When It Just Needs to be a Little More Sonic

Or perhaps for those hard tor each places, these miniature sonic screwdrivers are perfect. They’re easy to keep track of as you can wear them as earrings, charms on a necklace or bracelet, or even make a few to use as stitch markers. Julie, known as oboe_wan on LiveJournal, has made the Ninth and Tenth Doctors but does suggest that the Eleventh’s can be made using a bead with the appearance of a claw for the end. She has kindly provided a tutorial for those interested in making a few of their own.

Dammit, Jim!

Let’s face it: One of the best things about TOS was every time Bones said, “Dammit, Jim, I’m a doctor, not a _____.” It happened a lot. The more it happened, the funnier it got. It’d make for one helluva drinking game (I’m sure it already has, in fact). So, naturally, this Trek magnet/button set tickled me. There are bunch of geeky button and/or magnet sets in the hownice Etsy shop, so peruse at will.

Marjee-reporting for duty

Zelda wants you to know I am writing this post instead of petting her.

Hello there! My name is Marjee and I’ll be your Monday blogger here at Geek Craft! Here is what you might want to know about me…I am a former high school chemistry teacher who has spent some time designing video games for both PBS and National Geographic (educational ones, natch!) These days I’m the technology specialist at a math and science magnet high school. I am also completing my doctorate degree in research and evaluation, which involves geeky topics such as epistemology and statistics.

In addition to my geek-for-profit, I pursue geeky-ness for pleasure as well. This includes activities such as the watching and obsessive re-watching of science/ speculative fiction (Star Trek, X-Files, BSG, Buffy, Dr. Who, etc.,). I also read and write comics, love vegetarian cooking, enjoy spoiling my two yappy little dogs, Bowser and Zelda and adventuring with my husband. My own craft passions include sewing, softies, and crochet. My proficiency level is nowhere near the make-your own pattern stage, so I’m eager to learn from all of you guys. You can see my jibber-jabber on twitter as well, @mchmiel

Chicago Comic Con 2011 – DIY edition

As you may have read in my previous post, I recently attended the Wizard World Comic Con in Chicago. While many in attendance were in full-scale cosplay mode (costume-play), some stood out to me because of the crafty–DIY nature of their projects.

I loved this crocheted ode to Dr. Who‘s Tardis. My model very sportingly gave me two views.

And with another homage to the good doctor – a walking Tardis! I’m not sure how much of the con this young lady got to see, as she was stopped frequently for photo opps!

This Scott Pilgrim-inspired couple didn’t seem to think their costume very photo-worthy, but I thought they were great. I loved their little labels on their shirts and the giant mallet. Made me want to watch the movie again. It also reminded me of this fantastic embroidery project, posted on GeekCrafts earlier this year. (And I have seen a girl with hair like that – that’s mine pretty much every morning when I wake up! Except the purple part…)

I had to marvel at this repurposed use of a set of Star Wars sheets, used to create a smart suit for the Mayor of Star Wars Town.

Unfortunately I didn’t notice many crafty things for sale at booths, but then, I was cruising through the aisles at warp speed. I was able to nab a few pictures.
