Faerie Fashion
After being heavily involved with historical reenactment for 19 years, I can appreciate great costuming, both in the time spent in its creation and the money invested. Costuming done right is a labor of love. One of my favorite “fun” types of costuming has to be faeries. There are no set rules, just let your mind run free!
sairosaurus on Craftster has shared her faerie creations. What is even better is that as you read through this thread, not only do you get to see some fantastic photos but she goes into her creative process for several bits and pieces of her costumes. She discusses how she made her goblin shoes, a goblin latex mask as well as her faerie wings. Her work is amazing!

Dr. Who Dalek in Love Coffee Mug
PERCOLATE!
Who wouldn’t love drinking coffee out of this amazing mug. Daleks are not knowing for feeling emotion, so when two fall in love it is truly a special thing to behold. Now you can commemorate this once in a life time occasion every morning while you drink your coffee.
The mug was made by Betwixxt on Etsy, and she has some other awesome gems in her shop like this K-9 mug or this Penguin mug with a twist!

Rushmore Lapel Pins
I don’t know about you, but I’m super excited for Wes Anderson’s new film Moonrise Kingdom. It all started with Rushmore, and it never really stopped. Wes Anderson’s keen eye for nostalgia, anachronistic clothing choices, and his keen use of 60’s and 70’s folk songs in just the right places have firmly ensconced him in my heart. I came across these on the old Etsy, lapel pins for perfect attendance and punctuality. Too perfect. The seller appropriately named SteveZissou also has some pretty awesome cuff links.

To Boldly Create…
An amazing piece of artwork in stained glass. That is AidanT‘s mission and it seems he’s accomplishing it with wonderful results. The piece shown is easily recognizable to even the most casual Star Trek fan. Starfleet’s insignia is worn on the uniforms of every member from the lowest cadet to the highest admiral, for while evolving over the years and various reboots of Star Trek, it has maintained a very recognizable form. Aidan has created a beautiful depiction of it in stained glass.
Aidan also has crafted a 3D version of the insignia as well.

Venom Nail Art – Flickr Friday
Nail art always fascinates me. Not the butterfly and bling kind. The geeky, awesome kind.
Well, there just so happened to be exactly that in the Geek Crafts Flickr pool this week. Flickrer ClaireWallis made epic Venom nail art! Look how fun that looks!
If only I had the patience…
