Yes, that’s right!
I played hooky from sewing and took a detour into printable land! :D (and then from there to a small, pretty pointless photostory with the one requisite “pizza-shot”) ;)

The pics show off Merrit’s new shirt, and one of Raven’s new outfits. The set up is minimal (sorry, it’s all I can manage right now. The story was just an excuse to show off the printables I made today)

Today was nice in so far as taking a break from sewing goes. However…I’m not really willing to classify making printables as “fun”. While I generally am happy with my attempts at making printables to use as props in my 1:6 dioramas I don’t find the actual process of making them that much fun. (I know, you’re asking me, but what about those books? Didn’t you spend hours and hours scanning them?)
I should clarify: I would enjoy the process MUCH much more if I had a flat bed scanner that was bigger than a sheet of A4. I never really thought when I left it behind in the states that I would miss my ledger sized scanner. An 11×17 bed would make a lot of this so much easier. Eventually, when I feel more up to it, I’ll take some decent pictures. And make better printables. They would probably have come out better on ink jet paper. Next time. ;) Meh.

*sorry for the few typos & errors in wordage. I’m tired and I wanted to get this done before I went to sleep. those are my only explanations.*

Against all expectations the toy fair was a pretty good experience! I managed to not only get the long coveted Honda CR 750 *and for a really really reasonable price* but I also managed to get some miniatures to use in dioramas as props. On top of that cool-ness I managed to score 3 action figures— a Connor McCloud from Highlander *just want his clothes–mark has his head & body now*, a Dr.Who Martha Jones (for 5 bucks how can you go wrong?) and lastly, a figure Called vampyre, but who I believe is a take off (or un-lic’d version of Nosferatu… or at least to my old memory it seems that way)

Cool thing is that Nosferatu comes w/ his very own rats!!!! :D I’m thinking of seeing if I can make one of them have a jointed neck for use in the photostories.

I also managed to pick up a pair of jackboots, and a pair of “bike” boots for Cass to use while riding the honda. As of yet, no helmet, so she’s either breakin the law….or hangin out in one of the no-helmet states…

ok pics!
