At work I review a lot of signatures and today it just clicked.
Scribbles.
Imagine if aliens come to us and realise that instead of difficult to fake dna, or fingerprints, or retinas, we have this scribble.
This is my scribble. No one else can use it because its mine.
Not so much as Humans are Weird as Humans are Toddlers…
*my apologies, but this some ground-breaking news*
2017 Madison Scouts Uniforms!
the only millennial headline that matters
Farewell online privacy
So I got asked how I made my helmet, so I decided to make an actual separate tutorial instead of just a few progress shots!
Materials:
EVA Foam
Packing or Painter’s Tape
Tin Foil
Cardstock (optional)
Okay, so first, I took a huge sheet of tinfoil and covered my head, leaving my face out:
then I covered the foil with tape, again leaving my face clear:
I then drew the basic pattern shapes onto the tape:
(again for clarity)
After, I CAREFULLY slipped it off, and cut along the lines. I cut a slit near the top of the side piece so I would know where to dart it on the foam:
I traced these onto cardstock to smooth and even the cuts I made:
I used these the trace onto my EVA, and cut those out. I made sure to cut the edges that meet along a diagonal after I cut the pieces out so that it would bend without showing the seam:
after that I just used hot glue to attach everything together, added superglue along the seams, sanded once dry, and cut the detail piece out of thin craft foam from the pattern i already made:
Paint it to your liking, et voilà!!

This poetic prayer was inspired by the last ask I received. To be used in the event of the death of any loved one; The way I have written and intended for it to be used is so that the reciter can choose whether to recite it in full, partially, or even with just one of the stanzas - depending on specific circumstances and whatever feels most appropriate
