If there is one thing we nerds love to do, it’s obsess. Sometimes, these obsessions can take us in strange directions. Take Etsy, for example. It’s a virtual craft fair, where creative, crafty people from around the world can showcase their handmade wares. A lot of those crafters are nerds, and a lot of the things they come up with are incredibly awesome. But there are areas of Etsy that get a little… weird.
Please note: There is a line where weird starts to turn cool again. Which side of the line these items fall on is entirely subjective.
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the fan favorite Firefly. Alas, she died too soon. To commemorate, we’ve returned to the bowels of Etsy to find 10 of the strange, weird, and wonderful things crafty fans have made. Click to see larger images, as well as where to purchase them!
