Day 210: Big Mouth

Today I made a big mouth out of apple slices and mini marshmallows.








It would be better with a red delicious apple and some sort of glue to keep the teeth from slipping all over.

FYI, mini marshmallows soaked in apple juice don't taste very good.

Day 209: Animated GIF Experiment

Today I experimented with an iPhone app to make an animated photo image. (I'm not sure if the animation will show up from here - let me know if there's no movement and I'll have to re-post from a real computer.)
I think I'll have to do some animated Short Attention Span Girls.

Day 208: A Tribute to Dante

Today, the votes were counted and it was discovered that Dante the DragonDuck won the award for being the awesomest duck at this year's Renton River Days. My friend Mat created Dante for Wizards of the Coast. He also made last year's winning duck, Indigo the (blue) DragonDuck. (Enough links in that paragraph?)


So to honor the second annual ducky victory, I invented a drink, which shall be henceforth known as Dante's Fiery Breath of Winning.


No, that tiny red devil duckie in the picture is not Dante, although he does claim to be a distant relative. Dante's too busy touring the world and visiting Disneyland to make an appearance in my lowly photo shoot. Whatev. So tiny devil duckie took pity on me and volunteered to add some ducky goodness to my photo.

The drink is made with my homemade banana pepper vodka and Clamato juice. Kind of a twist on the Bloody Caesar. It is yummy and mouth-numbing, especially with the added banana pepper + grape tomato garnish. Yowza!

Day 207: Piece of Cake

Today's make was a piece of cake. Har har har.








Actually, it was tricky to make, especially since I can't find any of my adhesives other than scotch tape.

Day 205: A Little Red Box

Today I dug out some of my scrapbooking paper and made a little box.


I don't know what I'll put in it yet. Maybe something shaped like Skittles. Mmmmm...Skittles.

Day 204: Forces of Darkness, Beware!

Today, Pogo decided it wasn't fair that Boris had a Captain America shield, so he demanded that I make for him Mjolnir, Thor's hammer. It was a little tricky, but Pogo is pleased. For now.


Now the two little monkeys are ready to fight crime in 3 dimensions.

Day 202: The Star-Spangled Man with a Plan

Boris was so excited about Captain America in 3-D that he demanded a shield of his own, for protecting himself and maybe Pogo as long as bananas aren't at stake.


When I mentioned that he didn't even get to see the movie, he yelled "Schnell!" and smacked Pogo.

Monkeys are weird.
