Space Invaders Clutch

Space Invaders ClutchRecently I’ve been doing lots of traveling, and tiny bags or clutches are instrumental in organization and packing.  This Space Invaders clutch bag is perfect!!  I especially love the pink zipper and handle… ooh and the pleats!  The only thing I’m left to wonder is, where did you find that great fabric stellarcheri?!

The purple heart clutch in her newest post is also fabulous, and I’ve fallen madly in love with it as well.  Safe to say I’ll be following her updates from now on!  stellarcheri is on Craftster, Etsy AND  Facebook :)

Stained Glass Test Pattern

Stained Glass Test Pattern

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.

Doctor Who Roundup

Happy Friday Everyone!

It’s  the very first roundup of 2011 and I’m here to show off the many awesome Doctor Who crafts around the web.

**********

10. A TARDIS Ring

Not only is this a TARDIS you can wear on your finger, it sparkles! This appeals to both my nerd side and my need for bling. Maybe if you’re lucky, your special someone will give this to you for Valentine’s Day. I know my fingers are crossed!

**********

9.  Doctor Who Charm

Was David Tennant your favourite Doctor? Then show off your love for him with this fabulous polymer clay charm. He even comes equipped with his signature sonic screwdriver and black rimmed glasses.

***********

8. Make Your Own K-9

Know what your house is missing? Your own personal K-9 unit.  It would go fabulously with your TARDIS.

They even give you directions  for LED eyes. He is absolutely adorable and I will be making my very own soon!

***********

7. K-9 Cross Stitch

While we’re on the topic of K-9, why does he look so disco? If you’re not commited enough to make your own 3d K-9, you can always make him into a darling cross-stitch to hang on your wall.

**********

6. Crocheted Sonic Screwdriver

No matter his form, Doctor Who never leaves his TARDIS without his sonic screwdriver and you shouldn’t either! It’s soft and bendy so you can easily cram it into a pocket. You never know when it might come in handy.

**********

5. TARDIS Phone Case

What better way to keep your phone looking shiny and new than a TARDIS case? It’s made of soft felt so it’s functional and fun.

**********

4. Doctor Who Regenerations Peg People

Can’t pick a favourite Doctor? There’s no need with this awesome collection! They are only a little under 3″ tall so you can have one pretty much anywhere in your house. Everywhere you look can be a different Doctor!

**********

3. Colourful Dalek Pins

They come in many different colours, so you can buy one to match every outfit! Any time someone questions you about it, you can yell “EXTERMINATE!” and see what happens!

**********

2. The Fourth Doctor Mini Watercolour

I don’t know about you, but my favourite Doctor hands down is Tom Baker. This artist has done a great job of capturing all of the fourth Doctor’s awesomeness on a tiny medium. It would look great framed on your wall!

**********

1. Doctor Who Crochet Scarf

The true sign of a Doctor Who Geek is the  scarf.

This one isn’t quite as long as most of them out there, so you will be *less* likely to trip over it.

Be the envy of your Doctor friends with this fabulous scarf, I know I’d be jealous!

Scrabble Board Picture Frame

If you are a word-nerd like me, this Scrabble Board Picture Frame is probably lifting your spirits as I type. Kelly Jensen from photojojo submitted this awesome picture frame project to us and I was too busy digging through my garage for an old Scrabble board to post it before now.  Check out photojo for more ideas using different board games and a couple of definitions of those weird “Scrabble words” that the real pros use.
