originally, i wanted to make a crochet hyperbolic plane for today, but i attempted to do some crochet and found that i need to re-learn it a little better before tackling something more ambitious. i ended up taking a photo of a pig lighter that was given to me as a gift (yes, the flames shoot out of the piggie’s nose):
and also made a mii of george washington for this week’s nintendo mii contest:
i’m still sick today and wasn’t feeling so inspired. i used to enjoy folding origami, so in keeping with the ‘paper’ theme, i thought i’d try it again… after 3 failed attempts to make an armadillo by joseph wu, a stag from a dollar bill by fred rohm, and a rose by bloom4ever, i gave up. next, i knit yet another olive—now i have 5, but i figure people are probably tired of seeing photos of single olives, so i’ll wait until i have my jarful to post the result. then i decided to make another mii—this week’s nintendo’s check mii out contest is themed ‘abraham lincoln’ in honor of his birthday. here was my attempt:
i was trying to capture his strong eyes, high forehead, stern expression, and narrow, long, and chiseled face.
finally, i took a picture of some bamboo outside my window:
today i made a mii (from nintendo’s wii) for the ‘check mii out’ channel’s weekly contest and submitted it. the theme was ‘biggest football fan’:
he’s supposed to look like he’s wearing a crazy hat (the horn looking things are eyebrows that were raised) and has face paint (glasses that were lowered), but i’m not sure how well it works… i used this image for inspiration—but i think i tried to be too specific and didn’t really convey what i intended. i probably should’ve tried to make something more like what one would think of a generic sports fan…
i also took pictures of other mii’s that i’ve made and/or contributed to and added them to my flickr page…
