BATMAN and ROBIN PLUSH ART DOLLS By Elizabeth Garvey


The other day a friend turned me on to a website of an artist who makes some really great artwork. Her name is Elizabeth Garvey & she has a lot of style! Shown here are 2 very primitive-looking handmade dolls of Batman & Robin that are extremely cool. I love the homemade quality of them & the fact that they are not perfect. They look almost like a small child crafted them & that's a part of their special charm. Here's a link down below if you're interesting in seeing more of her work. We would like to invite all Bat-Blog readers, who like to get creative, to send us some examples of your Batman-related art. Thanks.

This Sherlock 221B Knit Beanie Is Subtly Awesome


sherlock beanie




Fan fashion always earns extra points in my book when it's subtle and still recognizable. For example, I really like this 221B Knit Beanie by knitter Sami Brooker.



To the regular eye, it's a cool knit pattern with a happy face, but to the Sherlock fan it's so much more.



Check out an additional pic after the break.








Want to make one for yourself or friends? You can find the pattern on Knitty.

Keep Warm With Superheroic Fleece Scarves


captain marvel scarf




It's fun to dress like superheroes, but spandex isn't comfortable and isn't made to be worn every day. Nerdy t-shirts are another fun way to show your love for a character to the world, but they won't keep you warm in the winter. What's a geek to do? Add flair with an accessory like a scarf! Etsy seller OOAKrafts has a variety of fleece scarves featuring superhero logos; they look awesome and they'll keep you cozy.



Each scarf is around 72 and made to order. The insignias on the scarves are sewn on, and it's hard to choose! I love the Captain Marvel scarf featured above but also the Captain America design and the Black Widow one and the Batman one and I'd just like to buy the whole shop.



Check out more designs after the break.

The Harry Potter Hoodie That Should Always Be Part of Your Wardrobe


harry potter hoodie




Harry Potter is one of those franchises with staying power. It's evidenced on different scales from the construction of Wizarding World to the fact that new handmade merchandise keeps popping up -from macro to micro. Etsy seller parenholly has this hoodie available, and I'm in love. The design is clever and though I see the "Always" frequently, I haven't seen it paired with the book titles like this. Yay for typography designs!

Darling Customizable Cutie Mark Shoes

Which pony is your favorite? You can show your love for Rainbow Dash or Pinkie Pie or anypony with these customizable cutie mark shoes by Etsy seller Seriously Savage. She paints them onto Converse and all you have to do is specify your size and the cutie mark you desire! I like how besides the cutie marks on the side that she also paints the toes to match the characters.



Turnaround time is 2-3 weeks.



Check out more examples after the break.

Calgary Cosplay seems to have dedicated themselves to bring the words cute & cosplay together in the form of hoodies, hats and other accessories.



In this case, we came across these Cute Dragon Hoodies that let you suit up as a Toothless-style dragon with an oversized hood, articulated claw-like gloves (with an escape hatch for your hands), a detachable tail, and wings.



See a colorful version after the break...

I'm partial to the black, but I'm gothy like that

The Dangling David Tennant Necklace Everyone Needs


David Tennant Neckacle




Take David Tennant, add the power of Shrinky Dinks, and this is what happens: Tennant ends up dangling over your boobs. It's a fantastic place for him to be. Just think of all the places you could take him when he's pocket-sized! Yeah, we all need to go buy some Shrinky Dinks and report back.

Chart The Stars On Your Scarf [DIY]















One of my goals for this year is to learn the names and locations of more constellations. I think I’ll help myself remember them by putting them on a scarf. You read that right.





The craft from Katie of A Beautiful Mess is creative and cool. It looks simple too – you just need a scarf, some craft foam, fabric paint, embroidery floss, and a few other basics. I recommend getting a large scarf so you can plot all of your favorites.

Handmade Legend Of Zelda Majora’s Mask Wallet







This beautiful handmade Majora’s Mask wallet was designed by Etsy seller Jacob Vadnais. It’s so cool, that it sold out the minute he put it up in his store. But, since he’s hard at work designing more great wallets, you can likely send him an email and see about having one custom made to hold all your riches.
