Stitch by stitch and pixel by pixel, cross stitch is a great medium for geek crafts! Get out some graph paper and markers and see what kind of designs you can come up with.
Flickr user a440 is a lucky guy. His wife cross stitched this based on a photo of the introduction to the UK sitcom The IT Crowd. The guy on the left is even wearing a Space Invaders t-shirt!
Geek Crafts reader Kat sent us a link to her awesome blog of video game sprite t-shirts that she hand-paints as gifts for friends. She specializes in NES sprites. I am *so* impressed with how crisp and precise her painting is. I think the Bubble Bobble guy is my favorite.
I happened to visit NerdyShirts tonight at just past midnight EST and saw they were having a $1 sale! I picked up two Don’t Hate The Player tees and one (misprint) Free Hugs tee. $3 plus $8 shipping so $11 total for three t-shirts! SWEET!
They say they are doing this all week with new items each day!
Beware Cylons. Craftster user Bunny in a Bear made this Battlestar Galactica logo t-shirt. He ironed on freezer paper as a stencil. This method has been making the Internet rounds for the past year or so. Freezer paper stencils are like single-use silk screens.
Etsy seller nodemo (short for no demographic) hand-prints these Ghost Party t-shirts to order. They’re available in mens and ladies fits and lots of colors.
