One of a Kind

A few weeks ago I was walking to work and happened past Area 51 where I saw this in the window



With a "One of a Kind" tag on it - complete with a price tag of $295.

This looks suspiciously like a TV I have at home



So - just saying - that one in the window isn't One of a Kind.

While I'm on the subject of One of a Kind items check out what I did over the Memorial Day Weekend


I actually made a whole bunch of paper flowers



These turned out much better than the paper lei's I was trying to make last weekend. I may give that another shot but for now my focus will be on more paper flowers (so much cheaper than real flowers - though I'm not sure how well these will travel.)

I'll update as the pile grows.

Papercraft

This morning I was bored and stumbling around the internets when I came across this funny YouTube video from fortaxreasons.



I've looked at papercraft stuff before but that video inspired me to make some armor of my own. I perused some examples of some of the finest on papercraft world and while very impressed - decided that I should start small, with something a little more inside my skill set. I finally settled on the uber-cute bulldozer available at paperboxworld.

After a brief foray into the land of unsuccessful printer networking, my housemate went ahead and printed from his machine and I got to work. 30 or so minutes later I am the proud owner of a paper bulldozer d00d.


He's not perfect, and I had to use tape in the place of the recommended glue but mission accomplished anyway.

I'm not sure if I'm ready to tangle with a more complex pattern but I'll check out the glue selection next time I'm at the store just in case.
