Craftster user Paleona bought this plush Aliens queen (from who???) for her husband for Christmas and then made a baby chestburster to go with her. Click through to see a facehugger too!
I recently featured a Blackberry case made by a follower of geek crafts on twitter, Dawn Crawford. Being the good wife that she is, she made her husband, Brian Crawford send us a couple submissions as well, and so we thank her, because this Space Invaders Star Wars Mashup Skateboard he made for the Bordo Bello fundraiser for the arts this year is just awesome. Not only did he take inspiration from the awesome Space Invaders 8-bit look, but he incorporated into a Star Wars theme, and if that wasn’t enough for you, this baby lights up!
Pictures don’t really do this beauty justice, so be sure to check out their husband & wife craft blog Crap I Make to see the video Dawn shot of her hubby’s most excellent creation!
When we decided to each pick our top three Halloween costumes from the last two months, I knew I had a tough job ahead of me. We found so much pure gold this year, and it was really hard to choose just three, but I did my best. So without further adieu, my top three:
The Yip Yips by Tracy Lawson, they are sparkly, cute, and nostalgic! What more could you want? And if you’re going to be an adult in a Sesame Street costume, please, please, do not dress up as Elmo!
Two: Baby Elvis Costume! Seriously, at what other time has a kid so small rocked so much (I’m excluding toddlers with mohawks for this one)? CuriousFae did an awesome job on this one! (via craftster).
And last but not least: THE GORE! Halloween is historically about death and ghosts, and GORE, why else did I rent three horror movies to watch tonight? The Dissection Costume wins on the gore factor! To make it even cooler, jessicution didn’t go to the Halloween super store to pick this number up, it is all made from scratch, even the fake blood! Totally awesome! (via craftster).
Craftster user Vampira_666 made her baby a Moogle costume from Final Fantasy. Click through to see more pictures, including the super cute wings, and details on the construction.
Okay, this isn’t actually geeky, but it cracks me up so I’m posting it anyway. Craftster user chickenfeet (I’m sensing a theme here) made a Kentucky Fried Chicken Colonel Sanders costume for her baby last year. For the wig, she knitted a cap and then tied yarn all over in loops.
Cardboard + duct tape + colorful paint= perhaps the coolest geeky costume ever. Designerd posted this baby at instructables, and it’s just amazing. The added detail of making each square on this Rubik’s Cube Costume appear “twistable” makes this a cardboard box costume that takes a little more than some spray paint and accrodian tubes for arms, but would be so worth the trouble.
