Mod Mischief

Apparently I'm not very good at remembering to post wedding updates on Wednesdays. It's Thursday, but it's also 100 days from our wedding date! We've been doing lots of wedding stuff lately. Chris has been working on the design of the invitations and hopefully we'll be able to start putting them together soon. I've been busy working on our card box. It's going to be a Claptrap, CL4P-TP General Purpose Robot, from the video game Borderlands . I'm basing the card box on a simplified papercraft version  of the robot that I've scaled up and made out of cardboard. I'm almost done covering it papier maché. We've also made progress on the centre pieces. Some of our fantastic friends helped us with making pop tab chainmaille covers for the mason jar vases.

We've been keeping busy. I've started making chainmaille from pop tabs, following this great instructable . It's pretty easy and a good way to keep myself occupied while watching Netflix. Unfortunately, I still need to collect many, many more pop tabs before I can make anything beyond a couple inches of maille. In an effort to make our apartment look less like a scene from Hoarders, we dismantled the dinosaur that's been living in our bedroom for over a year. Looks like Little Al won't be getting his legs after all. We've salvaged most of the materials from the body for future projects, but we did keep his head intact. I've got new plans for it. Finally, in other news, I've gone and joined twitter . I'm still trying to get the hang of it. Yes, I'm totally behind with the times.
