Merry Cheesemas!

Okay, I will start posting again, even though I still don't have photoshop, because there's so much to share!
So first off: Merry belated Christmas! Or Happy Holidays! Whatever you'd rather hear.

For the first time in pretty much ever, I am actually proud of something I have made.
Remember this pizza?
Well, I decided to make my sister a more permanent one out of latex.
I'd never done anything like this before, only a teeny, tiny shrunken head, which doesn't really count, just because it was that tiny.
So I bet I did a lot of stuff wrong, but the outcome is what counts, and like I said, I'm actually rather pleased with it.

 I first made the pizza, then the cheese out of clay and then molded it.

 Then poured in the latex, which actually firmed up way quicker than I thought it would.

(I accidentally broke the pizza mold and had to patch it before pouring in the latex...and later the whole thing broke...oh well)

 I didn't have much space to work on, so I wrapped my cake decorating table in aluminium foil and just used that. Together with my very professional tools: popsicle sticks, a kitchen sponge and bottle caps.

 I made the cheese after the pizza, and accidentally made it too small >-< After I was almost finished with everything, I thought of the ball with which the pizza was gagged in the episode, so I painted a ping pong ball (while giggling to myself the entire time...fumes, man) and used that.

The sauce and pepperoni were supposed to have a glossy finish, but I didn't have anything at home, and it being the holidays, the stores were either closed or I didn't have time. Personally, I'd still like to make it glossy now, but my sister says it's okay like this. For the next one, then ;)

 I'd say this is one of the best reactions one can get for a Christmas present reveal :D

 Pizzaface minion, gagged and bound, ready for questioning.

 And it fit perfectly into my sister's new shell backpack! So we took it along to our grandma's, where we had a bit of fun with it.

Like so ;)

EAT ME!

Eat me!

Eat me!

Come on. Eat me!

Taste my delicious blend of four melted cheeses.

Annabel made me a Pizza Face underling for lunch today ♥
The four cheeses were Parmesan, Mozzarella, Brie and Gouda.
With pepperoni slices cut to size >w<

 I just shamelessly stole the entire post from my sister's tumblr, because I'm lazy. Really lazy.
Although, I made the pizza, which counts for something, right?
I hope you watched that particular episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, if not, shame on you (and your cow)! 

And if you did watch it, and did not like it, shame on you (and your cow)!

Heroes in a Half Shell!

Finally! My super slow Internet wouldn't let me upload the pictures, but finally, a success!

So, nickelodeon has this new (well, it's from 2012, so not THAT new, but still more recent than the 2003 one for example) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, which you should really start watching, if you haven't already, because it's adorable.
One week ago, nick decided to have a Turtles meet and greet at one of the most random stores imaginable (seriously, Turtles in the midst of perfume and mascara?), and of course my sister and I had to go see them.
Now all I can say is...I MET MIKEY AND LEO!!!
And they were so freaking adorable, I wanted to take them home with me!
Once again, I'd like to remind you, that my sister and I are over 20, which is probably one of the reasons why people thought we were working at that store, instead of fangirling about Turtles...
(Although, we weren't the only 'grown ups' there!)

 Just look at Mikey's excited, little face!

 Awwwwwwwww

 Even his fighting stance is made of adorable

 And he was so tiny!

 Either Leonardo stole Donatello's mask, or Leo and Raph accidentally washed theirs together.

 Tiny, adorable Mikey with tall(ish), adorable Leo

 We actually came back a second time, because we kept arguing about taking pictures with the Turtles. My sister and I are both camera shy, but the second time, when we were just about the leave, MIKEY CAME TOWARDS ME. So of course I had to take a picture with him! (Also, once again, look how tiny he is! I'm 163cm/5'4", and he's shorter than I am)

Of course, after that I had taken a pictures with the them, my sister had to as well. That there in the middle would be her. She's not usually that green though.

Okay, enough fangirling for now. Just know, that I was super excited that day, and kept grinning all the way home.

Easter presents part 2

I love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and so does my sister. So naturally, I wanted to make something from the new series, and what better to hide than Mikey's zits!
Yes, you read that right, zits.
In this one episode, Mikey puts some rejected mutagen on himself, so it'd make him 'super cool', and then breaks out in zits.

Which in his thought bubble look like this.

So I thought I'd make a few Mikey zits out of latex, so they're squeezable. I've only ever made two teeny tiny shrunken heads out of latex before, so I have actually no idea what I'm doing.
In the end, I only made two zits, but as soon as I figure out how to make okay looking Mikeys, I'll fill the entire Super Cooled jar with them :D

Anyway, looky here:

Little, tiny, sadly broken, Mikey zit.

The jar is way smaller than in the episode (it's actually a Skippy peanut butter jar 8D), but it's what I had lying around, and I think it's cute.

 SQUISH

SQUASH

I actually hid the zits inside some actual flowers. You know, like Thumbelina.

Bet my sister is the only person who was hunting for Easter Zits 8D
