Similar to my Indie Craft reaction, World of Geekcraft sold me on every page! Susan Beal has brought together, with some of her own work, several stellar examples of quirky crafting. Just can’t find the right spot for your Wii-mote? How about a handy belt and holster to help you out? Books on the shelf looking a little bare? Wrap them up in a robot themed book jacket!
I was very intrigued by Diane Gilleland’s idea giving new life to old watch parts. Her “Marvelous Machine Steam Punk” pendant shows off these now nonfunctioning parts from a fresh perspective. This makes me want to go get some wire clippers and start this week! This design reminds me of Hermione Granger’s Time Turner necklace that she uses in the third Harry Potter book to use time travel to her advantage. This recycled piece of jewelry is like a miniature art installation around your neck.
There’s really too many favorites in this book to 
mention: felted solar system mobile, periodic table iPod cozies. And I can think of several people who would love a Star Wars Terrarium! All it takes is a mason jar, your favorite action figure, some sand, or more appropriate landscaping materials, and you’re ready to start Lucas‘ing. Another favorite, bringing back warm childhood memories, is the Oregon Trail cross-stitch. Check out all these great ideas!
