Pacman Earrings

Pacman Earrings

Love these pacman and ghost earrings, which are hand-made out of polymer clay by artist, Lauren Swingle. They must have been so tiny and fiddly to create.  I have a bit of a ‘thing’ for Pacman lately, after making the Atari Ms Pacman clock.

New! Grand Theft Auto Clock

October 22nd, 2008 Nicola Posted in Clocks, Gaming, Geekware 3 Comments »

I found these old gaming boxes that Mr Geekware had been holding onto for years.  It took me a while to think of a way to recycle them and showcase the cool artwork at the same time, and eventually I came up with the idea of gamer clocks!  I’m not sure if I had more fun making them or coming up with a witty description for the site…..

“Does your boyfriend spend more time playing Grand Theft Auto than he does with you?

Show him how much you care about his ‘hobby’ with this one of a kind clock handmade from an original Grand Theft Auto Vice City Game box!

Now he’ll have no excuse for being late… tell him the computer will understand ;)

Features a metal chain for hanging on the wall, a precision quartz movement, and takes one AA battery (included).”
