Lollipop Holders

Yes, a world dilemma solved. Still working on a few others...

(yes, for pre or mid suck)

Trusty Pasta Assistant

Yes.





NO!



Cutting it very close.

Very easy pasta recipe: 1 cup flour, 1 egg, 1/2 eggshell measure of milk. Mix well.  Let rest for 10 minutes (or dance in your princess costume).  Roll thin. Cut.  You can enlist a trusty pasta assitant, or you can do it solo in less time, but....



Power Player

Fashioned from wool felt, this component "doll" allows one to play Mr. Potato Head like, by "sticking on" various felt "entities" that give a certain "power."  Good listening skills = ears.  Good talking = mouth. Ecetera. The last shot (on wood background) shows what is inside at all times -- brain and heart -- even when the other powers are just hanging around.

Early bird specials..day after Thanksgiving

This morning...the ones that got away. First spotting them in the front tree, then eight of them walking on the roof of the house...perfect for the morning after Thanksgiving.

Stop Go Man Signal

Metal, with plexi inserts. Took the outer part of my plasma cut man and saw a lighted sign...internally and externally. One could think of this as Mankind -- kind of like what the debt counter in NY does....if we keep pushing environmental or political issues beyond human inhabitation light moves to red -- STOP.  If we move to more peaceful solutions for the earth and us light moves to green -- GO.   Of course, one could use it for decision making too....should one proceed or not?! One switches the light to illuminate themselves or others. Or perhaps a  campaign should be mounted to replace all currently in place lighted signals to human ones to prioritize/replace walkers over drivers? That would help with some exhaust issues, but perhaps  create another exhaust situation ...long walk fatigue.

My lightening situation here needs to  be pefected (as do my photog skills for dark things with light), but my impatience has me putting it here prior to full completion. I got to use the hand grider to make the metal all shiney and remove the burrs...sparks flying, cool new tool to me.

View from the window.  Stitched from photograph...thread on paper.

Reindeer

Felt like it. Needle felting. With metal needles, not pine.
