If you haven't already, you can get typewriter ribbon at Staples for four or five bucks (or at least you could when I got my typewriter back in '05).

I went through a phase where I typed up my blog entries and scanned them. Unfortunately that was also when my entries tended to be about pretty inane stuff.
Aluminium foil on cardboard--great effect!

My little helper and I had a great time baking and decorating galaxy star sugar cookies and painting the photobooth backdrop. His pride in the projects was so heartwarming, I'm smiling just thinking of it. We als
I’ve run across some more beautiful pop bottle creations since yesterday’s post . These incredible pieces were made by Gülnur Özdağlar. I kinda have a thing for jellyfish… I found more awesome plastic bottle jellyfish made by Miwa Koizumi over here .

I was going to type it up on the typewriter but we haven't got a ribbon for it yet.

A two-part epoxy would be a much safer bet if you want your metal bits to stay together.
