It’s-a Me, Anna

Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as when Mario says it. Oh well.

I’m just taking a few minutes to introduce myself. I’m one of the new bloggers here on GeekCraft.com, and I’ll be posting every Sunday.

I currently live in Salt Lake City, Utah with my husband and our two cats, Aerith (named after a character from Final Fantasy VII) and Rikku (after a character from Final Fantasy X).

Most of my geekiness comes from watching copious amounts of television, that usually have some sort of geek tie-in, like, The Big Bang Theory, Warehouse 13, Doctor Who, and anything made by Joss Whedon.

The way that I geekcraft is mostly by making plushies of my favorite characters from TV shows (though currently I’ve only made characters from Doctor Who, I’m working on others).

When not watching far too much television for one person to handle, I’m making YouTube videos with my friends, and playing on Photoshop.

Feel free to check out my bio and the other new blogger bios in the about page.

Allons-y,
Anna

Friday Roundup: Minecraft!

Today is the day. I can hardly believe that Minecraft is not a full game yet, but it’s true. Today Mojang AB, the creators of Minecraft, will be releasing the official Minecraft 1.0 version live at MineCon in Las Vegas. I wish I could be there. However, since I can’t be there, lets look at some truly awesome Minecraft inspired crafts.

To start things off, take a look at this Creeper Purse by Blindmoon on Etsy. Now you can look stylish and still send everyone around you into PTSD induced seizures.

*****

Or how about this absolutely adorable Minecraft Chicken made out of Fimo Clay. StarPhoenixx from Etsy makes tons of cute clay figurines but this chicken made me squeak.

*****

The cake doesn’t have to be a lie with this Plush Minecraft Cake by EeeBeeDee on Etsy.

*****

We all know how much I love coffee cozies. I can’t get enough of the things, yet strangely I don’t use them on my actual coffee. Either way, you have to love this Creeper Coffee Cozy by LilacsLovables on Etsy. She calls it a “Mug Cozy” but I don’t think you can even USE mugs for anything other than coffee…right?

*****

How are you supposed to dig around in your mines without the proper tools? Well, diamonds are expensive, so how about these Perler Bead Diamond Magnets by GumballNinja on Etsy?

*****

Have you ever looked at your tissue paper dispenser and thought to yourself, “What am I doing with my life?”. Me too. You can solve that problem by pimping out your dispenser with a cool Minecraft Grass Cube Tissue Box Cover! But where could you get one? How about from sockmonkeyfun on Etsy?

*****

I bet that, like me, you don’t have any friends. What? You do have friends…can you share? No….right then. Well, since you have SO MANY FRIENDS, I suppose you must collect them. Why not add one more to the list, you friend hog. This Minecraft Pet Wolf Statue, by DandelionBlow on Etsy, won’t ever pick you last for dodge ball…again.

*****

Since you have so many friends, why don’t you marry one? All you need is a diamond ring like this Minecraft Inspired “Diamond” Ring by tinybackpack on Etsy.

*****

Alright. As usual, I have saved the best for last. This Minecraft Plush Pig is Adorable. I love it. I want to own it. ClosetMonsterstoys on Etsy make all kinds of awesome pop culture plushies, but this pig is just too awesome for words.

*****

That’s it for this week. I’m off to patiently refresh the Minecraft page until the full version is released.

Reader Submission: BIG Creeper Plush

Geekcrafts reader MelloReflections sent us her foot tall creeper plush. She says:

“I made this Creeper plushie for my friend’s birthday- we’re both big fans of the game Minecraft.

The plushie stands about a foot tall; I used a 1 pixel: 0.5 inch scale. I had fun figuring out how to construct him so that the head is fully rotatable. The feet are weighted with beans so that he can stand quite sturdily on his own.

The plush currently resides on my friend’s computer tower at work.”

Want to make your own Minecraft crafts but don’t know where to start? Mello points us towards this useful resource for printable Minecraft Papercrafts (how many times the word ‘craft’!?) which you can easily modify into sewing patterns with a little… errr… braincraft? haha.

Harry Potter Friday Roundup

Well, it’s finally here. The END, I mean. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II has launched and with it we here at GeekCrafts bring you an entire week of Harry Potter themed posts. Let’s start things off with a roundup, shall we?

Remember the “Whereabouts Clock” that Mrs. Weasley used to magically keep track of her various family members? Most often they would be at home, work, or traveling, though there were occasional brushes with “mortal peril”, as well. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could use your loved ones’ Twitter feeds to track their whereabouts? With your own Magic Clock, you can!

One of the more interesting side characters is Luna Lovegood. She’s so quirky and more than a little odd, but has a good heart. She also has a unique fashion sense. Channel a little Luna with this pretty crochet scarf from Sabina24 on Etsy. Also check out this lacy Luna scarf pattern from Melissa Helton on Craftster.

This Instructables tutorial shows you how to convert old encyclopedias into Hogwart’s style spellbooks.

The “Daily Prophet” doesn’t just tell you the latest news in the wizarding world, it shows you – complete with moving pictures. Create your own digital moving pictures with this tutorial from Photojojo.

Not everything in Harry Potter’s world is sparkly magical fun. There are Death Eaters, and they aren’t very nice. For those days when you feel a little “not nice” yourself, perhaps you should don your own Death Eater Mask. You can also make your own version of Bellatrix’s Death Eater Mask.

In his first game of Quidditch, Harry had a heck of a time catching his first Golden Snitch. Perhaps this origami Golden Snitch will be easier for you to get your hands on.

Hopefully you have heard of the insanely popular and highly amusing Potter Puppet Pals. If not, go watch some videos, then come back, because you’ll definitely want to make your own crochet Potter Puppet Pal finger puppets, thanks to a free pattern from Melissa at Inner Child Crochet.

Speaking of PPP, check out this fantastic Snape puppet-plushie on Craftster! Doncha just wanna cozy up to it?

Another interesting side character is Mad Eye Moody. I would LOVE to read some backstory on him! Maybe Pottermore will provide that? Until then, maybe I’ll just have to stitch up this fabulous Mad Eye-patch from Kelly on Ravelry. There’s also a tutorial for a more realistic Mad Eye on Instructables.

And finally, we’ll wrap up this week’s roundup with some spellcasting. One of the more commonly used spells is “Lumos”. But what good is that spell if your wand doesn’t light up? Enter DadCanDo‘s tutorial on how to make a wand that lights up!

What other Harry Potter crafts have you seen or tried yourself? Feel free to Submit a GeekCraft to let us know!
