A Saturday well spent.

This is a Piranha Plant (the little guy that pops out of pipes and tries to eat Mario) I made yesterday. All made of felt, with some floral wire inside to make a little bendy.

I love you, Gumballhead.

I want to make a new drawing to send to my nephew every week. He'll probably critique them and say they're not very good, but it's the thought that counts, right?

Programmer Puppet (Puppet #3)

My love for googly eyes knows no bounds.

Puppet #3...tiny hoodie!

Finally Finished! Puppet #2

Milwaukee Public Museum 2/5/11

There are creepy "historical" mannequins everywhere, including these terrifying children. The Mummies of the World exhibit was really cool though-the first time I've seen mummies from anywhere but Egypt or the Roman Empire. They had South American mummies that were so well preserved their skin still had color and their hair looked like a live person's.

Also check out the butterfly room:
Butterflies are everywhere, and sometimes they'll try to escape on people's clothing so there's a mirror to check yourself before you leave!

I will never love you more!

I just saw this little video on Racked. I love the song, the clothes, the guy...and especially the little story he types out during the video:

this is the story of a charming girl
she laughs out loud, sings off key and believes in taking chances
she is quick and curious and playful and strong
she lets her imagination run away with her
she has never been one to stick to convention
she is fond of daydreams that take her places
she can order a cocktail in six different languages
she feels that understated is overrated
