Laptop Cover

Some heavy downpours of rain made me realise I really needed a somewhat waterproof cover for my laptop when travelling. Unfortunately my backpack is not the correct shape for a traditional backpack raincover.
I bought faux leather upholstery fabric years ago, and the snaps, to make weird softcover books.
The blue bias binding is leftovers from hackspace ovenmitt.

Dress-up with Build-a-Bear ponies

Not much to say about this. Just using some scrap fabric. The tiara is a pound shop My Little Pony tiara.

The apron is modelled after the on in the episode Dragon Quest. Pinkie's dress is just Pinkie-ish.

Dinosaurs from Foamboard

Based off of those wooden dino skeleton "puzzles", easily available from the likes of eBay. I'd punch out the pieces, then take a picture of the leftover "waste"... convert that picture to high contrast, trace lines in Gimp and make a cleaned up bitmap and printed it out in MS Paint over several sheets of paper. Pieced these together with tape and cut them out then laid them out on foamboard (foam coreboard).

Here's Stumpy (nicknamed that because the design and accompanying photo made him look quite short & stout):
Wooo Stumpy the dino lives! :D

and Pterri, who now hangs from the ceiling of London Hackspace
