"Oooh, Artsy!" (I Make Stuff)

Howdy-hey, guys & gals. I just uploaded these photos to Facebook, and it occurred to me that some of you may think these are pretty cool.

I handmake "cards" for my parents. The definition of "cards" is often very lose. They're made out of construction paper and tape, and whatever other things I can find.

Here's the one I finished last night. It's a Father's Day card, a replica of our garage.





I spent a while fretting over how to make a car. I ended up being pretty abstract.



That is supposed to be a truck.



Racing flags, some cans of stuff on a shelf, and brooms.



A gas pump, with a little slot for the nozzle to go back into.



I even included tomato plants, that are on the side of our garage. Do these not look like tomato plants? I don't know what tomato plants look like.

My dad loved it. I think. Maybe he was just confused. Anyways, I'll post some of the other stuff I've made, eventually. It's a cool father's day gift, in any case.

Very creative and artsy-crafty! Well done! :D I think my favorite part of it is that it's a creative interpretation of your garage. Very neat!

Thanks! It makes a terrible mess of the floor when I do these. I try laying a blanket down, but the little snippets and paper bits seem to just neatly bypass it all together.
