This blog is going to be an outlet to share my many endeavors/bad ideas. Whether it be a tale of attempting to abscond with a cement deer to learning woodcarving and carpentry. As my funds are currently non-existent it will mostly be tales of past mischief while I save up to get supplies and equipment (a digital camera for instance)

I couldn't figure out how to embed video but I think everyone should watch this. They take video from CSPAN and other news networks and autotune it. This song is one of my favourites. It's called turtles: 
Autotune the News

DeviantArt

Apparently my old DeviantArt account still exists despite the fact that I haven't logged in in about 4 years. So I've decided to share some of my old duct tape creations.

This is the first purse I made. I've probably made about 8 since. It zipped closed and also had a zippered pocket inside.


I didn't know it was my friend's birthday (because she never told me when it was) so I made her this card in my history class.




Some of the first things I made were a hat and pair of gloves that ended up changing colour frequently. I ended up taping them to a 2 liter bottle to make Dewey. The hat was also one of the few things I used something other than tape, zippers, and wire for. The bill is some cardboard from an empty 12 pack.





Made myself a backpack junior year. It's compartmentalized inside. Used n old pen for the latching mechanism, the rest is tape.




Cosplay for the second annual Anizonia, an anime con in Phoenix, AZ. Gloves, hat, and tunic are 100% tape. Also made a working bow and arrow out of a thin piece of wood, a dowel rod, and some twine. IT was accurate to about 40 ft. Later that year I went to Anime Expo with Vash's trenchcoat from Trigun made completely of duct tape, but I don't have any pics of it.

  
My wallet for about a 3 year period. It was originally silver. It's also been purple, black, blue, camo, orange, and pure red.

Just found this on the web to help people prepare for the Renaissance festival:


Important Elizabethan English Phrases

Stepping into the past at a Renaissance festival can be intimidating if you don't know how to speak Elizabethan English. To help, here's a list of the phrases you will most often need to use:
  • Oy, Sire, dids't thou see my missing hounds? Some knaive hast released them from their pen. They've a day's work to do and I must known who hast released my dogs. Who? Who, I ask you? Who?
  • If it were that thou didst like the wench, pray tell why not apply a ring to her?
  • My riding style is quite clean in the crop, but some rogue continues to attempt to spy me riding dirtily. Zounds!
  • Please, good sirs, say "Uhhhhhhh Nuh Nah Nuh Nah!"
 
I must find this sweater vest. If anyone comes across send me a message please.
It will be mine.
