More 3D Fun

Since my last post about 3D printing I have come across more fun things to do. Again, I know I will never do this, but if I had access to a printing device I think these would be neat.

 

 

Christmas/Holiday stuff

I saw this deer figure and realized that you could do some cool Christmas things for a little tableau/vignette. And they wouldn’t need to be painted, just all one color. Deer, pine trees, etc. And the same for other holidays.

 

 

Paperclips

I had NO idea this was possible! Super cool!!

 

 

Chess pieces

I do NOT play chess. I know how the different pieces move, but have no head for any kind of strategy. But I would LOVE a cat chess set. Just to display. Maybe just move around a bit to make it look like there’s a game in progress.

 

 

Yarn bowl

I haven’t done any crochet/knit work in quite a while, but this would be neat to have to keep the balls of yarn from traveling. One time I looked up what some of the beautiful wooden bowls cost and decided that I really didn’t need one. This would be awesome.

 

 

Toilet paper holder

What’s not to love about this?!? This would’ve been fun when the kids were little. BTW, did you ever think about how Lego people living in Lego houses live in homes MADE FROM THEIR OWN FLESH?? Ponder THAT one…

 

 

Happy (Late) Anniversary To Me!!

 

I’ve been writing this blog for 20 years and 3 months. For some reason I had it in my mind that it started in August. No…it was May of 2006. That’s a LOT or words!!

 

I started it on MySpace and then gradually got a real website and linked it to Facebook. I wasn’t consistent in the beginning as to when or how much I’d post. Sometimes the blog was just a paragraph, and I didn’t know how to attach pictures or images. I think I do much better now. I do know I don’t babble like I used to. I now try to write something that will actually be of some interest to someone.

 

Poems, book reports, views on whatever…

It’s been fun. I will continue to write until someone takes the keyboard out of my cold, dead hands…

 

I’ll close with this Haiku…

 

20 years!! Oh my!!

Lotsa words about my life.

Validate me, please!

 

Some of it funny,

Some of it interesting—

     maybe,

Just read it!

 

Playing With Your Food

 

There are some very cute/fun things you can do with food. I’m sure some of them are quite tasty as well as being funny. Some take a LOT of time to execute, and don’t seem worth it when it’s eaten so quickly. But that’s just me. I can make good food, but it sure won’t be picture-worthy. Maybe a mashed potato mountain with gravy lava. Most of these pictures had no recipe.

 

 

Ghost Cake

I have a LOT of respect for the professionals who design and make gorgeous cakes. This one isn’t bad to make at home. The candle eyes made from egg shells and candles is a neat idea. This one at least had a real recipe.

 

 

Hot Dog “Roast” (and something else)

It doesn’t say what’s in the middle. I doubt that it’s baked beans. The topping might be shredded cheese. The red stuff might be ketchup or pimento pieces. At least you know the broccoli is healthy.

 

 

Chicken Pie

A LOT of effort for something that is basically a chicken potpie. I don’t know if the chicken head is real, but those feet certainly look like the real thing. The crust looks like it might be tasty.

 

 

Sea Creatures

My guess is the whale (?) is made from a zucchini and the shark is a cucumber. At least when the meal is over, you can take these decorations and actually make something from them to eat.

 

 

Hard Boiled Egg Shenanigans

I don’t know what the first two creatures are supposed to be. The penguin is cute, though. And they are completely edible. I can’t imagine taking the time to do a whole platter of these.

 

 

Frogs

I can’t guess what these are made from. The lily pads might be from raw potatoes. What the yellow frogs are I’ve no idea. It has to be something firm enough to carve. Squash?

 

 

?????

NO CLUE about this one. Actual frogs/toads? Whatever, it’s a HARD PASS! There’s not enough alcohol to get me to try one of these. I’d just watch someone else eat one and wait for the reaction…What’s YOUR guess???
