Reader Submission: Etched Portal Glass

This etched Portal glass (or Handheld Portal Vessel) was made and submitted by Flickr user Rappe.

Would you drink out of a glass with the Aperture Science logo on it? if so you’re braver than me.

I was transfixed by the blue and orange drink… luckily Rappe clears up the mystery of the ingredients over at the Spritestitch boards:
“The drink we ended up coming up with was mango smoothie on the bottom and Blueberry Lemonade Jones soda on the top. It was surprisingly tasty, but less than a minute after the pictures were taken the smoothie floated up to the top and got all gross looking. Still tasted great though.”

Get your geek on for Child’s Play

This cool charity campaign was recently posted on the Geeks United in Crafts Facebook group wall, and I immediately knew I had to share it here.

Mom's Basement Charity Etsy Shop for Child's Play

Mom’s Basement, a geek community blog, has created a charity Etsy shop to support Child’s Play, an organization that raises money to provide video games, toys, movies and other entertainment to children’s hospitals. All of the money made in this shop will be donated to Child’s Play.

One of the items donated is this fabulous cross-stitched quote from Dresden. I can easily envision it adorning a wall in my own home.

You also gotta love this Little Miss Goth tile pendant, and these upcycled Supergirl earrings.

Pac-Man Cufflinks

Pac-Man CufflinksI have made no secret of my love of video games, but did you know that I am also quite a classy fellow.  Like any gentleman with refined tastes, I love cufflinks.  They are an important part of any classy gentleman’s wardrobe.

These Pac-Man cufflinks would go best with a glass of expensive champagne and some polite dinner conversation.  Etsian CsCharms has crafted them perfectly out of enamel and silver plated brass, as it was done in the Victorian era.

Go see the cufflinks!

Tutorial Tuesday: R2D2 Lamp

Instructables contributor Nylanan put together this amazing tutorial on how to transform an old silver lamp into an  homage to our favourite comedy sidekick droid, R2D2.

lets have 3 random facts about R2D2:

  1. The actor that played him (Kenny Baker) actually REALLY didn’t get on with the actor that played C3po (Anthony Daniels). In-fact to this day they’ve got a really rocky relationship…
  2. Kenny Baker actually had rude pictures of ladies stuck to the inside of the helmet of his costume (!!!) to keep him amused during the long hours of filming!! SHOCKING!!
  3. A couple of months ago I went to a convention called “Collectormania” in Milton Keynes and saw Kenny Baker chasing* a guy dressed in Storm Trooper armour trying to hit him with his walking stick! The storm trooper turned around and said “That’s not very nice” and Kenny Baker’s handler replied “well , you did try to kill him!” – priceless!!

*well he uses a wheelchair now, so he was being pushed by a handler, which made the whole scene even more surreal!

Boba Fett and Stormtrooper Embroideries

“I have a compulsive need to make sets of things” is the title for these Star Wars embroideries, and I’m so glad she does! rollerderbysinner stitched these pink Boba Fett and purple Stormtrooper hoops, and they’re awesome (can you call a Stormtrooper adorable?)

My niece (who is 5) went to All Con in a purple Mandalorian costume. I think she needs something like this for her bedroom!
