What a cute idea! I might try that.

Another paper-related craft; once again, I did not make the original.
But Yoda just seems so "appropriate," you know?
Anyway, this is the original craft [a paper Yoda portrait that "looks at you" no matter where you are in the room]
My "modification" : I wanted a [cheap] pair of Yoda ears to wear, and these look quite nice when made properly; I printed the page with the ears on some cardstock paper, and used crazy/tacky glue to bond them; then I shaped them as instructed [just.. kinda bend them into an ear shape while the glue's still moist].
Then, take 2 bobby pins and shape the flat side to the contour of the ears, about half an inch from the start of the ear, and bend back the zig-zag side of the bobby pin until it fits to your own ear without falling off. Finally, apply a thick line of tacky/crazy glue and let the ears and bobby pins bond together. After they're dry, put 'em over your own ears and run around like ... like something that runs around a lot. XD
*and yeah, I can definitely see myself wearing these at a future concert.

I souped up my new comp book with markers and some "stickers"
cover
back
[yeah, nothing special about the back except for that hypnotic pattern.. @_@]
I might add a few more "stickers" in time, if I can think of anything [pictures and cover art would be too... obvious, ya know? XD]
*the marker I used to write my name just... didn't turn out that well T_T

That's awesome! Where did you get those stickers?

Found stuff on the net and 'repaired' all the images. I'll upload and post them later.
[the twine ball one in particular was from a photo of an old tattered bumper sticker. I just patched it up and fixed the text where it was all ripped]

No problem
I kinda wish I had a real twine ball bumper sticker, though...

Those stickers are awesome, I really love the pattern on the back of your book too.
