars Manatees
FUN FACT: you can use the Submit a Geekcraft link to show us stuff you think we might be interested in. It can be something you’ve made yourself but you can also submit geeky-goodness made by another fine citizen of the interwebs… Is there a prize for being featured?… well… no. But you will get the kudos of having your name mentioned here on the blog. High Five.
This imaginative embroidery piece serves to answer the question that you didn’t know you asked. What would Princess Leia look like as a Manatee?

“This is not my work. I saw it on Craftster today and had to share it with you. The Star Wars manatees were created by another member of craftster’s website, Erica_Tattoos. Love your site!”
Thanks Robin, and well done Erica Tattoos :-)

Chicago Comic Con 2011 – DIY edition
As you may have read in my previous post, I recently attended the Wizard World Comic Con in Chicago. While many in attendance were in full-scale cosplay mode (costume-play), some stood out to me because of the crafty–DIY nature of their projects.
I loved this crocheted ode to Dr. Who‘s Tardis. My model very sportingly gave me two views.
And with another homage to the good doctor – a walking Tardis! I’m not sure how much of the con this young lady got to see, as she was stopped frequently for photo opps!
This Scott Pilgrim-inspired couple didn’t seem to think their costume very photo-worthy, but I thought they were great. I loved their little labels on their shirts and the giant mallet. Made me want to watch the movie again. It also reminded me of this fantastic embroidery project, posted on GeekCrafts earlier this year. (And I have seen a girl with hair like that – that’s mine pretty much every morning when I wake up! Except the purple part…)
I had to marvel at this repurposed use of a set of Star Wars sheets, used to create a smart suit for the Mayor of Star Wars Town.
Unfortunately I didn’t notice many crafty things for sale at booths, but then, I was cruising through the aisles at warp speed. I was able to nab a few pictures.
