I'm not sure what IS strange for me! Possibly the giant papier mache seeds for a show garden. Or the many costumes I made for Ratvaark and his friends.

Myself and @davetansley once spent way too much time printing and painting very tiny human skulls. They were for legitimate dice making purposes, but they were all over the house for a while there, it was pretty weird.

@MakersHour i think that would be the double face camera, showing me to expose both sides of the film. Didn't work very well, but looked pleasantly monstrous.

Oh blimey!
That would have given me the creeps a little, and a lot if I found one much later on!They look brilliant, though.

@MakersHour #MakersHour A1: I'm gonna say that time I learned to draw by sketching one Pokemon a day until I ran out (I think after Sun/Moon, so just over a thousand days).
I started on a whim because I was bored and lonely and had been watching a lot of Bob Ross, and since then I haven't done much drawing because holding a pencil cramps my hand up.

Excellent!You could do one with the camera in the eye piece, via a semi tranparent mirror.
36 photos of an eyeball! -

@thegiddystitcher @MakersHour @davetansley they look like puffed wheat. Now i want smacks.

@MakersHour A1. Strangest make? Maybe a recent utilitarian patch, bright pink "duck tape" wrapped round the little fin antenna on our otherwise unremarkable electric hatchback sedan, to find it in parking lots among others of its style.
Otherwise most of my creations are theme and variations on needlework, appliqué, piecing, and digital collage.

@thegiddystitcher @MakersHour @davetansley these would be an amazing way to cover the soil of pot plants

It is the sort of thing I should do at some point to exercise my drawing hand. -

Sometimes you need that marker in a big carpark, when so many cars can look similar. -
@MakersHour haha, creepy!

And no one would need know until afterwards! -

A1: this is a difficult one. The first thing that comes to mind was I had to make two clear backpacks that could be taken to a protest a day away. Everything we would need had to be in there, and it had to be clear to be or it would be taken away. Found some marine vinyl that was not too hard to sew and whipped them up in about four hours.
Oh, also a lot of weird props for shows like giant teapots and mushrooms, large cheese slices.

@MakersHour As a teacher, I once was about to do the the magnet-and-iron-dust-on-paper experiment with my class, but discovered too late that we didn't have a magnet! What we did have, though, was a copper coil, some rusty nails, and a battery. I put the nails inside the coil, connected the battery and got the nails *just* magnetised enough to do the experiment and show the magnetic patterns. I made a magnet.

Excellent - a double lesson - what magnets do, and how they are made!

@afewbugs This sounds like the perfect gift idea for my skull-liking, plant-growing housemate; they'd love little skulls for this purpose. We already have all kinds of little random things in the plant pots...

@eivind
That is a very good way around it, and shows other electromagnetic principles at the same time.I noticed and photographed this in my workshop a while ago, while I was welding.
