Zena, of West Art & Glass, handcrafts a variety of glass items in her UK flat. I spotted this delightful shallow bowl, which features the number pi spiraling out to 1,498 places in her Etsy shop. I don’t consider myself a math geek, but I do appreciate pi and think it would be a fun way to serve and eat the other kind of pie.
Who doesn’t love science and the periodic table?! I recently made a set of periodic table elements as wall art for my sister’s house, and I was wondering what other exciting periodic crafts you people have come up with! Here is an awesome roundup of everything elemental, from food to furniture!

If science fascinates you as well, check out how to become a
forensic scientist.
Sometimes your mad laboratory needs a homey touch (especially if you spend more time there than you do at home).
You’re in luck! Sasha offers some super science-themed felt creations — including this charming microscope magnet — at her Etsy store What. No Mints?.
She also has other fuzzy creations for the chemistry nerd in your life, from Erlenmeyer Flasks key chains to brooches sporting the dopamine molecule.
The founders of DNA 11, Adrian Salamunovic and Nazim Ahmed have a super cool and geeky art style…. making wall canvas art with your real DNA! Upon purchase request they send you a DNA sample kit (don’t be alarmed, it’s only a swab of the cheek!) and about a month later you receive a completely original and unique piece of art! HOW COOL IS THIS?!
Geeky? check! Sciencey? check! I WANT ONE!!!
Plug in to style with this sweet power cord scarf!
Made by Brooklyn-based designer Nguyen Le, these scarves are not only cute, they’re “green” as well. According to her Etsy profile, the yarn comes from a family-run yarn mill that uses 90% less water in their yarn production. How awesome is that?
You can find this scarf in various colors and widths, or if you want to take a crack at making your own, a pattern is also available on her Etsy store, KnitKnit.
Mmmmm, pi!
Be the envy of all of your math geek friends with these super clever pi and pie earrings!
Cherry pie not your thing? Fear not! Nerd Goddess does custom orders so I’m sure she can hand-make you the delicious pie slice of your choice!
