I’ve just seen a Book lookylikey (a bookylikey) – Terry Pratchett’s Night Watch cover (by Paul Kidby) is exactly like Rembrandt’s painting! I don’t know who this Rembrandt guy is, but he sure ripped-off Pratchett…
I would never have thought of relating The Princess Bride with The Munsters, until last night.
That was when I recognised Miracle Max as an aged Grandpa Munster.
So this clearly means – judging by the photographic evidence below – that Billy Crystal, who played both these characters, must be about 111 years old! Amazing! The proof is in the pudding.
Nunca habrÃa pensado en relacionar La Princesa Prometida con Los Monster, hasta anoche.
Fue entonces cuando reconocà a Max como el abuelo Monster.
Asà que claramente esto significa – juzgando la siguiente prueba fotográfica – que Billy Crystal, que interpretaba ambos personajes, ¡debe tener unos 111 años! ¡Impresionante! La prueba está en el puding.
Yey! I’ve done another pair of shoes. This time a special someone asked me if I’d paint them a pair, they gave me the shoes and after doing a couple designs they chose the one they liked best.
Here’s a quick look at what was done and how. Huzzah!
First catch your shoes. You’ll find them grazing in high street shops in matching pairs. Approach slowly and with caution. Mind you don’t damage them as you wrestle them to the ground.
Here are the two fine young specimens I used.
Once I had a basic idea of what was wanted I drew the pattern to be painted to the actual size. Here’s a picture of the two designs that I prepared.
I used a white pencil so the lines would show nicely when I traced the pattern onto the shoes.
I then painted them with the fabric paints that Joe! and the Tall One bought me.
Ironed them and Finito!
(Notice how I just flung the ironing thing in there? Like it’s not all that complicated? Iron a shoe? No worries! They taught me in Girl Guides…)
As for who the shoes are for, well I’m not going to mention any names, but…
