Came across this over at <a href="http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/6/24/steampunk-rocketeer-by-daniel-lim.html">GeekTyrant</a>. I've always loved the Rocketeer costume, especially it's many incarnations made by independant artists around the world.<br />
This is one that I'd liek to try and have ago at to make it real.Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17200822451698809989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578941990158837882.post-21967110851426938122012-06-28T15:26:00.001-03:002012-06-28T15:26:49.414-03:00Medieval Avengers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://thedurrrrian.deviantart.com/gallery/">theDURRRRIAN's </a>deviantart gallery has some great images, but what caught my attention was his Medieval Avenger works. I'm really drawn to the Hawkeye version.<br />

Love this simple idea for a <a href="http://www.infarrantlycreative.net/2012/06/home-terrarium.html">solar powered terrarium</a>. We found this exact lantern at Winner's on Saturday this past week. Nearly bought it.<br />

After working at Disney World myself for over a year, I can really appreciate the flip of the beloved characters.<br />

I've been meaning to try out <a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/salad-in-a-jar-make-a-week-of-lunches-173014?utm_campaign=topblock&utm_medium=web&utm_source=thekitchn-entry">salad in a jar</a> for my lunches at work. The most appealing aspect of it was the fact that by layering the ingredients, you can keep it from getting soggy or losing it's individual component flavours over time. With the timing of my lunch (if any, most days), I wanted to be able to at least have a healthy option instead of turning to the A&W next to my workplace so often. Additionally, they can keep for up to a week, so you can save a few bucks when buying your vegetables.<br />
thekitchn.com has a great link to some ideas on how to do these most effectively.<br />

I've seen something like this before and it's a great execution of the idea, however I think there might be a less dangerous way to accomplish this (the jagged edge of the jar looks to be a bit unsafe to me, but if you're wearing gloves, the danger is limited).<br />

Found this great Frankenstein style dress make over at <a href="http://www.shadowmanor.com/blog/?page_id=15040">Shadow Manor</a>. Just a few runs through with a sewing machine and a bit of fabric paint and you're ready to go.<br />
I'd like to try adapting this technique to an apron made of skin or something along those lines.<br />

It's such a great little toy (though it does take a bit away from hand craftsmanship, which I generally hate) that carves out 3D designs from wood using milling techniques and it totally automatic.</div>

I first saw this on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/StiltbeastStudios?feature=watch">StilitBeasts Studio's</a> today where he deomnstrated it's functions and basic operation. He intends on making vampire hunter boxes/kits (which strangely enough when I first saw the finished product was my first inclination to use it for).</div>

The area I have to work in is kinda "L" shaped, so the area under the stairs is where all the bulky items end up living (foam core, cotton batting, etc). Red containers hold most of the spray paints I have.<br />

Rough panoramic of the space I work in (no colour correction). Yes, it's a freaking mess right now, but any clean and organized space generally scares me.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy my little space for my creations. They don't mind it so much.<br />

Love its simplicity to view everything you have in your arsenal and keep it up and off the table at any given time.<br />
I think if I were to modify this, I'd not use a patterned paper like that, but rather a 50% grey colour/simple patter to REALLY see the colour for what it is. Another option would be to use a colour close to flesh tone to see how the colours should look when applied.<br />
Another option would be to double the frames, hinge them on a mirror so it can close and add a light to the top (most likely a more intricate and involved lighting system than a top light......overhead lighting *shudder*).<br />

I don't have very much experience with the Japanese language, let alone design, so this was a new exposure for me.<br />
I really like the simplicity of colours used for these, and the further you read into them, they suddenly become incredibly complex.<br />
Admit it, you started thinking about how to do your hometown, didn't you?

Nostalgia reigned supreme for 2 days, but special mention was made for one particular envelope.<br />
As she was sorting through it all, an envelope fell out. Her first instinct was to toss it, but it's weight was substantial enough for Mum to question what it contained. After she opened it, she remembered it and was thankful for her hesitant sorting.<br />
A letter from one from my favorite teachers I've ever had, dated the day I graduated from elementary school, with advice for me for my entrance into Junior High. I remember the day and the letter like it was yesterday.<br />
It's appearance happened during a time of perfect coincidences all in a row. During Grade 3, I began reading "The Chronicles of Narnia" series. At the time I was an avid dancer with my local clogging group and as I learned and mastered each new song and routine, my mother would reward me with a new book from the Chronicles of Narnia series.<br />
After a week of consistent trials on my patience and endurance from work, someone from my office building offered me the complete set, as they were throwing them out. All the while, I was playing with working on a way to create an animatronic Reepicheap, a character from the novels. Naturally I took them home and delved again into the world of Narnia.<br />
I've scanned it so I could share it with any of you who view this space online.<br />

It may seem like a silly thing to do, carrying a letter that is meant to prepare you for a time in your life that was 22 years ago, but the fact it is an artifact of my life and a big part of who I am today gives it something so much more than the paper it is written on.<br />
It came at a time when I needed it most, though I didn't realize it.<br />
<br />
Mum:"Do you remember when Miss Mahoney wrote you a letter the day you left Dr. W. A. Macleod---"<br />
Lee"It was 3 pages about getting ready for the new school and she gave me 5 $1 bills 'cause they were done making them....I still have "Mr Wolf and me"...there are octopus stickers in it."<br />
Life is funny when it throws you these neat little curve balls.<br />
Thanks Miss Mahoney...for everything.Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17200822451698809989noreply@blogger.com0
