a little play time…

Decided to get a little play time in this week and do a little designing and creating. The file was created in SCAL. After the first cut and assembly, I opted to make a few changes to the file – And I think the time spent making the changes was worth it. I’ll still keep the version above — but I think I’ll continue to play with the newer file adaptation shown below.

Both are shelf sitters — Finished size of the body is 4.2 x 4.5 x .325 inches. I did place some “filler” in the box to make it a little sturdier. The results were worth it.

Inspired by a design found on Pinterest.

Halloween 2025

I got started early this year.  The inspiration for this make came from the Summer 2025 edition of Country Sampler.  Finding globes at the thrift store or yard sales around here is difficult to say the least — so remembering that I already had a globe file from a few years ago, decided to try to recreate the project, adding my own twist, using paper.  I think it turned out quite nicely!  And, yes, the globe can turn if you don't glue the hat to the top of the globe.
