With all the interesting characters on Doctor Who and its spinoffs, it’s not too surprising that many crafty fans have made their own dolls and plushes based on them. Here are thirteen (one for each of the Doctor’s regenerations) such creations, in honor of Fandomania’s Doctor Who Month.
Every self-respecting geek has a few fandom-related items of clothing in his or her wardrobe. But some aren’t satisfied with store-bought clothing until they rip it up and piece it back together to create something unique, like these ten reconstructed Batman items. Most of the designers featured here sell their creations online, so be sure to check out their wares!
Halloween is just one day away, so it’s only natural that this week I’m highlighting some of the best fandom-related Jack-O-Lanterns around. Did you carve a fandom-related pumpkin this year? Feel free to share in the comments!
It’s getting colder (at least in some parts), and there’s no better way to warm up than with a toasty knit hat. The best kind? Fandom-inspired hats like these ten influenced by Star Wars.
I know I just did a post about cakes, but this was too incredible not to feature. Elisa Strauss of Confetti Cakes created this recreation of Gotham City for the launch party of the LEGO Batman video game. That’s right, people, this is a CAKE.
When you think about it, it’s pretty amazing that the video game designers of the 80s were able to create such iconic and recognizable characters, given that they were all made of large square pixels rendered with an 8-bit processor. But they did, and those crude designs are still loved the world over today.
Since pixels and quilt squares are so similar, it’s not surprising that geeky crafters would be drawn to 8-bit characters for quilting inspiration. Here are five quilts featuring the most classic Nintendo game, Super Mario Bros.
Ever see a piece of furniture on the side of the road and think, “Man, I bet I could do something awesome with that”? Zaqurus at Craftster did, when she found a junky old card table by her dumpster and combined it with some X-Men comics she’d bought on Amazon.
Fandomestic is a new feature Celeste will be writing that looks at how people integrate their fandoms into their everyday lives. Here’s the first installment, and you can check back every Thursday for a new article.
Making cakes based on Doctor Who has been popular ever since the UK children’s show Blue Peter featured a how-to back in the ’60s for making chocolate Dalek cakes (they did an updated tutorial prior to the start of Series 3). But Daleks aren’t the only subject of cakes themed after the show. Here are ten cakes to cross time and space for (in no particular order).
