Sorry, I have not been following this thread because until very recently most of my worldly possessions were still in boxes and bins. I still have not found the old pill botte with my good sewing needles in it. I fear it is gone forever. They were really good needles. I have not found my thimble. It was thick. It was one of the very few that was big enough to fit my finger. It was made in the shape of a humanoid head with pointed ears and an expression that can onlly be explained by extreme drunkeness.
The moving men seem to have thrown out my big bag of clown stuff. Besides other mass produced items, it contained- a two piece jester outfit I made from an old sheet. For some reason, Rit dye did not dye the fabric green. I ended up having to color it by hand with fabric markers. I sewed a pair of baggy clown pants from a blue fitted sheet. They had a built in elastic waist band. As an unexpected bonus, the way the seams lined up gave the appearance of a comedically oversize drooping butt.
On the upside, I was sure the moving men threw out my Cthulhu helmet. They did not.
The tiny Cthulhu idol I made, had fired, and spray painted bronze survived the trip without harm.
The staff toppe Cthulhu idol I made from an old action figure, a hollow plastic lemon and various other bits came through mostly unharmed. I need to re attach one of the webbed feet. I keep forgetting to buy green, sugarless gum for this purpose. It also needs a paint touch up.
But, none of these projects are what brought me to this thread. I mentioned my old habit of cutting the back pockets out of jeans before I throw them away. I then mount them on the wall with thumb tacks and store things in them. burpo_the_wonder_mutt said I needed to post a photo of that.
The top pocket contains two game cartridges for my Nintendo Virtual Boy. A third cartridge is in the Virtual Boy. The headset, power cord, controller and the metal stand are all stored on a shelf under my desk.
The bottom pocket contains a variety of games for the Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, and the DS.
At the top of the photo is a display set from the wonderful Monster In My Pocket toy line.
I am a poor model painter. None of my many models were packed properly. All of them need repair. As I get around to gluing them back together, I will post photos of them too.
I am finally close to having all my stuff unpacked. If you do not want me to post photos of all the surviving projects, please be kind and polite but you should let me know now.
