WelderJoe recently posted pictures of a lamp he made, over on Imgur. It’s Bender’s head, from Futurama, made from an old steel fire extinguisher.
I don’t know where he’s getting all of those extinguishers from, but WelderJoe seems like he’s got a knack for upcycling them into lamps. He’s also made them into Minions and owls.
I know we’ve seen crocheted brain slugs on Geek Crafts before, but this one from Knitnut by JL is the cutest yet! Not only is it itty-bitty (and therefore adorable), it’s a hair clip, so you never have to worry about you losing your parasitic accessory.
There’s a chill in the air, so why not Zoidberg? What’s not to like about this Doctor Zoidberg Balaclava from Om Nom Nom Studios. It keeps you warm, and it puts strange little dangly squid monsters in front of your mouth. Best yet, it is nearly half of a Halloween costume. All you need is some similar color mittens and a lab coat and you’re ready to stay warm at an outdoor party.
Hm. Geek-themed stained glass seems to be much more common than I’d previously suspected (see previous GC posts here, here, here, here, and here). But I have to add the work of stained glass hobbyest-turned-artist Judy Mascolo to the pile. She began creating Nerd Glass at the urging of her son, a videogame designer, and will no doubt be swamped with commissions now that she’s been featured on Boing Boing. I love the adorable, perfect Peashooter from Plants vs. Zombies, but I think my personal favorite might be Bender. Or maybe the Planet Express ship. It’s hard to go wrong with Futurama-themed stained glass in my book.
Okay, okay. As 2012 breathes down our neck and we think about the future, what better to get you feeling cozy about it then some Futurama dolls?
Admittedly, I’m not linking to anyone but myself (Hooked Hands) today, but I used to sell these Nibbler and Leela dolls on Etsy, and the powers that be (the lawyers representing Futurama) told me and everyone else on Etsy to stop selling Futurama inspired crafts. They cannot however keep me from giving away those patterns to you! I wrote them up and put them on my blog, so I decided to share them here. Happy New Year everyone!
I ‘m a self confessed thread head, and I’m also a meme addict. Clearly so is craftster user OmegaChicken.
Not only have they stitched up this meme-tastic “Why not Zoidberg” cushion, but they’ve also shared the cross stitch chart, so we can all have geeky soft furnishings of our own … whoopwhoopwhoop!!
