Pirate ship 3 on Flickr.

Kitten Pirate Ship, a set on Flickr.

Aboard the Good Ship Smeagol…

Another time-consuming project I’ve been working on over the summer, the cat pirate ship play station…

I made this for my two 1 year old cats to amuse themselves with when we’re at work.

It’s still a work in progress, but this is how far I got with it before getting sidetracked by other projects and falling off my bike. It was still quite warm so, though I’d planned to attach sides to it, I thought they could wait until the colder nights.

In fact, it’s so cold now, we’ve had to bring the pirate ship into the living room (it was previously in a much colder room) so now the cats are loving it even more because they get to snooze on it and keep an eye on everything going on at the same time.

Anyway, I’ve been working on putting sides on it today, but haven’t taken any pics yet. I will update the Flickr page as I go though…

Portal Birthday Card, a set on Flickr.

Something I made for my best mate’s birthday back in June. Yes, she likes Portal to…

Portal Papercraft (1st attempt), a set on Flickr.

Papercraft is another thing I started this blog to share information about - I seem to have been side-tracked a little by Portal though….

If you’ve got any portal papercraft pictures you’ld like to share please do!

Batman Baddies 1 on Flickr.

After a Tumblr vacation, working on some other projects for a while, I thought I’d share some of what I’ve been up to.  I’m no artist by any means, but I do like having a go every now and then…the rest of the photo set is on Flickr :)

Hopewell Studios brings us ‘Where’s Wall-E?’ art from Geeking Cards.  This is a work of art and hopelessly addictive once you begin searching for all the beloved robot characters from you past and present…..wicked! :)

Spot the Portal characters!

Portal 2 nails by *Celestial298

Celestial298 says:

“So I was really bored and got a bunch of nail polish and made Portal nails. From pinky to thumb it’s (GLAdos, Glados’s Emotion core, A turret, Wheatley, and The weighted companion cube) Granted my nails are SUPER tiny cause I bite them so this was a pain and they are a bit sloppy but I don’t care it was fun. The other hand just says “Still Alive on the nails but it looks bad cause I cant use my right hand to paint for crap lol. Enjoy!

Portal stuff (c) Valve”

We say:

Oh my God!!! These are awesome, what an idea!  Celestial298, you may have been bored but you are still genius! :)

“Little Portal suff, featuring Chell in my Stick Character style.

I really like the simplicity of those pictogramme character, added to numerous detail from the character itself.”
