The only thing more fun than rooting for the underdog is loving the bad guy. Heath Ledger’s Joker made it easy and now, with ToxiCherry‘s Why So Serious? Keepsake Box, it’s easy to remember why we loved watching The Joker battle Batman so much.
Etsy seller pinktoque just introduced a line of soaps she calls GEEKSOAP. She’s got all sorts of fun designs – Facebook and Twitter, Batman and these operating system logos. She’s also got some cool Cthulhu stuff.
Craftster user tracethekat cross-stitches something every year for her very lucky boyfriend. This year he’s getting Harley Quinn from Batman. I have the attention span of a gnat, so I’m always impressed with large and detailed needlework.
So now that you’ve stuffed your face, it’s time to empty your wallet! Or, if you’re looking to save some cash, it’s time to get crafting! In honor of Black Friday (the shopaholic’s national holiday and every retail worker’s worst nightmare) here are some Black Crafts (note: not Dark Arts, that’s a differnent blog all together).
Chain Chomp Hat
The Knitting Ninja posted this Chain Chomp Hat on her blog. Chomps may not be the most commonly knitted Mario Bros villian, but they are the ones that look the coolest when they appear to be eating your head.
Mad Dog Softie
Morus sewed this Mad Dog Softie from the book “Softies Only A Mother Could Love” and posted it on craftster. He’s not particularly geeky, but he’s freaking adorable in an “I’m gonna bite your face off” sort of way.
Why so serious? Alisonwondeland put together this awesome Joker Costume and posted it on craftster. She says she got the outfit from the local Salvation Army (thrift store jackpot!) and the make up is regular old Halloween make up you can get anywhere. If you aren’t lucky enough to find a purple suit at the thrift store, I must say I preferred the candy striper outfit on The Joker in the film.
