The unusual home made light box

Darn I think I deleted the original copies of my home fries pics before I could save them to permanent storage. Oh well. No biggy. Technically still have a copy in one of my bloggs for future projects of something. 

Anyways as promised here are pics of my unusual home made light box. (finally shown after several years) Made with lots of recycled stuff such as cardboard and styrofoam sandwiched together with home made white glue. Recipe found here. Then covered or wallpapered with more recycled paper that I saved long ago from my school days. In those days we used lots and lots of paper. We also did a lot of useless homework too, hence the crazy amount of paper. Then I sealed it with some shellac I guess, then painted it all up. I chose red and covered it with some goofy fun labels to make it all sciency but spoofy Otherwise I wouldn't have cared so long as it did its job. Earlier I had purchased a string of nearly pure white Christmas lights LED's of course. Since I couldn't find those string tube lights I used those and secured them on to a removable platform just in case they ever needed to removed. I already had a nice acrylic piece of plastic on hand to use as a surface for things that require tracing.  
Why didn't I just purchase one at the store? Because I already had plenty of materials and plus its environmentally sound. Plus those light box/tables you purchase at the store cost more then they should. Especially around here. So its a win, win, win situation.

What it looks like when plugged in with the plastic cover on. 🔺

Again lit up. 🔺

 What it looks like when not plugged in with cover on. Paper is placed on top for tracing when plugged in. Its easy to see the object underneath for tracing.🔺

  What it looks like when not plugged in another angle and without cover. 🔺

Just another shot of it. 🔺

 What it looks like on my work surface. Although because its pretty tall, I have to use it on the floor. I could not make it any less shorter to accommodate because of the lights I used. 🔺

Humming Bird feeder 2

Humming bird feeder2 is made out of an old Ferrero Rocher egg I collected years ago. Then I burned several holes at the top of the egg and burned an opening at the top as well so that I can pour the food in. I later placed a cork on that opening and as usual glued some nice fake flowers and beads to make the openings for food access look more appealing. Then I put it on another ring of grape vines I collected from the garden together with a small plastic net I also collected years ago. Good for stability. I have yet to see if any of my feeders will attract the little hummers since I was way too busy with yard work this year.

Blue Moth with LED Bulb

New year, new vector.

A new spin on an old classic. A blue moth in love with the concept of this new kind tech and the fact of not dieing from the heat of the older bulb types. Not sure if I'm going to make another one of these but then you never know what kind of tech may come down the road in the future. So will see.

Now available for viewing on my web site too. 

just an update

Almost finished that sock puppet. It looks really cool since it’s not your conventional sock puppet but more like a glorified one considering I added things like airbrushing and other things. Its really environmentally friendly since most of my materials that I used would have normally ended up in some landfill. Don't worry all the materials I used have been thuraly washed and you can tell cause every thing has a nice springtime smell to it.
I’m looking forward to show you guys.
