DIY Wallets

I have a wallet - thick and bulky. It’s almost like carrying a giant pouch of stuff around, which means it definitely isn’t an optimum situation when going somewhere. So anyway, since I enjoy making stuff sometimes, I looked up instructables.com and discovered a few simple tutorials, needing not much more than paper or shopping bags.

So I did them, and one for my mom’s birthday, since hers is almost as bulky as mine, but since her birthday isn’t up yet, so I can’t post any pics of it. Meanwhile, satisfy yourself by looking up these pages and folding yourself a wallet.

I used some old calendar for this paper wallet, since it isn’t as easy to rot as paper.

Sigh, I made a wrong cut in the beginning. But it didn’t really mattered, and though the plastic was kind of noisier than the paper wallet, it makes you feel more accomplished at the end.
Shopping Bag Wallet (Takes a lot more time.. but as you can imagine, more durable)

Wood/Plastic Models

Well, I’m not an avid ‘model-builder’, seeing that I’ve only built three of them in my entire life. Models actually don’t take any skill, you just need patience when sticking all the pieces together. Which can really cause frustration at times. But anyhow, here are my wood/plastic models.

My first model, a wooden sailing ship. Made it quite a number of years ago, but only did the sails two years ago, because the how the sails should be tied can be kind of confusing.

Ha. A F-15c Eagle, American fighter plane thingy. All the way from USA, given by my uncle to my brother, who was not interested in doing it, so I made it. It’s very detailed for a plastic model, made by Revell.

This, according to the name on the box, is St Petersburg Church. But I think, more accurately, it’s St Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow. Picture of the real thing here.

Lastly, the models in a group photo, so you know their relative sizes. Can you spot an unwelcome guest standing on the church?

Icons - Alias

This is the one I dislike most. With a crappy picture, I got a little too crazy on blurring and literally over-blurred.

Too green. But a cute picture from Season 4, APO pt 1, where Syd disappears along with the Shintaro sword (whatever).

A Dark Turn. I like this. Words from a brush … um … I’m not sure…

Classic ‘forced-to-shoot-loved-one’ moment. One of my favourite scenes from Season 1 (oh, those days! How happy we were!) …..

Irina. Shooting back into Season 5. Perfect.

If I’m not mistaken - the first time Jack smiles. Season 1, when Syd gives him Thanksgiving leftovers at work. (Because as a rule, Jack doesn’t celebrate any season).

I must have been so bored as to even type comments on icons. Really.

Icons

I don’t think I’ve posted these stuff yet. I think they’re based on tutorials.

All from Narnia trailer clips (except for the last one) and resources… my apologies. I don’t remember.

More Icons - Narnia

Since Edmund was being lonely as the only kid from Narnia being made into an icon, I did the rest of the kids, plus the eagle from the trailer. And yeah, Narnia is out already, going to watch tomorrow.

Lucy

Peter - I think. Can’t see his face though. And I hope it’s Peter.

Mr. Eagle (lyrics is that song - on eagle’s wings)

Icons

After fiddling around for awhile and having it turn out to be…..quite unexpected, I decided to post it anyway. It happened mainly because I just had to use some light textures, and they did not match with the bottom picture. So I sort of added another light tex to the bottom pic. My brother again, because he’s the sweetest thing.

I made this one some time back, using a screencap from ‘Because of Winn-Dixie’. Initially I took the screencap while trying out different programs. And it did come in handy.

Credits: Okay, this is bad. I don’t know who made the film brush at the left side, nor the gradient I used.

Another icon

I got bored (again), so I made an Aslan icon.

Credits: Screencap taken from throw_elijah, texture from liminalstate, and brush is a poster tape (I forgot where from) and tiny text from colorfilter. Plus Trajan as the font.
