Who doesn’t want a darling fairy hanging around your neck?
Lin’s Geekery makes these without any paint. Just glass and her mad skills.
Her shop is full of nerdy goodness. From Rupees to Yoshi and even Final Fantasy VII, there is something in there to make the geek in your life very happy.
What you are looking at isn’t a painting, it’s a quilt – a very well done one at that! Crafters user graverobbergirl made this quilt for their friends’ Halloween Wedding Anniversary. They were inspired by this picture on Flickr, and the results are fantastic. Check out their WIP photos on craftster.
My friend Jenny Ryan of Exit Through the Thrift Shop just arranged this lovely Star Wars shadowbox for her craft room and snapped a photo – love the action figures lounging in front of the sweetly embroidered living room with the Home Sweet Home sampler over the fireplace!
Craftster user WolfDreamer had planned to make this for a few years and posted it just in time for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 27th anniversary. This is based on the original series Michelangelo. I love his nunchucks! There’s a free pattern on her blog, and it can be modified to make any of the turtles. Raphael was always my favorite, what about you?
“I reject your reality and substitute my own!”
I just spotted CraftyOctober’s amazing MythBusters embroideries on Craftster, which were made as part of an embroidery diptych swap.
It’s the details of these seemingly simple pieces that amaze me: the metallic thread on the glasses and the careful attention to the texture of the hair. Especially Jamie’s gloriously bushy beard, which was made using a technique called turkey work.
Anyone who has ever been to my home knows I can’t live without Ikea. (I just can’t get enough!)
Over at Ikea Hackers, their submitters come up with some pretty awesome ways to modify Ikea furniture. While mod and hacking are inherently geeky anyways, I would like to bring your attention to these circuit board fixtures by Sara Reller. Love! Super geeky props to you, Sara. She made these for $50 (with stuff left over) 3 HEMMA fixtures, and blank circuit boards. Ikea stuff and a little creativity go a long way!
