I know we have some crafty peeps in this group - so what have you made that is Who-related?

Relative to my specific interests, have any of you ever made your own Pandorica? I bought a fun little plant today, and I am thinking it shall be named Rory and it needs a Pandorica nearby.

    I'm not crafty, but I'm currently planning this project:

    Doing lots of research on foam sculpting and construction. Then I have to clean my basement before I start buying the supplies, but I do have the blue print all laid out

    That is seriously badass, and I personally consider that very crafty. Or perhaps skilled is a better word. I don't have the skills for that, and I admire people who build thier own cosplay weapons like this, it's just amazing!

    This is my second cosplay prop attempt, although I hope this will end better than my last one lol. I attempted the harpoon from bloody sherlock but didn't have the proper tools to put the two parts together, so I spent the whole convention trying desperately to hold it together.

    This time I'm doing a lot more research, networking with friends who have theater backgrounds and have allowed myself 4 months to build and rebuild, figuring I'll screw it up a few times before I succeed.

    I just spent all afternoon researching how to seal it after the foam carving is done and I'm no where closer to knowing what I should use than I was this morning. Argh!

    I crochet, knit, and quilt. I really want to make the Van Gogh TARDIS in a quilt, but haven't started yet. Now that you mention the Pandorica, that would be a cool one too.

    I bet you could design a pandorica cross stitch pattern. If we found a clear enough picture of the side, there are cross stitch programs that will convert a picture into a pattern. I haven't ever done 3d cross stitching before, so not quite sure how it all goes together, but I'm probably going to get a pattern (or 2 or 3) and will figure it all out as I go along :)

    Maybe convert this into a 3d cross stitch pattern?

    I am in the planning process of building a Tardis chicken coop. I have got to have a Tardis in my back yard!

    I'm paying a friend to knit a 4th Doctor/Osgood scarf for me. Does that count?

    Actually, I did build a prop of River's gun from The Big Bang. It is pretty accurate! (I made the belt from that episode as well.)

    I'm trying to find the right pattern for a proper TARDIS blanket & i'm about to crochet a TARDIS scarf, gloves & hat set as well. As soon as I get the materials i'm also going to sew TARDIS aprons for me & my best friend. I've already found patterns for several different DW themed baby outfits but those will wait until i'm actually pregnant lol

    I've knitted a 4th scarf. The season 16 because I obviously enjoy torturing myself. I'll be gender-bending 4 for Archon in October. I have a pattern for a skirt and a coat, I just need to decide: Since it's a bend, and under all his foofarah, Four was dressed as a Victorian gentleman, do I go vest or bodice?

    Only a shirt I wore to the 50th in theaters. It's cute though, it looks like the TARDIS except the windows are two hearts :)
