Hm. I quite like the art of Booknick—lots of great sci-fi–themed art printed on salvaged book pages. I love the delightful C3PO in Lolita glasses and the charming TARDIS. Super reasonable prices, too.
What do you give the baby that has awesome parents!? His own cardboard bucket of bolts :-)
The awesome work of The Karpiuks isn’t a traditional tutorial but they’ve got great step-by-step photos on their flickr.
Excellent work, now dress your baby as an Ewok… DO IT NOW!!.
Today I would like to show you the amazing work of Carrie from Etsy. She makes the most amazing beaded bracelets that must take so much time to make. She mainly makes Pokemon jewelry but also has:
I highly suggest you check out her shop and get yourself some geek chick jewelry.
Holy Mother of Meteors, these shoes are full of all kinds of sassy geekitude! I would so rock these.
Spied on Geek-lee-tist, these custom-made hand-painted Star Wars shoes are the handiwork of Holly Grothues on Etsy. I bow to her greatness – of painting ability, and geek-lovin’ creativity.
What I love is that she’s not married to Star Wars – she’s totally geek-friendly:
“I can do pretty much ANYTHING, from geekery (Harry Potter, LOTR, Star Wars, Star Trek, The Hunger Games, etc.) other movies, animes, video games, etc. to general designs (stripes, polka dots, etc.), personalization (quotes, names, etc.) you name it!”
I would have a hard time choosing between Star Trek images and some Firefly quotes, but you can bet I’m going to start looking for the right pair of fabric-based heels!
And you? What custom order would you request for your own geek-tastic heels?
It’s about Prom time, and getting close to the busy wedding season. With that in mind, here is an awesome idea to geekify your wedding in a simple, but awesome way.
For those of us dating/marrying geeks, its hard to find a way to show our geekiness in a fun but easy way that won’t distract from the event as a whole. If you don’t want a cake in the shape of the Millennium Falcon, or to carry around a storm trooper helmet to prom, try these:
Made by Kristylynn84 on Instructables.com, she goes through each step individually on how to make Star Wars inspired Boutonnieres. These boutonnieres certainly wouldn’t detract from the wedding, and would definitely give you brownie points with your geeky date to the prom.
This baby blanket is practically a reason to procreate!
(Geekcrafts does not endorse the practice of procreation in order to receive knitted goods…)
Want to make it for someone you know/love/met today on a bus?! Well you’re in luck! because the fabulous Leah Fenton has made the knitting charts available free on Ravelry and her own website.
Perhaps you cross stitch and you can’t decide whether to knit them or use the charts as part of an awesome sampler? I can feel the conflict within you!
