What better way to ring in the holidays than with a Dalek!
Flickrer Ezri B made this advent calendar of the scariest thing off of Skaro out of felt and paint. The one thing they didn’t list was ‘awesome’. There is clearly a lot of that in this.

These paintings by Wednesday Wolf are amazing—dark and evocative and deceptively simple. They also really run the gamut of geekery, encompassing everything from Sackboy, the Ninja Turtles’ Michaelangelo, and Gir to Powerpuff Girls villain Him, Voldemort, and even Trogdor. And I’ve never seen such a menacing Pokedex or such a tragic depiction of Dr. Horrible. It’s hard to choose, but I think my personal favorite is the Alot. (You know the story of the Alot, right?)
I’m running out of wall space, but I may need one or more of these prints.
I know we don’t post a lot of fan art because it’s not technically a “craft”, but I appreciate all geeky creative endeavors. There’s this under-the-radar artist, Tony d’ Amato who is consistently cranking out awesome fan art on his Tumblr page of some of the best geekiest shows/movies out there. Everything from Community to The Walking Dead. For the last season of Lost, he painted a watercolor of a scene from each of the episodes. Maybe if we all rally around him, he might get a clue and start selling his prints, because I don’t know about you, but a zombie watercolor would go nicely over my mantle (if I had one).

Aw man! everyone needs some good geeky headgear this winter, and if you can knit, why not have a go at AmyLynn98’s TARDIS beret!?
As an avid Warehouse 13 fan, I’ve searched high and low for awesome Warehouse 13 crafts. The results are saddening.
However, I managed to come across this amazing Farnsworth necklace based off the communicators used by the agents of Warehouse 13. The Farnsworths, invented by Philo Farnsworth (inventor of the television), are a Warehouse exclusive. But now you can have your own, just hanging around your neck or pinned to your jacket.

Doctor, can you sonic me?
OH my! I have long been a big fan of AprilDraven’s work, especially her beautiful hats, but this piece just makes me all sorts of happy! She has provided both a chart and pattern on Craftster.
