Pirates versus ninjas? Please. We all know the real literary smack-down is between vampires and wizards.
Whether you’re on team fangs or team fireballs, you can find cards and bookmarks to give to friends on the opposite side of the debate on Erin’s Hesed Books and Gifts Etsy store.
I immediately fell in love with this Star Wars Solids Quilt that Emily of Creative Chicks at Play made for her son’s 12th birthday. The front is amazing, and the back is a killer Star Wars sheet – plus her long-arm quilter inscribed “May The Force Be With You” into the quilting!
Man I wish I could draw. Then I could try to make these for myself! cakewalkqueen made a pair of Exploding TARDIS sneakers using sharpies! She based them on a pair she saw on Etsy that feature Van Gogh’s drawing of the TARDIS exploding from the Doctor Who episode “The Pandorica Opens”. One shoe says “The pandorica will open” on the outside and the other says “Silence will fall”.
“Knitting may be a centuries-old craft, but the results can be quite high-tech. For example, it’s now possible to store data on a scarf. And the good news is, the construction is completely open source.”This lady here is Christine Dumoulin, and she not only created this fabulous scarf (and wrote that witty introduction) but also shared the pattern on the magical interwebs!
I can’t knit, but it’s things like this that make me really wish I could. Once you get started the possibilities are endless, binary cardigans, binary baby clothes?
You can even go all out and hide secret messages in your binary wear like Craftster user Jaberwocky, who hid lines from the Tao Te Ching in their binary scarf!
This “I heart brains” best friends necklace set is the perfect thing for horror-loving BFFs.
Hand-made out of polymer clay by Sarah, these and other creepy-cool organ-influenced accessories are available at her Etsy store Beat Black.
Give one to the friend you trust not to eat your brains when the zombie apocalypse hits!
Kimby posted this gorgeous Last Airbender blanket on her DeviantArt page. It always amazes me the designs people can make with crochet. The four symbols are perfect! And it’s huge…I want one! She has the pattern and tutorial on her blog, with tips. The most important one: “And this one last, very crucial tip: Make sure to watch your Avatar DVDs while working on this blanket. On repeat. For several hours at a time…”
