Retro Styles...

My old headphones have an extremely long cable that tangles with great ease, and I was in need of a simple cable management solution. When I came across an old box of my Super 8 film spools, the solution was at hand.....

Maybe I could roll my AV cables on the 16mm reels, Xmas lights on the 35mm...mmmm...got me thinking....

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

I love feathers, vintage jewellery and all assortments of things. I love looking at my collections, but I find it really difficult to part with my items. However, my craft stash is getting beyond ridiculous proportions. So, I have started making things with it. Here are some hair pieces I made today.

The Marvels Of Cash....

So my trusty Poketo wallet finally died. Well not totally, but the only thing holding it together were the contents. Why spend money on something to hold money....

Get ready for the zombpocalypse... Part 1.

So, if you know Alby and I, you'll know that we have a thing for zombies. Don't know why, it is just a thing we have. So, in line with that we have created some zombie themed craft in our time. Here is one project I'm still working on which I like to call "the Disney horde".

Old Friend...

I have seen the old Mac Plus as a fish tank, but I wanted something different......

Weddings....

We are really not the people who want to show off all those photos & video from our wedding. So I decided to make a canvas that celebrates it.

Still lots to go...

Hope hasn't seen it yet, she won't get home for about an hour...

To be continued...

PONG!!

While digging through my box of cables to find a VGA adaptor I came across this old TV game. Pong has great memories for everyone, but unfortunately this one has been dead for a long time.

I really don't even know why I have held onto to this for so long, it has probably been out of action since '98.

Time to give it a bit of a life again......

Bugs under glass....

Thinking of those lovey-dovey papers, made me think of butterflys, which made me think of the shadow boxes Hope also bought home with those papers.

I have always admired peoples butterfly collections, but not sure that Hope likes bugs in the lounge room. Maybe she will like this...

Using photo paper, shadow box, foam core, PVA, white paint and the power of the internet....

These are not the papers you seek...

Hope came home from work at Riot Art & Craft the other day with some new papers. Her excitement was not matched by my dread for all the lovey-dovey ones out there.

That was until I saw this cool robot design that I thought would be a nice door hanger for my nephew.

But this paper cutting gives me an idea, I may be back soon....

So, with this new blog kicking off I decided that I would like a nice title image for the site which embraced the idea behind it, a mix of craft and geek.

Starting with a canvas I didn't like, I walked around the house for hours until I came across a box of old keyboards...

It really looks very different under the scanner in comparison to real life.
