World of GeekCraft, Show & Tell!

It's been a while since I've showed off some of the stuff YOU guys are making, so let's take a looksie, shall we?

First up, Meagan R. made the coolest Harry Potter display this week. Check it out: it's her own personal Sorcerer's Stone!

 

The stone itself was a Christmas ornament for Target, so if you have that and a shadowbox, this is a super simple project. Head over to her blog Sleeping With Skeletons for the full break-down.


Amelia T. crocheted Portal's Atlas and P-body for her boyfriend's birthday:

She didn't have a pattern, so she just made these up as she went along! (I love their little guns!)


I'm a huge papercraft fan, so Mathew G.'s creation has BLOWN ME AWAY:

THAT is a life-sized Samus from Metroid, and it's made entirely of paper. Matthew tells me it took him seven months to build, so that's, what? About a month per foot? WHOAH. Head over to Matthew's Flickr for more pics. 

Kate B. makes custom dolls, and when a co-worker challenged her to make Treebeard from Lord of the Rings, she came up with something so epic she decided she HAD to share:

And I'm glad she did! Check out that lace "moss." Brilliant! 

And here's Bilbo:

You can see more (or even commission your own!) at Kate's Etsy store.

And speaking of dolls, check out this River Tam made by Silvana M.:

To really appreciate her, though, you have to see what Silvana started with. Here's a before-and-after comparison of River's face:

!!!!

Head over to Silvana's blog to see more finished and process pics. (And can you believe she gave this away in a craft-swap?!)


Proud mom Shelly S. sent me this pic of her sons after they won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in their troupe's pine wood derby:

Now, check out the cars they made (with their dad's help) that won!

LOVE.

Monica M. made this stellar Star Trek quilt:

 And you have to see a close-up of that trim fabric, guys:

Look at those adorable little figures! Monica, I think you're going to have to tell us where you found that fabric! 

[Update: The consensus seems to be it's from Spoonflower. Thanks, guys!]

And finally, I hope you guys aren't too sick of looking at Epbot fan art, because this drawing by Paula H. made John and I laugh out loud in sheer delight for, like two entire minutes:

It's the Epbot 'bot as Lady Vadore.

BWAHAHAHAA!!

LOOKIT THE DEATH STAR ANTENNA! LOOK AT IT!! Hee!

Thanks for always knowing just how to make me grin, everyone, and please, keep those e-mails coming! Or you can also share your creations here in the comments, or over on the Epbot Facebook page!
