This of for Day 10 of 30 Days of Creativity with the theme beiing 8 bit video games.  As Miu Miu had a detachable collar with birds or cats a season back and I love Pac Man, I decided to combine the two ideas to make this Pacman Glow In The Dark inspired collar and there is no sewing involved.  With the exception of the glow in the dark paint, E6000 glue and googly eyes, all items are upcycled from other garments.

Items used:

• White shirt with collar
• Paper and pen
• Cap off a soft drink bottle
• Scrap of paper
• Fabric scraps, 1 in yellow and 4 different solid colors (cotton works best)
• Heat N Bond Iron on fusing
• Iron
• Scissors
• E6000 Glue
• 9 small googly eyes.
• Glow In The Dark Fabric Paint

1.    Cut collar off of shirt just below the collar band.

2.  Use the soft drink bottle to draw two circles.  For the Pac Man draw two lines to cut out the mouth.

For the ghosts, draw a straight line down on the sides, a notch next to each side on the inside and a rounded notch in the middle.  So the would be the same on each side I folded the paper in the middle then cut out and unfolded.

3.  Draw the shapes on the HeatNBond (1 Pac Man & 4 Ghosts) then cut out.   Iron on the Pac Man to the yellow fabric and each of the Ghosts to a different color of fabric and cut out.

To iron on at the front collar, angle toward the front and pin to check how it will look; when it looks like the Pac Man is chasing the Ghost, iron on.

4.  Pin on the remaining Ghost, one at center back the other two half way in between the Pac Man and other Ghost then iron on.

5.  Glue two googly eyes on each ghost and one on Pac Man.   To finish the edges, use the glow in the dark paint and outline each of the Ghosts and the Pac Man then allow to dry.

One dry, dot three dots in between each Ghost.

Geeky Chic Einstein Inspired Necklace

This is for Day 13 of 30 Days of Creativity www.30daysofcreativity.com and today's theme is Albert Einstein and decided to make this necklace using the circuit board of an old remote and gold dimensional paint with the obvious "E=mc2" but to the side of that add the elemental symbol, number and atomic weight of Einsteinium, which is name after Albert Einstein and is and artificially produced radioactive element and the 99 of the Periodic table of elements, represented by the letters Es and an atomic weight of 252 then sprayed it with a clear coat.

The black part of the necklace is part of an old keyboard cord from a keyboard I salvaged.

To further represent the Einsteinium I made two beads out of polymer clay using a small straw to make the hole in one and made it big enough on one end for the cord and the shape of the plug on the other bead and a partial hole with a small straw on the other side then baked for 15 minutes, let cool and then painted with red spray paint.  To give it a radioactive effect I used green glow-in-the-dark fabric paint and painted over the red.

I used two headpins and twisted them then put them in the other side of the bead and secured with high strength adhesive.  I added a few jump rings on the the circuit board and then connected them to to head pins.

I used two headpins and bent them to resemble coils to attach to the ends of the circuit board.
