Does anyone recognize that movie line? It's from one of our favorite movies, Stranger Than Fiction. I have no idea why we are one of only 17 people that liked this movie
[1]; I think it's one of Will Ferrell's best. So I got it in my head to make a space shuttle for DH, with The Greeting Farm's Space Ian as the star. This would have been about 4 bajillion times easier if I'd had any sort of skinny canister around the house, but as it was, I ended up making my own cylinder with an inside layer of black and outside layer of white. I also made the cone by hand, and the wings, tail (with moving rudder), and engines. The easy part was coloring Space Ian with copics, adding some metal nailheads to his suit and glossy accents on his helmet. I stamped another image, cut it out, and poked the wire through the back. Then I adhered the two images together with scor-tape, sandwiching the wire between. I also put a paperclip between the two at the bottom, in order to offset the weight of the glossy accents so he'd
stand up float in space straight.
I would have loved to fill it with Milky Ways, but that would involved buying some and that would lead to eating them. I went with a Cookies and Cream bar, which DH likes and I don't.
Close up on Space Ian adorableness:
I made another card yesterday before my engineering project, playing with some new paper, tools, and stamps.
This is mostly Stamping Up! except for the button, thread, large polka dot paper (October Afternoon) and ribbon (PTI Scarlet Jewel). I stamped and embossed the flower from Growing Green twice, cut out, and layered. I ran some Cherry Cobbler through the Square Lattice embossing folder and distressed, added the Love Letters patterned paper, ribbon, and twine. The sentiment is from Tiny Tags, punched with the jewelry tag punch.
Now off to get started on today's challenges!! Wheeeeee!!!!
[1]Shout out to Angela for being one of 23 people who liked Away We Go--I loved that movie!
