Geek Glass

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.

To Boldly Create…

To Boldly CreateAn amazing piece of artwork in stained glass.  That is AidanT‘s mission and it seems he’s accomplishing it with wonderful results.  The piece shown is easily recognizable to even the most casual Star Trek fan.  Starfleet’s insignia is worn on the uniforms of every member from the lowest cadet to the highest admiral, for while evolving over the years and various reboots of Star Trek, it has maintained a very recognizable form.  Aidan has created a beautiful depiction of it in stained glass.

Aidan also has crafted a 3D version of the insignia as well.

Stained Glass Test Pattern

Stained Glass Test Pattern

Hello everyone!  Kim here :)  Since I’m one of the GC newbies, allow me to introduce myself…  by day I am a professional photographer and graphic artist living and working in the (now) thriving arts district of central Ohio.  When not doing photography related work, I spend my time off the computer– crafting and designing things usually relating to Doctor Who, Harry Potter, science, or the newest meme.  I’d likely shrivel up and creatively die if I wasn’t always working on *something*, and I think it’s important to enjoy the process, and also to leave things better than I found them.

I’m very honored and excited to be a part of this blog, and can’t wait to find all you geeks out there more supercool things to look at!!  Oh, and make sure to follow all my newest shenanigans at http://blkpixel.tumblr.com.

On to the good stuff!  This is one killer TV test pattern done in stained glass… It apparently belongs to TV/Video production guru Peter Roof of the Washington, DC area.  I think it’s the perfect combination of subtle geekery and bold clean lines of color, and also easy to recreate if you’re handy with a soldering iron!  I found this bad boy on Make: a DIY/Project site.

Did I mention it also travels in time?

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!
