3D Fun - Part 2

 Hi,  - So today is Part 2 of the 3D items that my brother brought me recently.  This all started so innocently with this photo that I posted on FB.

Little did I know.... Next these arrived:

And now the most recent editions:

The tiny ones are called, Perfume bottle snails.  They aren't actual perfume bottles.

                                      Gnome Riding Snail

                      I'm calling this one the Warrior Snail.

                                       Snail with a House

                                          Gnome Snail

                                               Into Battle

So what do you all think of my little Snail Collection. - I need to be careful about what amuses me!

3D Fun

 Hi,  Today's post features some fun 3D Printer Art that my wonderful brother, Roger made.

He was up for a brief visit last week and brought along some gifts he made for me.

Today's pieces are (Cat) related.  You'll have to come back tomorrow to see the rest of what he brought!

                         Look at this "Chonky" cat dude! 

                Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil, See No Evil.

This little beauty is so adorable.  Love that you can insert a T-light (not the type with an actual flame) 

                                              The Thinker

   Regal Maine Coon - Look at the detail and texture this one has.

Love this little guy.  I think it looks "Steampunk" but my granddaughter thought it looked more, "Star Wars" like.  What do you think?

Dizzy

Medieval 

                           Exotic - This has a hologram effect.

Last but not least:

                                      It's,  Snail Cat!

                    Possible hint about tomorrows post.        

He searches for designs (does not design these himself) but puts them into his printer and choses colors etc...then prints them out.  

               I love them but am running out of room!          

The Tradition Continues - First Day of Kindergarten

 Welcome. - Today Joelle (aka Jojo) started Kindergarten!  It's been my tradition to get School Pictures and these are the 2 best ones that I got of Jojo this morning before she headed off to school.

She also got a little gift from Grandma and Papa this morning which included a card:

Here's the fun part.  I made a card 16 years ago for her older sister's first day of Kindergarten:

It was fun to make Jojo a card similar yet different.

Also here is a side-by-side of the 2 Sister's on their first Day of Kindergarten:

Balloon Stampede 2026 - Post #2 (Part 1)

 Hello,  I'm back again with another post from the 2026 Balloon Stampede.

Shots of getting ready to inflate and the crowd.

Many colorful patterns

That's it for this post but there will be more to come....Enjoy.
