Knit Your Own Superhero, or Stormtrooper, or Hobbit

Nerd Knitting on Tumblr has a series of patterns for dolls, across a variety of fandoms. But what caught my eye was one of the most recent posts. With Great Knitting Comes Great Responsibility.

Spider-Man has always been one of my favorite superheroes. So I was even more pleased when I wandered over to the tumblr and found characters from Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Batman, The Hobbit, and even Captain Jack…Sparrow. The pattern is worked flat then sown up and stuffed to make the doll. The patterns build up from one another, so I’d say read a couple before you get started, but this is mentioned in each one. So get your needles and ‘Let’s put a smile on that face’.

Walt Disney and Pixar Posters

I’ve recently stumbled upon Etsy user Edmund and his shop posterexplosion. He sells minimalistic posters, printed on heavyweight 220g paper featuring, for instance, the Justice League, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and of course, Walt Disney and Pixar. What’s better, the more you buy, the cheaper they get. Worldwide shipping for six posters is just eight dollars. (That’s less than shipping them to the next-door town, here in The Netherlands!)

From this set, my favorite is definitely Wall-E. Aren’t those big puppy eyes simply adorable? You don’t like Disney? Pick six others for 60 or try these slightly manlier Batman posters.

Captain Malcolm Reynolds: Man or Mouse?!

Have you ever seen something so cute you’ve actually squealed out loud? Of course you have; you’re a Geek Crafts reader. But seriously, I’ve just had the biggest cute-fest in weeks browsing through Quernus Crafts’ photostream over on Flickr, after seeing this incredibly wonderful mini sculpture:

It’s Mal Reynolds! From Firefly! But he’s a mouse!

I was a HUGE fan of Firefly (why, Fox, whyyy?) so was instantly drawn to this precious piece of polymer clay. But then I looked through some of the other things that Kirsten has made and found there was a goldmine of beautifully crafted figurines, and something for any type of geek. Harry Potter geeks, Terry Pratchett geeks, Comic Book geeks, Torchwood geeks, Hobbit geeks, Manga geeks, Dr Who geeks, Science geeks, Star Wars geeks, or just a geek who likes cute things.

Check out the Quernus Crafts website too, where you can shop or even commission your own Quernus creation. I am now deleting all my Quernus bookmarks though, because I’m scared I’ll just go and buy everything.

Fun And Flirty Femme Joker

I haven’t seem too much for cosplay here, but when I saw Callesto Fox’s femme fatale Joker, I thought she deserved a place among the geeks.

“This Femme Joker cosplay isn’t serious at all. It features cosplayer Callesto all dolled up in a mini-skirted version of Joker’s outfit based on his look in Arkham Asylum. The spats are a nod to one of Callesto’s other favorite Batman villains, Max Shreck.”

I mean, come on…look how pretty and flirty she is as The Joker! She might as well be an Easter egg, for as springy as she looks. Personally, I’d like to see a male version of Harley Quinn with her.

Callesto has a mostly private Facebook page, but you can check her out on Deviant Art. She’s also an awesome Merida from “Brave.”

Pocket Felt Super Hero Owls

What’s better than tiny felt owls? Superhero owls. What could be better than that? Batman and Robin as superhero owls. Etsy seller Tiny Felts has owls in a variety of colors and designs and welcomes custom orders. Perhaps you’d like to request, a clown owl of crime to face off our dynamic duo. She also has options for customizing your owls. Super-owl, Spider-owl, Green Lant-owl, this could be a lot of fun.

New Geek Crafts Writer: AmyLynn98 – A DIY Jedi Wanna Be

amylynn98

“Always in motion is the future.”

–Yoda, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Good morning, fellow Craft Geeks! I’m AmyLynn98 and I get to join all of you as your new Saturday morning poster. I enjoy crochet (a lot of the kinds of crochet and sewn items I make tend to be toys for friends and family made from my own patterns), sewing and card making as my main crafts, and now I can show all of you the really creative and crafty people out there that share our love handmade goodies. My favorite item that I’d like to take a crack at myself are these awesome TARDIS Chuck Taylors!

Some of the “geek” things that currently turn me on are Spider-Man (Peter Parker), Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew), Batman, Star Wars, Star Trek (I called myself a Trekkie before Trek was cool, and was proud of it), Doctor Who (my Doctors are #1, #4 and #10), Stephen King (I have a dog named Cujo), “The Big Bang Theory,” “Face Off” on SyFy, Abraham Lincoln, the Terminator, and most anything Halloween-related (more about the holiday than the movies, but those were good too). My plans for Halloween this year is to make a Gonk droid for my yard, finish off my Jedi costume (I’m a DIY Jedi!) and fix my full size guillotine.

Since I have to act like an adult most times, I work as a volunteer coordinator for a local hospice. I was able to start sharing my love of all things yarny and crocheted with our patients by providing them with handmade blankets. Volunteers up and down the East Coast help me to make them, and they all rock for it!

See you all on Saturday mornings…after the good cartoons are over, of course! Last one to the TV is a rotten egg!
