Portal 2 : turret side-tracking...

I posted video footage of this a while ago... and the next day it was a broke-a-did by a friend while I was showing it off. Oops.

Finally got around to [hot] gluing it back together this weekend. 's kinda' cute... Unfortunately one of the sides is a bit thick and that's the side connected to the tip of the nail (I use nails for my straight lines in this) which all just means that the connection to the "arm" is too thick and it can't close completely. As demonstrated below.


In case you need some helper music while watching this... Don't forget the Portal 2 soundtrack is an EXCELLENT free download!

Clearly I need to work on my .gif making...


(in other news : worken on the quilt... worken' worken'. The garden is growing- I have not one but TWO pea pods now! The pole beans are really, any day now, about to flower... any day now... )

Makings the stuffs

I've no idea why I was so struck with the whole Portal thing. Don't get me wrong, I still really like turrets and all the variants there of... but my intense intrest caused a some project backup. The first of several has finally finished. I hope to get another 2 done this weekend...

Anyway- portal 2 turret embroidery project:

But no- it's not just some really mediocore piece! There's more!


I think the best thing about the turrets is the sad little things they say. I've also completely failed to find a good use till now for the RadioShack voice recorder thing I bought over a year ago. Solutions all around. Referenced from this photo. Not as good as some of the other turret embroidery out there either. Need to work on my detailing... and some other types of filler stitches...

Anyway, yeah, doing stuff... Still doing gardening-things. Haven't had a bottle-planted plant die yet so I keep putten' them seeds in there...
(Blogger was down last night when I wanted to write this post... so instead Adam and I played Little Big Planet for the first time... holy shit. Beautiful AND fun. New project ideas!)
