I Hearth You Friendship Necklaces

I Hearth You Friendship NecklacesYou know those friendship necklaces?  The ones where one side says “Best” and the other side says “Friends”, and you can wear one while your friend wears the other?  I always thought the person who got “Best” got the better end of the deal, because they were the best.

Geek Onsies

Creator Rossie says:

“Iron-on transfer paper exists because I *heart* Daleks.  And so should my baby, darn it.  Though if it turns out to be a boy that bow could get awkward.”

I know exactly what she means! I’ve recently made my peace with iron-on transfer paper. I always thought it looked really bad and anything with the words ‘iron on’ always seemed like a cop out, but crafters like Rossie are rapidly changing my mind. I can see myself making a batch of onesies and bibs this way. I love embroidery, but it just takes so LONG!

Follow the link and you’ll also find a “World of Warcraft – level one human” onesie and “I may be a noob but I just pwned my nappy” onesie

Just so cute.

What do you think, inkjet transfer paper, yay or nay?

Pipe cleaner Thrall

Wow, did I ever stumble upon a gem. The WoW Insider blog has a feature called World of WarCrafts that features, in their words, “art and creativity by WoW players, including fan art, cooking, comics, cosplay, music and fan fiction”. It is an absolute treasure trove of geek crafts!!

Chris Schultz, b/k/a Toepher, creates a variety of geeky figures out of nothing but pipe cleaner. They’re all amazing, but my eye was capured most intensely by his sculpture of Thrall.

When his work was featured on World of Warcrafts, Toepher talked about the process of building such intircate art: “The process is simple — well, simple to me, but to someone watching me make pipe cleaner characters, it can be kind of dumbfounding…I guess you can say I just have at it.”

If you’re any kind of WoW gamer/crafter at all, you MUST check out his stuff!
