End cap for a Bionicles toy, GI Joe 25th anniversary stand, random rocks, sand, twigs, moss, leaves and glue
I rarely enter contests because the ones that interest me usually happen when I just don't have time. I managed to make time for this one for a recent Good to Go Quarterly Challenge. This project is really a testimony to the awesomeness of the "I should keep that because I'll never know when I can use it" philosophy. I'd saved the end cap for a Bionicles toy my son bought for just that reason. For the challenge I just wanted to do a basic stand for taking pictures of my figures, and the end cap made a great frame for it. I spent a couple of hours in my yard picking out a bunch of stuff to incorporate. I knew I wanted water in it somehow and it took a while to figure out where to put it in the stand. The water is Elmer's blue glue gel and the wet look on the rocks was accidentally discovered with superglue.
