Does this count as geeky? It’s cracking me up, so I think I’ll file it under Science. Craftster user wibit crocheted this hilarious Great White Shark, complete with severed leg in his mouth. Check out her blog, Roman Sock, for more of her own crafts, as well as some great crafty finds.
What geek doesn’t at least respect Linux? And even if you aren’t a fan of the OS, who doesn’t love Tux the Linux Penguin? I know I do! So here are ten of the coolest Tux projects I could find on the world wide web.
For those of you with a sweet tooth, Joseph Hall posted this amazing 3-D Tux cake on his blog that he baked in his own apartment kitchen! He even includes step by step instructions and a list of things you will need if you decide to tackle this adorable and tasty project.
Eric at Geekadelphia posted this Blade Runner origami unicorn with a link to a short how-to on recreating Gaff’s final calling card in the Blade Runner Movie. So if you think your buddy may be an android, or if you just like the movie, this is a quick crafty project that only requires a peice of foil paper and a little time!
I got this amazing submission from Geek Crafter Beth. She made a felt and embroidered book detailing the scenes of Manos: The Hands of Fate. (A 1966 horror movie – I had to look it up, too.) Beth posted all the pages of the book on Craftster, under the user name mcbeth. You all must click through to see the rest of the book – it is amazing!!! She’s also got all sorts of crafty things posted on her website, The Blue Trinity Gallery.
Kimberly Chapman of kimberlychapman.com made this great knitted DNA model she calls “Baby’s first DNA Model”. There’s no better way to make sure your child (or someone else’s) is introduced to geekdom early. You never know, your baby might like this DNA model so much, that they go on to become award winning scientists (or geeks)!
Kelly_Bear posted this great at home Dalek-Shoe project on craftster.org. I suppose she felt that slip-on Vans just weren’t awesome enough, so she added her own Doomsday theme to these. On the heels they both say “EXTERMINATE!”. If you want some awesome Doctor Who shoes of your own, and just aren’t keen on Daleks, I say go for a TARDIS, I would think they are easier to paint anyway!
