Nook Simple Touch DIY - Book Cover

My mother just got a Nook, but had no cover for it, the ones that matched weren't really cool or maybe too expensive for what you get. I was looking for one but after a while I just decided to make one on my own.
I went to a thrift store to look for a book that would match but the options weren't many, finally I found an interesting book with no title, not exactly what I was looking for, but good enough. A children's book for $1.

THE BOOK I FOUND

I HAD TO CUT THE PAGES ONE BY ONE  WITH A X-ACTO KNIFE AND USE ELMER'S GLUE,
BUT THE HEIGHT WASN'T ENOUGH.

IT FITTED THE NOOK BUT HAD TO ADD SOME CARDBOARD  FOR HEIGHT.
(READING KEVIN SMITH BOOK - Tough Shit: Life Advice from a Fat, Lazy Slob Who Did Good (2012))

THE BORDER DOESN'T HAVE THE FINISH I WANTED, PROBABLY A PAPER GUILLOTINE WOULD HAVE HELPED. 

FINALLY THE CLOSED BOOK LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH AND CONCEALS THE NOOK THE WAY  I WANTED.

THE DAY AFTER I FOUND THIS NICE COVER FOR 10 BUCKS AT MARSHALLS.
HA, I SENT THEM BOTH TO HER. (SHE'S SAYS SHE'S USING THE BOOK...)

Sam & Max - 1st polymer clay experiment

My first try at polymer clay.
I used to make wire sculptures, painted and sold them but mostly gave them away and that's it. 
Now I'd like to do something more detailed so I'm giving a shot @ clay. 

I used: Super Sculpey, some wire I bought, aluminium foil and some wooden tools for clay. All bought at Michael's. (Also got a couple tools and a stand in a bin of spare stuff at a small art store near my job)

Still haven't baked or painted it. I'll get to it soon.

WIRES AND ALUMINUM FOIL

FIRST DRAFT: EAR HANDS AND HEAD TOO SMALL

2ND DRAFT ADDED WIRE TO THE EARS, HAND  NEEDS TO BE REDONE

FINAL DRAFT: HANDS REDONE. STILL NEEDS SOME MINOR FIXES, I GUESS
THEY CAN BE DONE AFTER THE OVEN. 

BACK OF HANDS NEED SOME PATCHING

First T-shirts

These are some t-shirt designs I made with my cousin while bored. I found a tutorial for making stencils ironing freezer paper and using fabric acrylic paints. Can't find the original link but here's a similar one.

B-Movies

I love B-movies, troma, and low budget movies, yet the options for those kinda movies weren't too many as a kid, but I guess back then I did saw many B-movies without even realizing that, I had some neighbors who owned a video store, they were 20-something, I was a teen, my friend next door was almost my age, so we went to rent horror movies almost every time, we may have seen most of the horror movies in there.

They were so funny, few were scary, some tried too hard, some had gratuitous nudity or sex , funny random violence, lots of gore, the whole formula for a teenager.

Later I found this web page and made me realize I was in the right path only waaay behind. There may be other webs for b-movies but this one is just great.

The way the movie is reviewed, timeline, highlights, pics, a video of a priceless scene, and rating.

Some were very hard to find, but it was worth and even if you don't like the movie enough to look for it, the necessary info is there.

the title of my blog link is a profound insight from the mini video in GI Samurai review.

Later I found Mystery Science Theater 3000 that show was just great, it's just everything what you did with your buddies, like watching Michael Bay movie, a extremely high budget b-movie. You can make fun of the movie all the way, except for the supposedly funny parts.
