Okay, I’m finally all caught up with posting about my already completed Daleks. That took way longer than expected (I’ve once again discovered I am not a photographer).

In the upcoming weeks, I’d like to give these guys their own project page, which will include a tutorial on how they’re made…

A family portrait:

After I’d finishing the first two Daleks, I thought it only right that they have their own Kaled-mutant friends…

After Doomsday my fiance requested his own Dalek Sec so it could sit on his desk.

After years of being a crocheter, I had recently learned how to knit (unrelated hand injuries had made crocheting painful, so I was forced to seek out alternative methods). I didn’t think knitted fabric would be as suited for my purposes, but I gave it a shot:

After watching “The Lone Dalek”, I so very much wanted a plush version of a Dalek. I was really surprised to find out that no one was making them… Like a craftier version of Davros, I realized I’d have to create my own…

Allow me to introduce you to “Bling”, the very first member of my Dalek Empire:

I remember my initial thoughts were “he shouldn’t be that hard to make”… hehe… Between the 11 panels, 56 balls, and all the other little intricacies that make Daleks unique, this guy took a month to finish. Considering I was working soley off of production photos, he came out pretty good (though a bit anerexic looking, and his plunger droops a bit)…

Some of the details: he was mostly constructed made with Glitterspun, a disproportionately small hook (I actually broke one in half), and polyfil. The panels were crocheted seperately and then stitched together. Also, each of the 56 balls were individually crocheted and attached after the skirt was assembled.

Rose By Any Other Name is a kitschy (and slightly risque) Doctor Who parody that pokes fun at well known characters (both in and out of the Whoniverse).

Short synopsis: The 10th doc and Rose encounter a Dalek in present-day England…

Okay, so obviously, with a Dalek, this book gains instant likability points and old-school fans will definitely appreciate some of the references to the classic Whoniverse. Unfortunately, as a “Quick Read” book, anyone over twelve might feel a bit silly reading this in public.
