    I chimped out my backpack

    I found this while at the pharmacy way back in August 2009. I have always thought it looked very chimplike. So, in preparation for Wondercon, I have decided to chimpify it so that I can carry it with pride.





    This is the tool I used to burnish it. It's actually a real porcupine quill that I bought at a Kenyan outdoor market to use as a hairpin, but it's pretty sharp and I am afraid of accidentally poking the kids, so I've been using it for sculpting and other things.


    Tadah! Perfect for chimps like me.

    1:9 scale ape's new suit for Cornelius;

                  That's neat. It'll be fun to see who notices.

                        That's great! Jess always hates carrying backpacks when we go to these things, b/c she doesn't want it to clash w/ her character. This is the perfect solution! WTG, Jess!

                          From Joanne fabrics. They don't make it anymore, but I can send you some if you want. I have a light brown one too.

                          I'm still putzing along with Dylan's outfit. I have SOOOOO much work to do!!!!!

                            That is really neat. Very simple, but totally changes the backpack.
                            It's all good!
