I've been busy. I swear. Too busy to make many projects, and too busy to post the few that I've worked on. So here's something I just finished today. It's for a very good friend who loves Joss Whedon's "Firefly" series. I ripped off the entire thing from a much better set I saw on Etsy. (That's not me being modest -- just honest. Her work is much neater than mine. But I probably drink more while crafting than she does.) So I made this set of 9 figures, then I went to Michael's and got one of those decorative boxes that looks like a book. Has a magnetic closure. The title of this fake book was "Live Laugh Love." Lame. I printed a new title (it's funny if you know Firefly) on some old-looking paper, sprayed it with matte finish, and used some spray adhesive to stick it over the title. It turned out pretty well!
For the inside, I used some leftover upholstery foam to create some space for the figures to friction-fit into. Then I used an old scrap of flannel and my glue gun to cover it. Much more thematic than the green upholstery foam.
I'm super excited about this because the friend is a writer (her first novel is coming out this fall). Books are what she loves. And she loves Firefly.
