Show N’ Tell: Darth Vader Helmet

written by threadslinger

New and improved Vader Helmet

Marie and I are trying to make a quilt out of threadless shirts like this rocking’ one. As result, this requires a lot of shirts donated to us from fellow threadless folks. As an incentive to get people to donate I agreed to make them a thank you gift, noting my particular skills/patience with crocheting just about anything in the world. See also here and here.

So, one guy took me up on my skills and requested a Darth Vader Helmet. This is what I ended up with:

Side Vader

I wasn’t very happy with the way that it turned out because it didn’t look like a Vader Helmet that much. So I turned to Craftster a website that is amazingly helpful and addicting and asked for some help. From the helpful insight of one other girl I was able to add to it and come up with a much better helmet. Hooray for the internets!
