Show your Quidditch love with these fun earrings!
I found these in Umbrella Laboratory’s Etsy shop. I really love how she took different findings and made the golden snitch! I think that makes them even more unique and awesome!
Thanks to a friend, I found Bethany Sew-&-Sew‘s blog and her amazing apron creations. collection with a range characters from superheroes to video games icons and Harry Potter. Who doesn’t want to look like one of their favorite characters while cooking a meal? Personally, I’m not big on cooking, but one of these aprons just might inspire me to practice more. Well, probably not, but I would look awfully cute turning on the microwave.
All good book worms should show off their favorite novels. This Harry Potter Book Bracelet is just one of the many items that Etsy user pandatreats has available in their shop. They also take custom requests so you can get all your favorite books or manga, and they ship them off as bracelets, necklaces, earrings, keychains, charms, and more. The only question now is, which of your favorite books do you choose?
I know Christmas was weeks ago, but Craftster’s Monthly challenge (due by today) was a Gingerbread House Contest. Among the unbelievable entries was mezcraft‘s Harry Potter inspired Burrow. She used two different gingerbread recipes to get different colored gingerbread, plus candy, cinnamon sticks, and cereal for the thatched roof. She even added the Weasley sweaters on a laundry line outside! I can’t get over how BIG it is, and how much detail she packed on (I still can’t believe it’s a gingerbread house)! Voting for the challenge starts tomorrow, and I can’t wait to see how she does!
Hello everyone! Kim here :) Since I’m one of the GC newbies, allow me to introduce myself… by day I am a professional photographer and graphic artist living and working in the (now) thriving arts district of central Ohio. When not doing photography related work, I spend my time off the computer– crafting and designing things usually relating to Doctor Who, Harry Potter, science, or the newest meme. I’d likely shrivel up and creatively die if I wasn’t always working on *something*, and I think it’s important to enjoy the process, and also to leave things better than I found them.
I’m very honored and excited to be a part of this blog, and can’t wait to find all you geeks out there more supercool things to look at!! Oh, and make sure to follow all my newest shenanigans at http://blkpixel.tumblr.com.
On to the good stuff! This is one killer TV test pattern done in stained glass… It apparently belongs to TV/Video production guru Peter Roof of the Washington, DC area. I think it’s the perfect combination of subtle geekery and bold clean lines of color, and also easy to recreate if you’re handy with a soldering iron! I found this bad boy on Make: a DIY/Project site.
