Shake off the dust

Purple Heart by Creative Critters

This little guy by Creative Critter is laughing it up. The Geekry Guild is back in business and we're having a Valentine's Day challenge on our facebook page- we're going to mix it up a little.

Artfire is fixing up the guilds but no matter what we'll keep this going. This blog will showcase our members and selling tips and anything geeky. So laugh it up Fuzzball and have a good time.

Oddments and Tweaks - Featured Artist of the Week

 

Generic Poison Bottle Pendant

 

Recycled SD Pendant Necklace

 

 Cave Fairy Dust

This week's,  or month's  considering how well I've been keeping up with posting, is Heather. Her FireShop - Oddments and Tweaks- http://oddmentsandtweaks.artfire.com is filled with all sorts of little odds and ends of the geeky and magical sort. she has recycled SD card necklaces, not just fairy dust, water fairy dust, cave fairy dust, even some fairy snot. All those little things you didn't even know existed but now you need. And if you don't like the fairies you can always poison them! she has that too.

When I asked her what she like's to work with best, she answered : I'm the type of person who tends to dabble in a little bit of everything. From paper crafts, scrap booking, to sewing, to wire wrapping and jewelry; you'll find that I do a little of all of these things. Lately, I'm most known for the little bottle pendants that I make. Why that? Because it's fun! I love working with all the different mediums--crafting never gets boring! And it's awfully fun to learn something new. I\'m ALL about learning just about anything

Of everything you have created which is your favorite? Ooo... this is a hard one. I would have to say that one of my favorite things was a faux mosaic I made for a school project one time. I made it around the theme of Versailles and the French Revolution, by gluing pieces of paint samplers to a board with rubber cement.

And since this is the Geekery Guild, I had to ask

What makes you a geek?

 What doesn't make me a geek? I've always been eager to learn--anything and everything--so school was actually an enjoyable experience for me, except dealing with the other kids. I was always called "the smart girl" in school and got all of the affects of such a thing--I rarely had friends.

I'm also a major Fantasy geek. I started reading hardcore fantasy (the DragonLance series) when I was in the 5th grade. Since then, it's been a downhill slide into the fantasy world and my book shelves are completely full. So, obviously, reading is also a habit of mine. My husband and I are also gamers--we have all kinds of working systems ranging from the original NES to a Sega Dreamcast to an XBox 360. We're currently working on trying to get a PS3  (Donations anyone??)

Or maybe not, but you can visit her shop and buy some cool stuff so she can buy that PS3. Her stuff just tickles my fancy, I'm a fantasy geek too.

If you're looking for Heather online, you can find her of course at her artfire shop, http://oddmentsandtweaks.artfire.com but also on twitter -http://twitter.com/oddmentsntweaks , her blog,http://oddmentsandtweaks.blogspot.com and also her husband's website -http://www.talesfromplanetz.com , altogether some pretty cool stuff.

Blue Monday

A geeky blue Monday

Featured Artist- CustomCosplay

Brain Slug by CustomCosplay

Our first featured artisan is Deanna of CustomCosplay.Artfire.com .  I love all the bright cute items in her store. The brain slug really peaked my interest, reminded my of Futurama. Deanna says she loves to make all sorts of cute things! She started out doing custom made costuming, then moved on to doing more ready to wear items like fleece hats, jewelry and dresses. make She have more hobbies than time to do them in becasue she just love learning new techniques, but always returns to sewing cute things and sculpting jewelry.

 

Panda Hat by CustomCosplay

This panda hat is one of her favorites but the blue bunnies run a close second. She has so many cute and fun stuff, I don't know how she can choose!

When asked what makes her a geek, Deanna says she is addicted to anything cute, mostly Japanese import stuff...plus she thinks the fact that I ran the "Knitting club" in college and was a member of the "LARP" club (live action role-play) that means she has an instant geek card for life!

I would encourage people to check out Deanna's DeviantArt, since it shows some of her  older work, as well as stuff that is out of stock. She also take custom orders, so if you have a hat, plushie, outfit (or pretty much anything sewn or crafted) send her  a note!If she can make it, she can put you in touch with an artist who can- now that's someone who's connected!

You can find Deanna online at:
