Christmas Ornament

Rhombicosidodecahedron

I helped my boyfriend's brother make an origami rhombicosidodecohedron for his geometry class. It has 30 squares, 20 triangles, 12 pentagons and many many joining tabs.

I might make an instructable if I have time before Christmas.

Tiny Witch Hat

I made myself a tiny witch hat... and then I made an even smaller one for my dog. She will never wear it willingly though.

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

Mizzdstock

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!

Bad Luck

So I bought a cheap mirror yesterday and proceeded to break it immediately with a staple gun. I wanted to staple a ribbon to the back so I could hang it on the wall.  I thought I was far enough over on the frame.. perhaps the force of the gun created the cracks.  Either way... $5 mirror = broken.  So, I took some plain 8.5 x 11 paper and traced the cracks onto it then designed something to cover it up.  I transferred that to poster board, cut it out and taped it down to the mirror.  Poof!  Looks better than a plain mirror now anyway.

Android USA Theme FREE for the Fourth!

Usatheme

I made a free theme to celebrate Independence Day!  You can use the QR code or search the market for "quality USA Theme independence " to narrow it down to just this theme.

You do need a Home Replacement App for it to work. I use 91PandaHome2 because it's free too!
