Weekend Project: Cup O' Water

I was fiddling around yesterday and put together some water molecules. I didn't really like the idea of them at first because they really couldn't stand up on their own and thought that they might look better in a cup. And now I have a cup of water:



The small cup could barely fit two molecules, but I wanted to have a molecule overflowing when in the cup. No mouths on these guys. I tried to slap some on, but I really just liked it without a mouth. Maybe the purple is too dark.


I'm starting to love the molecular look!

There's a Mess of Organic Molecules Floating Around

I think I may like making organic structures a little too much. I'm still trying to think of simpler things to make because while I do want to create a DNA model, that just seems too labor intensive to do atom by atom. So far there's a ton of methanes, an ethanol and acetic acid. I'll have to go bigger and do sugars since I want to make cyclohexanes in chair form...hmm does anyone know what I'm talking about or should I just leave the geekiness to myself? Any other suggestions of molecules to make?

I Want to Live in Hawaii

I was fortunate enough to visit the island of Kaua'i on my honeymoon earlier this year and have been pining to go back ever since. The beaches are so incredible there and if I could ever live there I wouldn't hesitate to leave the mainland. So I decided to make a cute little hula bear:



I decided she needed a fuzzy coconut top too! =)

Etsy anyone?

I finally finished uploading everything on etsy!!! yaaaay!! Now please buy my stuff at:

In other news, the camera got found and is in working condition so far, so I should be posting more regularly again.

Lack of Camera = Lack of Posting

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, but we'll get there...

I'm buying a new camera...stay tuned!

Angel Kitty

More Hello Kitty stuff!

The angel kitty is really cute and is probably one of the first ones that I made. I especially like her wings!

It's Me! Kinda

I've never been a big fan of dolls.

Ok, that's an understatement. I have what's called Pediophobia, which is the fear of dolls, and I pretty much tense up and get all freaked out when I see a doll (my husband can attest to the bone crushing hand holding when we pass by the American Girl store on Michigan Ave). I'm not crazy, but had just been afraid ever since I got a porcelain doll as a gift when I was about 6 or 7 and I swear in the middle of the night it blinked and turned its head at me. I think I must have just watched Chucky or something on TV and I haven't recovered ever since.

So I've never been a big fan of the amigurumi dolls, but figured I should try it out for practice since I've wanted to make warcraft characters. So I started with me:


And I already want to throw it away, although it doesn't scare me so much. I'm just against having dolls in my home...

Putting on hair is the most annoying thing ever, I'd have to say. But otherwise, my husband says it looks nothing like me, which is good for me, and I never wear dresses like that, but dresses are fun to make!

However, I think that will be the last doll I'll ever make. I might make my cat and stick it next to me to make it look cuter and less scary. Or maybe I'll just keep making my bears...
