Retro Styles...

My old headphones have an extremely long cable that tangles with great ease, and I was in need of a simple cable management solution. When I came across an old box of my Super 8 film spools, the solution was at hand.....

Maybe I could roll my AV cables on the 16mm reels, Xmas lights on the 35mm...mmmm...got me thinking....

Time is short....

Been a little on the busy side lately & haven't had time to work on projects... but here are a few sample pieces of comic covered jewelry I have been working on...


more pics of these and other bangels after the break....

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

I love feathers, vintage jewellery and all assortments of things. I love looking at my collections, but I find it really difficult to part with my items. However, my craft stash is getting beyond ridiculous proportions. So, I have started making things with it. Here are some hair pieces I made today.

Marvel At The Cash...2....

I really wasn't going to do another post about comic book wallets, that was until I came across an old ad for the video game, Marvel Nemesis. The panels in this one are supported with board.

I think it is a really nice piece to carry about.

More pics after the break......

The Marvels Of Cash....

So my trusty Poketo wallet finally died. Well not totally, but the only thing holding it together were the contents. Why spend money on something to hold money....

Get ready for the zombpocalypse... Part 1.

So, if you know Alby and I, you'll know that we have a thing for zombies. Don't know why, it is just a thing we have. So, in line with that we have created some zombie themed craft in our time. Here is one project I'm still working on which I like to call "the Disney horde".

Old Friend...

I have seen the old Mac Plus as a fish tank, but I wanted something different......

Wedding Part II....

Not sure if it is finished yet, Hope hasn't seen it.

To be continued.....?

Toys from the OP Shop......

So, after Hope's extended stay out in the country due to her car (don't ask!!!), I was rewarded with a ziplock bag of curious insanity.

I'm not really sure what to think of it, but it was not the"big bag of mini wrestlers" that was described to me. Still, there was gold inside.....

Weddings....

We are really not the people who want to show off all those photos & video from our wedding. So I decided to make a canvas that celebrates it.

Still lots to go...

Hope hasn't seen it yet, she won't get home for about an hour...

To be continued...

PONG!!

While digging through my box of cables to find a VGA adaptor I came across this old TV game. Pong has great memories for everyone, but unfortunately this one has been dead for a long time.

I really don't even know why I have held onto to this for so long, it has probably been out of action since '98.

Time to give it a bit of a life again......

Get him to the Geek....

Don't you hate it when Security at the Casino asks you to check your book....

This happened to me recently while carrying my Android Tablet tucked inside a copy of 'Silence Of The Lambs'......

Bugs under glass....

Thinking of those lovey-dovey papers, made me think of butterflys, which made me think of the shadow boxes Hope also bought home with those papers.

I have always admired peoples butterfly collections, but not sure that Hope likes bugs in the lounge room. Maybe she will like this...

Using photo paper, shadow box, foam core, PVA, white paint and the power of the internet....

These are not the papers you seek...

Hope came home from work at Riot Art & Craft the other day with some new papers. Her excitement was not matched by my dread for all the lovey-dovey ones out there.

That was until I saw this cool robot design that I thought would be a nice door hanger for my nephew.

But this paper cutting gives me an idea, I may be back soon....

title image..

So, with this new blog kicking off I decided that I would like a nice title image for the site which embraced the idea behind it, a mix of craft and geek.

Starting with a canvas I didn't like, I walked around the house for hours until I came across a box of old keyboards...

It really looks very different under the scanner in comparison to real life.

Back in the swing...

Now trying to do some more crafty projects with some new found time. Also back on the web for the first time in ages.

Check out this painting I just finished...
