I'm not going to sugar coat it, there are things about this project that are a pain in the rump... but the end result is super duper cool. I mean, who doesn't need flying zeppelin boat sky vessel? I came up with this project a fair long while ago after watching Stardust a million times. Sky pirates? Heck yeah! How could I resist the inspiration? I've updated the project by adding some chipboard elements from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts. They add amazing detailing without adding bulk or weight. I've used pieces from the Gears Shape Set along with Propellers, painting these elements a sort of coppery gold for a metallic effect. But it's the addition of the chipboard Hinges that I think really add something to my sky vessel. They help to give the impression that this zeppelin is way more ornate with their addition. Finally, I've added some bits from the Keys & Plates Shape Set. I'm sure my sky pirates feel rather posh with all those additional bits and bobs! If you'd like to try making your own paper zeppelin, I've created a video walk through HERE. I highly recommend doing a dry run of the balloon and boat elements before cutting into your 'good paper'. There IS a learning curve to fitting the bits together and this is NOT a beginner project. But! If you're feeling adventurous and looking to make something really nifty, here are all the supplies you'll need: Gears Shape Set Propellers Hinges Keys & Plates Shape Set Balloon and Boat Template (below) 12" scrapbook paper (I've used papers from Graphic 45's Master Detective Colletion for the sample) Brass Brads Thin doweling or wooden skewars Acrylic Paint Ribbon White glue Hot glue

Are there things, objects, that you can't help but feel drawn to? I love old clocks, wooden crates, books. I've also always wanted a stereoscope. I've wanted to make my own for a while and finally got around to looking into how to make one. Graphic 45's Olde Curiosity Shoppe—Deluxe Collector's Edition seemed the perfect paper choice! And I'm so pleased with myself because the stereoscope works like a charm! Most of what I read suggested 3x lenses. I tried a few different magnifications and ended up using a pair of 4x's magnification reading glasses. Maybe it's because my eyes are a little weak that they worked better for me? Not sure, but I popped the lenses out of the frames, and simply glued them in place inside the viewer. Perfecto! I didn't add many embellishments to this piece. I wanted to keep it looking like a usable object rather than a decorative item. There's a restrained trim, a couple of Antique Brass Stamped Metal Brads. But how perfect is that graphic from the Optical Oddities page of Olde Curiosity Shoppe? Those stereocards? A vintage story of love told in a series of public domain images from a museum collection. Because I think everyone should be as excited about stereoscopes as I am, I've put together a big fat tutorial for this project with three parts. The pattern The cards The video tutorial Here are all the other bits you'll need to create this project: Antique Brass Stamped Metal Brads Olde Curiosity Shoppe—Deluxe Collector's Edition Clearsnap Decades Dye Pad Dark Cashmere Cheap reading glasses 3x's (I used 4x) Thick card White Glue Glue Stick Scissors Thats it! Just a handful of things to make a really neat something :) Now all I have to do is figure out how to make my own stereoview images...
