Jim / Dolphy-Box :

Okay, I admit this is waaaaay too kitschy. X) But I was in the mood for kitsch. 

Some friends were visiting me and we went to a big cool artists` supplies shop in Hamburg. We wanted to do handicrafts and looked for whatever would catch our attention. I found a wooden box and some neat glitter paint. *loves glitter* :D

Back at home I painted it, printed out three Jim / Dolphy pictures, cut them out, glued them onto the box and added some glitter and voilą! Kitsch-box finished! *lol*

Pirate pendants :

Wanted to have some TP-jewelry so I made these two pendants of black modelling material       (it`s called "Fimo" here in Germany).The pirate symbols were done with a white pen.and silver glitter.

Jim sculpture :

I was kinda mad because I couldn`t find any big Jim figures but only those tiny action figures so I tried to make one myself.The result : That thing nearly drove me crazy,it took me almost 24 hours to finish!Dunno if I`ll ever do something like that again.Hadn`t imagined that it would be SO much work. : P

JimSculpture6.jpg (59408 Byte) Realized that one has to use wires before making a sculpture when I saw the "Making of the maquettes" part on my TP-DVD.Always wondered why my sculptures collapsed. XP

JimSculpture7.jpg (73866 Byte) The wire frame in front of the sketch which I did for the posture of the sculpture and as reference for its look.Gotta say that Jim`s face was the most difficult part of all.

Solar surfer box :

( aka "Dolphy needed a place for her TP-collector`s cards" )

MyselfAndBox.jpg (53421 Byte) Took me "only" 4 hours.The box isn`t very big so the most difficult part was drawing the details so you could still recognize them.
