Adipose Earrings
Flickr Thursday: Doctor Who Scarf
Today on the Geek Crafts Flickr pool, I pulled out this awesome picture.
It’s a recreation of the season 12 legendary Doctor Who scarf by Face Ache.
I’m also making one of these so I know just how long and tedious they are. Fabulous!
Dr. Who Tardis Earrings
I love Doctor Who. I have been watching since I was a wee little geek boy and the series has continued to entertain me as I have grown into a strapping geek man.
Julie Smith of BohemianCraftsody on Etsy makes all kinds of geeky jewelry, but these Tardis earrings are perfect in my opinion. The problem is, I don’t have pierced ears. So I need you to wear these in my place. Just be sure to tell everyone that you are wearing them for Pauly.
Feeling a little…sluggish?
According to the academic resource Futurama Wiki, a brain slug is “a species of space parasite that attaches its jelly-like body to the skull, presumably the brain of a human, and controls them. The specimen is green in color and consists of a translucent jelly-like body complete with two feelers and one large eyeball…The easiest way to tell if someone is infected would be the Brain Slug mass which sits atop of their head.”
Should you wish to make someone think he is infected, just perch one of these crocheted Brain Slugs on his noggin. Hilarity is sure to ensue.
This project makes me think of another amigurumi project – Baby Monsters by Allison Hoffman, aka CraftyIsCool. I made some in red for co-workers for Valentine’s Day, and called them “Love Monsters“. Naturally they were a big hit.

Go Team Venture Necklace
I was so shocked to learn yesterday that there was no Venture Brothers on Geek Crafts. So after Henchman 21 yesterday, I’ve followed it up with Hank and Dean Venture!
Awesome Etsian Pica Pica Press carves these by hand onto brass. It is a million kinds of amazing.
Her shop is full of epic geekery so you should go and check it out post haste.
