Update: for those looking to buy the Yellow Damask Paper Below please visit the new shop here: Yellow Damask Shop Page

This wonderful download is one of my newest and personal favorites.  Admittedly, I do have some favoritism going on here anyway as this was created by me.

Just in time for those nicer months ahead comes this fabulous yellow and white damask printable craft paper.

• $1.99 for unlimited use!
• Printable .pdf format
• Prints out to 8 x 10 inches

From the shop page.

There are so many different uses for the printable goodies, and especially the fabulous Yellow Damask Paper above.  From general artistic endeavors to crafting projects (and of course, a ton other than that).  I hope you enjoy it!

The printable below comes in an easy to use .pdf file (same as all my other items) and can be edited in Photoshop as well as printed as-is.  It can be bought through this page, or the shop itself.  Either way, be sure to use code NewShop001 for 15% off until May 31, 2010

Okay, honestly it’s a crummy title but a really awesome widget.  The Paradox9.com Two-Line T Shirt Maker (look at the sidebar, or even grab it from here: Two Line T Shirt Widget)is the easiest way known* by me to make your very own custom t shirt (there may be more coming up, aside from t shirts, at least).  So, how exactly can one use this marvelous little widget?  Follow the steps below to make your very own custom t shirt.

1: Upload your image somewhere.

2: Copy the URL to the image, and paste it into the URL box.

3: Enter your text.

4:Click Grab it!

5: View/ Edit/Buy

Obviously, the image is crappy for the example.  It’s one of the article images from this very website.

Misc Information: Enter your Zazzle associate ID to earn a commission (15% I believe) of each sale you make through the widget.  If you don’t have one, get one for free by just signing up at zazzle.com.  If you don’t want one, leave the option blank.

Don’t find random images that you don’t have the right to use.  That is just crummy, and they won’t print it anyway.

*Is it the easiest?  I have no clue.

Not to long ago on this website there was a post about awesome geeky items, and really there is definitely no end for the sweet geekery that you can find online.  In that vein, here is more handmade geeky awesomeness.

While looking for some goodies for another article altogether I found a few things that inspired this article (because this blogger gets distracted like that).  So, while many may not be standard geek – they are all awesome.

Badger on a Penny Farthing Bicycle

This is just fantastic.  For so, so many reasons.

Geek Monkey Necklace

Love this, and wish I had seem this when I had a formal occasion to go to (sparkles and periodic tables, really now I’m in love).

Vintage DICTIONARY Art Print

As an aside: I need to admit, it’s killing me not to start writing in caps about the Kraken.

Toaster Pastry Food Gadget Case

This makes me hungry and happy all at once.  The toaster pastries are a geek staple, and really this is a fun way to show the love of the warm gooey deliciousness.

Fight Club Soap Necklace

The first rule about the Fight Club Soap Necklace, is we don’t talk about the Fight Club Soap Necklace (yeah, that really hasn’t been funny for like 5 or 6 years now, I’m sticking with that joke anyway).

robotgeek in love MOUSEPAD

I would have to hang this up.

Yellow Lego Tire Cuff Links

If this doesn’t make you want to break out the Legos, nothing will.

For those who enjoy amazing artwork with the otherworldly feel to it, Steam punk designs are unbeatable. Below is a small collection of simply fantastic Steam Punk inspired designs.

Steampunk Poster

This was one of my favorite projects when I was a kid, it’s also just a really fun thing to do on a snowy day.

Needed:

• Black Paper
• Camera with macro option

Here’s what to do:

• Put the black paper in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes to let it get cold.
• Bring it outside while it’s snowing, and take some photos!

This is a fun project that kids would love as well.

You can really see the geometry in all the little flakes, and the results of the macro photos are pretty amazing as well.

The black paper lets you see more detail, and it’s placed in the freezer so the flakes don’t melt immediately.

While it also takes a bit of luck in capturing the images, taking a bunch of photos can help.

Almost anyone can draw a heart and throw it on a card, and really it’s a cliché (which isn’t bad, necessarily).  However, some artists have a gift for taking some tired theme and turning it into something completely awesome.

These are simply fantastic:

I originally has quite witty captions under these, however I decided to to let the art speak for itself. (‘nother words I accidentally didn’t save it in time…).  Below are some Valentine’s Day Cards from the amazing artists at zazzle:

Really, awesome right*?!  Oh yeah, you know you want this.

*Awesome and so, so shameless.

Pop Art Airplane Postcard

I got myself a bit sidetracked while I was writing an article.  While the image above is from last year, I couldn’t stop myself from creating the Pop- Art/ WWII (esque?) design you see above.  It seriously reminds me of one of those propaganda posters, with a touch of Warhol.

The combination alone makes me happy, admittedly it’s an odd coupling.  It’s also has absolutely nothing to do with said article.  Go figure.
