So, after making basket-weave phoenixes out of ribbon for last new year's, I thought it might be fun to make them out of the thin foam I have sitting in the office.



They're super cute and squishy. And resilient. Plus, the colors of foam I have are red, white, green, yellow, pink, orange, and blue. The combinations have the potential to be either neat or horrifically tacky. I'm not sure what to do with them, exactly - they could be fun accessories or some such.

It's relaxing for me to do little things like these. I've been stressed with the job hunt (though I did get two more apps out yesterday) plus the events of last night, and needed to do something rather pointless to clear my head.

Maybe I'll play Wii for a while. Shoot zombies, that kind of thing.

EDIT: The measurements are:
5" wingspan
4" beaktip to end of body
6" tail curls

If anyone wants one, comment on what colors you want and (if you need it shipped) give me a few bucks for a box and shipping. I have no idea what they cost to ship, so... $5 sound like it'll cover it? I don't think it'd be more than that.

If you don't mind paying for the box and shipping, sure. =)

I'm a little light on funds this month already, so I'm going to have to hold off for now. (yes I know its only $5).

Maybe some other time.

Well, if you'll either be up in the area or know someone who's coming down to yours, I can just hand it off that way.

They're cute. How big are they?

hee! Cuteness!

How big are they? A tiny one of those (like 2-3 inches) would be neat latched onto a shirt pin or something. Bigger ones would be especially nice if with a painting of a bright cloudy sky or something, with two or three of these pinned or sewn onto the canvas so it looks like they're flying in it (sure they'd stick out, but they don't look that thick, so it'd prolly work. Plus sticking out'd be the point. I bet it'd look awesome.)

Those are wicked awesome.

I'd like a green and blue one. No need to ship it- I'm sure I'll run into you at some point. ;-)

I would like a blue and green one as well - do you have PayPal? I can send you the bucks next month.

Hmm. Doggedly cute. About the size of a spread hand.

Make a mobile out of them?
Fit the nose with a hook, and add a slingshot? (How well do they fling...)
Make a variegated flock and put in a shadowbox on the wall?
Hang in window a la dreamcatchers?
Attack to fishing line and poles, for instant cat toy?
Hang from a tree for easter (What? Phoenixes are a symbol of riding from the grave just like.. well, you get it. Better than Bunnies....)

Those are so cute! I would utterly love one! Green and white or orange and yellow sound good to me.
