Ballad of Serenity Cross Stitch

Ballad of Serenity Cross StitchI really miss Firefly. Every time I hear the first guitar twangs of the opening credits, I still get chills up my spine.

I got the same little thrill when I saw Craftster member audio’s  Ballad of Serenity cross stitch.

A simple piece, yes, but it possesses an honest, homey loveliness. Kind of like the ballad itself.

I could see something like this maybe hanging in Captain Mal’s cabin aboard Serenity. Out of sight of the crew, though, lest they think him overly sentimental.

Magritte Craft X 2

I saw my friend LeBrie Rich of PenFelt at Crafty Wonderland this weekend and marveled at her intricate needle-felted Magritte tribute! Awesome. She also has a PenFelted Andy Warhol (a Campbell’s Soup can), a Picasso, a Matisse, and many other masterpieces of wool felt amazingness in her collection (behind a velvet rope, which was an especially awesome touch).

Meanwhile, John Lohman‘s Mario Magritte (a stellar contribution to World of Geekcraft) is one of my favorite cross-stitches ever. Just love it! See a whole lot more of his work at Sprite Stitch.

Today the World of Geekcraft tour heads to IndieFixx! Huge thanks to everyone who’s been supporting the book – I really appreciate it!

SSID & WEP Key Cross-stitch Sampler

SSID & WEP Key Cross-stitch SamplerClever and crafty! Craftster user OmegaChicken cross-stitched this SSID & WEP Key sampler:

My housemate got the idea from when friends come over with laptops and mobile devices and always need to connect to her wifi.  It was a hassle looking at the router every time and she doesn’t know how to change the password to something memorable and whenever she wrote it down on something, it’d get lost.  So here it is to be framed and hung on the wall.

Also check out his Etsy shop

for more cross-stitched geekery.

Dr Who Cross Stitch

I like the bit when someone says it’s bigger on the inside! I always look forward to that.

This is the creation of Crafty TARDIS/livejournal member Xcarex. I love it.

If you’re not plugged into Crafty TARDIS you should be! I love the charming honesty of this cross stitch, the way the TARDIS seems to be shining with all those dotted lines, and the care and attention taken over the different shades of blue.
