Day 87 – 4/15/12 – Woodburned Angel

woodburning

I used my weeping angel stamp on my woodblock and then traced the lines with the wood burner pen. Granted, the ink and the burnt wood were about the same color so it’s hard to tell, but it was fun!

Day 88 – 4/16/12 – Evil Flan

Pencil

Chu’s request: an evil flan.

Day 89 – 4/17/12 – Thom Monster

Pencil

 

This monster is inspired by the works of the elusive Thom May. I miss Pihakwa.

Day 90 – 4/18/12 – Pinata Plan Monster

Pencil

Day 90 said to make a pinata, and I very much want to take part in this task… But current housing situation is not ideal for papier mache and baseball bats. So I took a cue from Viva Pinata and made a confused… bird… thing.

Day 91 – 4/19/12 – Croissant Dough Monster

Croissant Dough

As I was fretting about what monster to make next, Chu called me into the kitchen where he was kneading a massive batch of croissant dough. A few strategically placed punches, and a mushed up face appears!

Day 92 – 4/20/12 – Time Monster

Pencil

The prompt for day 92 suggested writing a letter to yourself, past or future, but I decided to make a monster out of time. Stepping away from Dr. Who though, I aimed for a monster emerging from a clock.

Day 93 – 4/21/12 – Nuts and Bolts

I raided the toolbox for loose hardware for this guy. How prickly!

365 Monsters Days 73 – 79

April 8, 2012 in 365, Crafts

Starting to get my mojo back! Next week I think I’ll be back to doing these daily instead of scrambling for doing 7 in one day!

Day 73 – 04/01/12 – Post-it Skull Monster

Pen & Post-it

In honor of Noah Scalin featuring me on his blog!

Days 74 & 75 – 04/02/12 – 04/03/12 – Cutout Final Fantasy Monsters

Construction paper

 

I got a brand new exacto knife (one that actually has a cap!) and promptly took it to construction paper to carve out these guys. They’re both from the  Final Fantasy games: a Tonberry and Courrier Carrie.

Day 76 – 04-04-12 – Potato-Ness

Potato.

Yay for potato stamps!

Days 77 – 79 – 04/05/12 – 04/07/12 – Rubber Stamp Monsters

A quick trip to the craft store and I came back with some stamp-making supplies! My first real stamps include Angry Monster Face, another Exo-Urchin, and a Weeping Angel from Doctor Who.
