JoshPrime Makes Stuff

Ok reader, It has been over a year of blogging once a week. I was thinking back on what I was writing about last Thanksgiving. I had made some absurd cheese ball creation. This year, I am not in the holiday spirit. I mean, I love the holiday that's not what I mean. What I mean is that I don't have a Thanksgiving related project today. Maybe I will pick it up late like my Halloween costume. I don't really see the need to celebrate holidays on the day that they happen. Why not put up a Christmas tree in June? Really though? Is it any less weird to have serious fire hazard in the shape of a tree in your house in December? Does turkey taste less good in March? I have tried it and let me tell you, turkey is always delicious. Celebrate your holidays when you damn well feel like it. I am gonna start putting up Halloween decorations tomorrow and just see what the neighborhood thinks. It worked for the Adams family. Anyway, this week I have something little. I was just trying t...

Ok Reader, I gave you a short break from my constant wall talk. Now we are back at it full force. Here is the situation: Wall smoothing has been an insane amount of work. All that talk of rue-ing aside, I have enjoyed it for the most part. However, the epic tale of wall smoothing is about to take a turn. It finally appeared as if the wall smoothing was done and I started thinking paint colors. Since this room is designed to look like its night, I wanted a dark blue. It isn't a huge room, so I had to think about not making it too cave-like. I happen to like caves myself, but that is a whole separate conversation. I settled on a pretty bright blue color. My thought was this: if the color is really bright, that will compensate for it being a room that rarely has the lights on (since its for movies of course). I bought a tester of paint. I have some questions for the painters among us. There are whole aisles in the home improvement stores of paint. I went wandering down their to ...

Hey Reader, After making a non-functioning mouth out of paper, I decided to try something a little more challenging. How creepy would it be to have a functioning mouth made of paper? What would a paper mouth eat? It would have to be soft things since that mouth had no teeth. I suppose if I was making a functioning mouth, it would have to have teeth, but chewing would be tough since the teeth would probably be made of paper. I would think that soft things would make the most sense, but liquid and paper mouths probably aren't a good mix either. Think of the paper cuts when making out. Especially since that last mouth had a tongue like that scene in the Mask. I am not going to make this hypothetical any less disturbing with this next project. We really are a far cry from cranes and fortune tellers at this point. Turns out that this project is actually using two different pornigami patterns. The pants are one pattern. Meanwhile the paper protuberance coming out of them are actual...

Hey Reader, Welcome back to Halloween costume making with me, JoshPrime. If you recall, I am going as Red Guy from the viral YouTube video series, Don't Hug Me I'm Scared . Did you know there new episodes are coming? Check out the trailer titled " Wakey Wakey ." In case you have forgotten, when we last checked in on this project, their was yarn everywhere.  The next step is usually taping the hair to itself in wefts, and then running the tape through the sewing machine to finish up and seal the hair wefts. I did this most recently with the Arin puppet . There is so much more hair this time, and I didn't have as wide of a workspace, so the taping was going to have to come after I freed it from the clipboard. Typically, you want to do the taping before cutting the hair because it is so much easier to work with as a unit rather than strand by strand. I still managed ok, and if I had a wider clipboard where I could spread the hair out, I would still have do...
