XBox 360 Controller Rings

XBox 360 Controller RingsCan’t bear to be parted with your beloved XBox 360 controller? Or simply feel like clearly showing your video game player pride?

Then check out these truly adorable mini XBox controller rings by Kelly (DeviantART member egyptianruin).

These pint-size polymer clay rings are hand sculpted, and available in various colors on her Etsy shop, Kelly’s Keychains.

Wearing one can help you beat the game withdrawals when you’re forced to reckon with the outside world. You can press the tiny buttons and pretend you’re actually making things happen!

Angry Birds Stitch Markers

Angry Birds Stitch MarkersCraftster user Leslieshappyheart made these cute yet angry Angry Birds stitch markers out of polymer clay for a knitting swap partner. I have to admit that I haven’t played Angry Birds yet, but the crafts I’m seeing from it are awesome. Anyone else have any?

(Leslie also makes and sells adorable purses in her Etsy shop–check them out!)

Lubu Polymer Clay Robots

lubu robotsNothing says a geeky “I love you” like a personal robot. Especially when that robot is a super-kawaii version of your favorite pop culture icon.

Etsy shop Lubu has dozens of adorable polymer clay robots fit for every nerd and movie buff, from Star Wars poster boy Vader to The Hangover’s Alan and baby Carlos. There’s even a team of awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

As if these weren’t cute enough on their own, Jenn and Tony Bot (the team behind Lubu) staged some classic movie scenes with their robots, including Return of the Jedi, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and — my personal favorite — The Exorcist.

As Lubu’s profile promises, your eyes will be bleeding rainbows by the time you’re done taking in all the cuteness!

Polymer Clay Nerdy Robot

"Polymer Clay Nerdy Robot"I am absolutely smitten with the polymer clay robots that Lisastarchild hand sculpts, especially this fabulous nerd love one! I came across her SleepyRobot13 shop on Etsy and fell in love. Her robot creations are charming and have wide ranging appeal to all sorts of nerds and geeks. She makes everything from a Batman Robot to a Zombie Robot. The Super Hero Robot (with glow-in-the-dark underpants!) and the 3-D Movie Robot are also adorable!
