Daleks and perler beads? I’m there! Debra features this Perler Dalek Picture Frame, and many other geek-tastic perler frames on her DeviantArt site, under YumeLeona23.
O-mazing!!! I wish I had this block style door just so I could paint it blue <3
Flickr user normaljean has this TARDIS door in her home, and there’s even a gallery of photos showing the work in progress. A musician and general artist, she definitely has awesome work, so check out her photostream for fun crafts and adventures! (adorable mini felted things! omg!!)

Happy Friday Everyone!
It’s the very first roundup of 2011 and I’m here to show off the many awesome Doctor Who crafts around the web.
**********
10. A TARDIS Ring
Not only is this a TARDIS you can wear on your finger, it sparkles! This appeals to both my nerd side and my need for bling. Maybe if you’re lucky, your special someone will give this to you for Valentine’s Day. I know my fingers are crossed!
**********
Was David Tennant your favourite Doctor? Then show off your love for him with this fabulous polymer clay charm. He even comes equipped with his signature sonic screwdriver and black rimmed glasses.
***********
Know what your house is missing? Your own personal K-9 unit. It would go fabulously with your TARDIS.
They even give you directions for LED eyes. He is absolutely adorable and I will be making my very own soon!
***********
While we’re on the topic of K-9, why does he look so disco? If you’re not commited enough to make your own 3d K-9, you can always make him into a darling cross-stitch to hang on your wall.

6. Crocheted Sonic Screwdriver
No matter his form, Doctor Who never leaves his TARDIS without his sonic screwdriver and you shouldn’t either! It’s soft and bendy so you can easily cram it into a pocket. You never know when it might come in handy.
**********
What better way to keep your phone looking shiny and new than a TARDIS case? It’s made of soft felt so it’s functional and fun.

4. Doctor Who Regenerations Peg People
Can’t pick a favourite Doctor? There’s no need with this awesome collection! They are only a little under 3″ tall so you can have one pretty much anywhere in your house. Everywhere you look can be a different Doctor!
**********
They come in many different colours, so you can buy one to match every outfit! Any time someone questions you about it, you can yell “EXTERMINATE!” and see what happens!

2. The Fourth Doctor Mini Watercolour
I don’t know about you, but my favourite Doctor hands down is Tom Baker. This artist has done a great job of capturing all of the fourth Doctor’s awesomeness on a tiny medium. It would look great framed on your wall!
**********
The true sign of a Doctor Who Geek is the scarf.
This one isn’t quite as long as most of them out there, so you will be *less* likely to trip over it.
Be the envy of your Doctor friends with this fabulous scarf, I know I’d be jealous!
The Doctor Who Round 4 swap is nearly finished over at Craftster, and there is some great stuff! My absolute favorite though is the stained glass TARDIS clock thefett made for his partner Ryn (he also made the Master’s laser screwdriver. Seriously, go look). The mirror totally works as the time vortex. I really want this clock! The mirror apparently broke in transit, but thefett is as awesome as he is talented, and he’s fixed it. Fantastic!

This may not be your typical ‘craft’ given the mass-production, but until Midnight (you hear that, Cinderella? TODAY until MIDNIGHT only! E.S.T.) you can order a most fantastic t-shirt from Tee Fury featuring the only thing out there scarier than Daleks and Cybermen combined: the Vashta Nerada. Ever jump at your own shadow? Chastise yourself for being silly over it? Well, don’t. If you haven’t seen this Doctor Who episode, you owe it to yourself. Just be prepared to never look at the darkness the same way. Ever. Again.
The design, appropriately titled “Count the Shadows” by Artist/Designer Jordan M Dalton is quoted in his Tee Fury interview saying:
I wanted to make a design for all the hardcore Doctor Who fans and make it something really specific, but also really cool looking for everyone else.
He was also kind enough to share the Doctor’s own words regarding these little terrors:
“Almost every species in the universe has an irrational fear of the dark. But they’re wrong, ’cause it’s not irrational. It’s Vashta Nerada. It’s what’s in the dark. It’s what’s always in the dark.”
Mr. Dalton, I do believe you overwhelmingly achieved the coveted balance between “geek” and “fraking awesome” with this design. Being a ‘hardcore’ whovian myself, I didn’t even need to read the banners to recognise the reference. That terrifying image is well emblazoned upon my memory, and your rendering of it is spot-on. Well done!
The t-shirt can be found only on 12 December 2010 in Eastern Time (that’s New York, NY USA time, folks) until 11:59 PM at:
