“I have a compulsive need to make sets of things” is the title for these Star Wars embroideries, and I’m so glad she does! rollerderbysinner stitched these pink Boba Fett and purple Stormtrooper hoops, and they’re awesome (can you call a Stormtrooper adorable?)
My niece (who is 5) went to All Con in a purple Mandalorian costume. I think she needs something like this for her bedroom!
Need a Star Wars Lego wedding cake topper for your geeky wedding? Or, want to show your sweetie how special they are with a Lego flower bouquet that’ll never wilt?
Well, look no further than Folded Fancy Creations! Each Lego model is made by the talented Mariann Asanuma, the world’s first female freelance Lego artist.
Mariann is one of my crafty heroes, and (full disclosure) one of my high school friends. She worked her way up to Master Model Builder at LEGOLAND California (the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign in Miniland is her handiwork), before striking out on her own. Now, she builds custom models, writes how-to Lego books, and manages Folded Fancy.
If you just want a little touch of Lego in your life, she also makes adorable wee magnets (like these Pac-Man magnets), and geek chic jewelry out of rare Lego tiles.

With that, my friends, my time at Geek Crafts has come to an end. I love writing for this wonderful blog, but, with the upcoming release of my first comic book project, it’s time for me to devote myself completely to my fiction and filmmaking. Yeep! I’m making the big leap. So, I’ll still be in the geek loop, just on the other side of it.
Thank you for reading my posts, and for all the lovely comments. Keep creating, and I’ll catch you on the flip side!
Geekily Yours,

Check out this hyper-movie- accurate Bellatrix costume made by Burdastlyle user and blogger Cation Designs.
Aside from looking… well… amazing there are a few other awesome things about this project and this crafter that makes me love it even more:
UPDATE: Cindy from Cation Designs has just updated her blog with a tutorial on how you can make your own Bellatrix corset. You can see the tutorial here.
Love is in the air.
When I happened upon this set of Aluminum Cuff Bracelets, I knew I had to share them with all of you. There is no better display of geek love as far as I am concerned. I can remember watching Star Wars as a kid, and there was no one cooler than Han Solo. With his cool, flippant attitude he taught me everything I know about love today. Actually, maybe that’s a bad thing.
Etsian Annie Nygard’s shop, spiffingjewelry, features a slew of awesome stamped aluminum treasures. It is definitely worth checking out. She loves doing custom work, so if you have something in mind that you want you would be a fool to turn down this opportunity. That’s right. A fool.
