I can’t say it enough – I love tiny things. This Severus Snape doll is fabulous on its own, but check out the tiny potion ingredients and wand to use with his tiny cauldron. Check out the rest of MamanTattoo‘s stuff of Craftster, including a Luna Lovegood and other Harry Potter goodies.
Jane Austen, anyone? Craftster user bekibutton sewed this lovely outfit to attend the Jane Austen Festival Grand Regency Promenade. I also like her “Obligatory cat-gets-involved-with-crafts” pictures too :)
Craftster user AprilDraven was kind enough to post the pattern she created for Bella’s crocheted hat in the La Push scene from Twilight. I want this hat *and* the mittens! Who else is counting down to New Moon?
I went to the Oregon State Fair last weekend and got to see some pretty rad geek crafts there! In the Legos competition, this magnificent Yoda took a second prize.
In the 4-H Hall, this woodburned Twilight plaque won a Blue Award.
The 4-H Ceramics competition spotlighted some gorgeously intricate dragons — both of them took Blue Awards, too.
And I loved these 4-H science-fair projects — the illustrated poster explaining the recycled rocket and the self-starting electric motor were both awesome!
The Oregon State Fair runs through Labor Day — if you’re nearby, don’t miss it! And if you’ve seen (or made!) any other geek crafts at your state fair, I’d love to hear about them too…
UPDATE: Thanks to zebuladesign for sharing her flickr photos of geek crafts at the Michigan State Fair with us!

I was happily googling along, attempting to find Doctor Who themed clothes and/or toys for our impending baby (I like that, it sounds dramatic), when I ran across this awesome Torchwood fan comic Torchwood Babiez. Spastamagoria and Jigglycat have apparently worked very hard to represent our favorite Torchwood characters as cute little kids that you just kind of want to hug. And have no fear, the pet pterodactyl from the hub is even represented, as a cute little stuffed animal that Gwenn carried around, Tosh has her own mini Apple computer, and when we run into The Doctor, Rose is carrying a Dalek toy. I giggled through several pages, and it is safe to say I am now hooked on this particular livejournal blog.
When these babies popped into my inbox, and I hopped over to HunkyDorky to see what else Sponzar had created I was giddy. These are really amazing Terminator Converse sneakers that Sponzar had drew on then painted. I, myself, am an “old school” Terminator fan, enjoying parts one and two a little more than parts three and four, but if I was going to join The Resistance, I’d really like a pair of these shoes.
