Ben's Birthday Cake

He didn't actually throw it on the ground, but it would have been fitting.

Upcycled Lamp

Someone had placed this lamp by the curb near the dumpster at our apartment complex.  The yellow and reddish covers were pretty faded (and not my style), but I thought I'd at least see if the connections all worked.  I was disappointed to see it had little size B light bulbs.  I didn't really care until I shut it off and tried pulling one out.  They were EXTREMELY hot after less than a minute.  So I went out into the world and found some LED light bulbs.  They run completely cold and only cost 11 cents PER YEAR to operate!  AMAZING!

So...  8 balloons, some tissue paper and watered down glue later and I have a new lamp! :D

Lazy Painting

I wanted to do something with this stock image from mizzd-stock on deviant art.  Tablets and computers have spoiled me.. so this is basically a paint over and I modified the face/colors/etc.  Not really too artistic but fun and not too time consuming.

Thanks for looking!
