World of Geekcraft by Susan Beal
I am so excited that Easy Crafts is a part of the World of Geekcraft blog tour. I have a lot of books on my desk here at Wikia. This is the norm for me as I used to work at a book publisher and was pretty much surrounded by piles and piles of books. My stacks of books at Wikia draw a lot of attention from co-workers, maybe they think I’m a hoarder, or maybe they’re just curious about what I’m reading. The one book that has gotten more attention than any other has definitely been World of Geekcraft which gets picked up, commented on, and flipped through daily. I love that the majority of people doing the commenting and threatening to steal my copy are guys. Not only did author Susan Beal pull together an awesome collection of geeky crafts, she did something we used to talk about a lot at my old job-- she got the guys excited about crafting too. And she proved that ladies can get down with the geek crafts and nerd out just as much as the dudes. In honor of this awesome book that’s been drawing a whole lot of attention from everyone here at Wikia I put together a little gallery of images of my co-workers posing with their favorite project from World of Geekcraft. Maybe we’ll have a craft night here and see if we can’t whip up some of these sweet projects.
