Urban Princess made this amazing Pac Man Ghost Scarf on her Etsy shop. An ode to everyone’s favorite dot-eating arcade game, complete with googly eyes, and it will keep your neck warm!
Flickr user pardalote_40 posted this great Space Invaders beadwork necklace, aptly named “pewpew,” in the Geek Crafts photo pool.
I found some great bedding on Craftster recently.
Maddys Mum made her husband this lap-sized Space Invaders quilt for Christmas. The simple yet detailed square per pixel worked out great!
Another Christmas gift, Lovefrozenstars made this rockin’ (oh my, did I really just say “rockin'”?) comforter for her boyfriend with the Rock Band guitar icon. She includes some tips in her post, including how she did the image,
“To get the symbol, I brought a print out of it to a Kinko’s and had them blow it up as large as they could. I cut that image out and traced it onto white fleece that I sewed onto the front.”
Of course, both gifts were very well-received!
Be on the lookout for posts from new Geek Crafter Renee – she’ll be blogging regularly here at Geek Crafts.
We hope everyone has a happy, crafty, geeky new year!
Geek Crafts reader Renee of The Domestic Scientist submitted this amazing Space Invaders cross-stitched guitar strap for her husband. She says she’ll be modding his guitar next! Click through to her blog and Flickr account – she’s got a lot of really cool crafts, geekery and geek crafts. There are even some extremely cool patterns for stuff like a NES controller cross-stitch pattern and an Army of Darkness stencil.
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!
