Someone poked me in my creative spot. Not with a squid. This sounds bad. Origami.

I'm manic creative again.  I have these creative dry spells for months and then all of the sudden,  it all just kind of trips up the rest of my life and I make 2938742938742 things in the span of a week.  Then nuthin'. 

I am dining room light shopping.  Sort of..  well I got one of those round Ikea rice paper lanterns to replace the Wall-E Villain Canadian Tire Special light that currently hangs over my table.  Anyhow, since I can never leave well enough alone AND Ikea rice paper lampshades are $6 each,  I've decided to cover one with origami somethings to make it more interesting/completely weird/probably hideous.  Can't have a plain old normal light, right, self?  I'm torn between doing that and making a homemade 60s style string lamp.  Like this:

Like wasps nests, but with more glue. 

Paper Crane Lamp:  seemed like a good idea yesterday. 

Um...  All of the sudden, plain rice paper is sounding REEEEL nice.

Right, so I got distracted on the making of paper cranes anyway, because I haven't made one.  Not one.  But I did make these:

Archie comic throwing stars

Archie comic origami butterflies

Origami Dragon

Origami cave squid.

Origami gift box.

Archie Comic bird (my favorite)

It was crazy complicated for me. 

 And then, while Neil was watching the Elvis Costello show, I painted me a typewriter.  I want to do one on an enormous canvas... also I want to work on it for more than 15 minutes.

Wheeeeeeeee.

I probably have some kind of horrible brain affliction.  Also, toast would be delicious right about now. 

PS.  I have not forgotten, and I will be announcing a winner for the great header moustache contest of last week!  YES!  I've chosen, but I'm too tired to change my header right now.

PSS.  I dropped my book in the toilet when I fell asleep in the bathtub today.  I thought I was setting it on the nice closed lid.  Not so much.   Nice.  Now I have to buy a new one, because it was in there for like 15 minutes.  So I tossed it.  I hate tossing books;  I hate reading books from in the toilet more, though.

PPPSSSS....  (ETA)  LEARN THE PROPER WAY TO EAT A CUPCAKE HERE. 


The end.
