Farmall F-20 Tractor Painting

So for Christmas this year my dad requested a painting of his Farmall F-20 tractor, which is his favorite. I painted it in two days, using reference photos of the area around our house and the tractor. In the background is our ye olde road grader. Acrylic on canvas.

Tribbles at Christmastime

So we opened Christmas presents early this year. My sister's a big Trekkie, so I decided to make her a bunch of tribbles. Using patterns I found online, I made eight furry tribbles of different sizes. 

Then I had this awesome idea. I stuck one tribble in a shoebox with a tupperware full of rice. I then cut a slice in the container and scattered some rice around. 

Then I wrote this letter (click for larger picture):

 and stuck it on the top.

Then after she'd opened it up, I waited until she was looking the other way and dropped a second tribble next to the first. Over the next hour I added a tribble or two whenever she was distracted, so that they seemed to multiply! She thought it was great and laughed her head off!
