Cosplayer Ryoko-demon has done an amazing job with her costume of Rogue from the “X-Men: Evolution” cartoon. She looks like she stepped right out of the tv. Ryoko-demon made the costume and wig herself. If you get the chance to look through her Deviant Art site, check out the wigs she’s made.
Guys, guys, I really thought it would be a few weeks before I posted anything doctor who related. I really did. Silly me. Pretty much five minutes after that thought I was informed of the existence of a double knit doctor who scarf making the rounds on Ravelry. Frivolite Handcrafts has created a scarf titled The Name of the Doctor.
Tardis? Check. Gallifreyan script. Check. Possibly needing a time machine to get this done anytime soon? Check and check.
While I have a fondness for a variety of fandoms, I would probably have to say I am most fond of Star Trek. There’s just so much to love! That’s why I was drawn to this Warp Speed Galaxy Shirt project by Katie Smith at Punk Projects.
Her tutorial looks so easy – a couple of spritzes of bleach on a black t-shirt, some dabs of paint, a speedy little Enterprise and boom, you’re off to seek out new life and new civilizations!
I love how subtle it is – you’d really have to look for that little Enterprise, but for the trained eye, it would be like an Easter Egg on a shirt. :)
A fun related note – Katie is already known for her Star Trek crafts, as seen in her Star Trek Christmas ornaments project I have previously featured. She also contributed the Starfleet Uniform Apron project (p 80) to my Star Trek Crafts book!

Sometimes, the simplest crafts are the best.
Felicitybaby at Craftster and from Seattle, gives us this Matt Smith hoop in honor of the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who.
She made this for her partner in a recent Doctor Who swap.
The 50th anniversary of Doctor Who is fast approaching and my answer is of course to craft all the Doctor Who things. Now not even I can knit The Scarf in a week, but there are quite a few smaller items that one can get their hands on. Hyde & Co. designs has one of best small 5th doctor knits I’ve ever seen. This free pattern is a great small knit for the next week.
Fifth doctor not your style? How about the Tardis Mitts by SpillyJane knits? The pattern includes fingerless mitts if a full mitten is not your speed.
Or how about Bowties are Cool fingerless gloves by yours truly if you want to go the quietly nerdy route?
Mike from Semi Sweet has created Daryl’s Ear Necklace, in cookie form.
“The Walking Dead ear necklace cookies are made with a small skull cookie cutter. If you don’t have this cutter, a sandal cookie cutter would work well, too.” Mike’s got a pretty well written and photographed tutorial that will WALK you through the decorating process so you can make your own WALKER ears (get it, WALK…walker ears? Hello, is this thing on?). The process of outlining and flooding each layer seems fairly time consuming, so this isn’t a cookie project you can knock out the same day you want them.
