Pokémon Easter Eggs!

Pokemon Easter Eggs

It’s Easter!! And what better way to celebrate than an Easter egg hunt with Pokémon eggs?! Gotta find ’em all!

Yaltro on Flickr made this fantastic selection of Pokémon Easter eggs, with food dye, sharpies and white out. The first lot were made in 2011 and the second lot in 2012… I hope there’s a third lot on the way this year!

Why not give it a go yourself this Easter? My favourites from this lot are Psyduck and Snorlax! Do you have any other ideas for geeky Easter Eggs?

No, it’s not international food week on Geek Crafts. Around here, the sun is trying its best to keep the ponds from freezing, but it’s not working out too well. Bikini season seems years away. Plus, this weekend’s Easter. Eggs! Chocolate! Meat! It’s the perfect time of the year for food!

This Friday round-up I’d like to focus on kyaraben, short for character bento. Let’s see what Wikipedia can tell us about it…

Pocket Felt Super Hero Owls

What’s better than tiny felt owls? Superhero owls. What could be better than that? Batman and Robin as superhero owls.  Etsy seller Tiny Felts has owls in a variety of colors and designs and welcomes custom orders.  Perhaps you’d like to request, a clown owl of crime to face off our dynamic duo.  She also has options for customizing your owls. Super-owl, Spider-owl, Green Lant-owl, this could be a lot of fun.

Dress like a Ewok

Dress like an Ewok

Why? Because Ewoks are awesome! Whether you fell in love with him in Return of the Jedi, or he stole your heart with his “Starcruiser, crash!” antics in Caravan of Courage, we all seem to have a soft spot for Wicket the Ewok – and now you can dress up like him too! (headstands and battling giant spiders optional)

Kristen Stevenson from TinyPurrs.com came up with this neat scoodie (that’s scarf and hoodie, don’tcha know?) pattern for all you crocheters out there and has released it as a free Ravelry download.

Plush Zergling

Plush Zergling

I’m not much of a gamer but I did play a little bit of StarCraft once upon a time. I don’t recall the Zerg being quite this cuddly though! This cutie was created by Ange, in response to her nephew’s request for a Zergling of his very own. Ange decided to challenge herself to make one, even though she had never created a pattern for a plushie before. I think she’s succeeded beautifully! You can check out more of Ange’s clever crafts, of both the geeky and non-geeky variety, at her blog Crafty Distractions.
