Altoids TARDIS

Ages ago I got a whole load of empty Altoids tins ('near mint' - the wit advertising them described them as) and I'd yet to do anything with any of them. So I made a TARDIS. The whole tin is covered in blue paper and mod podged (watered down PVA glue) to seal and protect it. 

Penny next to it for size

This is the inside. The four little characters are on little magnets.

Doctor. Although he isn't really correct sized for his police box

 Amy and Rory hang out with the Doctor

Oh no, here comes trouble

Just to give you an idea how teeny this all is (I had my camera's macro setting up to maximum!)

Pumpkins 2012

  

Here's the sigil of Targaryen, or a three headed dragon if you prefer.

Marceline, the vampire queen

A weeping angel. Don't blink


Eric Northman, a True Blood vampire (as a shaded version. and then as a cut through)

Serenity, firefly class transport ship 

Captain Mal Reynolds. Unfortunately the pumpkin wasn't the best shape and so from the angle I took the picture at (so as to get the gun) his face looks a bit wobbly.

A silly little guinea pig, just so they didn't feel left out

Something a bit different - Van Gogh's Starry Night

Lucky cat

Milton Brewery beer pump clip. If I keep at it at this rate, I should have pumpkinised all of their beers by the time I'm 50.

 

The pub logo for the most excellent Live & Let Live

Had I done this a day later I probably wouldn't have been able to resist the urge to carve  mouse ears attacking him instead.

And an extra special Halloween bonus for you. My halloween costume - apparently the least well known meme in Cambridge.

Oh *good*, another hat

Birthday hats

I decided to make people wear my hats on my birthday [foot stamp - I'm the birthday girl, you *have* to wear this ridiculous hat].

But then... you know, the panic. What if there aren't enough?? What if people leave the pub thinking "hmm... ok evening, but I COULD HAVE DONE WITH MORE POMPOMS?!"
So, I made a couple more.

(Pictures of hats in action here)

There have many discussions as to whether to sew the mask into place so that it can't be pulled down. I'm thinking I will. I may even add eyes.

Same thing we do every night...

Red fraggle. The most annoying of all fraggles. With the possible exception of mooki. That bloody sack-wearing hippy fraggle - I could totally take a pair of scissors to her stitching!

Matching draught excluder and door stop set

OK, no more Adventure Time after today.

The logic behind these went thusly: I genuinely do want a draught excluder, and I thought it had to be either Lady or nyancat, and I figured having a non-functional pop tart/face attached to the rainbow would be finickity. And then yesterday, while brainstorming how else to use up my black and white fluff, the Ice King door stop came to me. Nevermind the fact that I don't have any doors.


Lady Rainicorn looks like she is in the naughty corner. Possibly because she let Jake get to tier 15 with her.

Door stop Ice King, looking sad that he has no snow.

When Ice King is being naughty just tweak him on the nose and lead him wherever you want.
