WALL·E Papercraft Robot
Designer Gary Pilsworth has released a WALL·E papercraft based on Pixar's new animated film coming out June 2008. WALL·E is short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth Class.
The year is 2700 and mankind has left Earth. After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL·E the robot, discovers a new purpose in life when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. She realizes that WALL·E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans. Meanwhile, WALL·E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets an adventure into motion.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Pharaoh Atem / Yami no Yugi
The nameless pharaoh’s spirit who resides in Mutou Yugi’s body, Atem, more commonly known as “Yami no Yugi” or “Yami” for short, often appears in Yugi’s Duel Monsters battles, either to help him, or to completely take on the battle.
In ancient times, the young pharaoh sealed the dark magic of the Shadow Games with his own name and soul into the Millennium Puzzle. Yugi’s grandfather found this artifact and Yugi took eight years before he finally solved the puzzle, unlocking the Shadow Games, and Pharaoh Atem’s soul. The pharaoh resides in Yugi’s body, somewhat similar to the reincarnation of Egyptian Priest Seto as Kaiba.
Interesting hair. I wonder how much hair cement was used on that wig? It can’t be the cosplayer’s real hair, can it?

Mario Bros.: Mario and Luigi
I found a very cute picture of Mario and Luigi from Idle Chit-Chat. I would guess they’re holding pumpkins because it’s Halloween?
Mario and Luigi are both plumbers and siblings. They exterminate the pests that come out of the pipes in different worlds/levels.
Aren’t they cute?

Mecha Papercraft - Shigu
Not as detailed or as polished as the Front Mission Chokipeta version, this simplified mecha papercraft has a unique feature that I've only seen two or three times before in other paper models - it's got bones. By bones, I mean its got articulation points/hinges that enables it to move its arms and legs. You might recognize the look of the papercraft, it was based on the Zenith mecha from Front Mission 4. Grab the pattern from the link below.

I only have my genes to blame for this making addiction of mine.
It comes from a childhood of watching Grandma and Mum knit, sew and bake (my dollies were always so well-dressed!). I remember always having my own little projects on the go to mirror whatever the grown-ups were doing.
I come from line women who were always doing something. My hands are always doing, and so is my mind – there are so many yet-to-be-realized creations in there, that I will have to live three lifetimes in order to fulfill them all!
I am inspired by paper ephemera (postage, tickets, old magazines and books...), vintage designs, memories, thriftiness and simplicity. I have always been fascinated with ephemera: collecting ‘rubbish’ to the shock of school friends, hoarding tickets and gathering old treasures. Using these things in my work, as well as vintage and rescued fabrics and buttons, I love imaging the past and trying to recreate some sense of nostalgia in the things I make. Although the things I make are quite varied – bibs, books, brooches, they all have this ‘looking back’ quality to them.
With my making addiction, the things that warm my heart the most are making books and bringing together different materials (whether they be fabric, paper or buttons) to make a wonderful new ‘whole’.
My etsy shop has been a brilliant force – fuelling my addiction and my creativity! Like the women in my family before me, I hope to pass this desire and compulsion to make things on to my own children and perpetuate this wonderful making addiction!
Stop by my etsy shop to see the fruits of my making:

At the end you will join in to chat with them, ask questions, and they will answer."

Final Fantasy XII: Fran
A powerful Viera warrior who specializes in long range attacks using her bow and arrows, Fran handles the maintenance of Balthier’s airship, the Strahl. She is the wisest among the cast, a fitting role being her life span is much longer than the rest. She is the eldest of the group, despite her youthful appearance.
I’ve heard that I’ve been showing too many Asian cosplayers again, a pretty common critique now a days. I guess it’s a lot easier to find Asian cosplayers than Western ones. Admittedly, I am a fan of Asian cosplayers, but I also feature non-Asian ones like this when they catch my attention.
I apologize if my blog seems biased to some, if not most. It’s really not my intention.

Marbles problem to solve
204 marbles are divided into 3 groups according to colour. Ahmad found that there are twice as many blue marbles as white marbles and there are fewer red marbles than blue marbles. Ben found that the number of marbles in each group are divisible by 4 and 6. Cally found that the number of marbles in each group is less than 100.
How many red marbles are there?
(I do not have a clue where the problem originates, but I DO LIKE it!)
Solution:
Now, we need to find three numbers.
The one hint tells us that one number is double the other, and the third is less than the first (the doubled one). This won't yet get us started.
It is actually the latter hints that provide a starting point.
We learn the numbers are divisible by 4. They're also divisible by 6, which means they're divisible by 2 and 3. But we already knew they're divisible by 2 (since thye were divisible by 4), so the new information in this hint really is that the numbers are divisible by 3.
Divisible by 4 AND divisible by 3 means.... DIVISIBLE by 12!
Also all numbers are less than 100.
This really now restricts our "search space". We're looking at multiples of 12 that are less than 100.
Now, one was double the other. Since the 8th multiple of 12 (96) is the largest we can use, then two of the numbers COULD be the 4th and 8th multiples of 12 (48 and 96). They could also be the 3rd and 6th multiples of 12 (36 and 72).
The first hints will now "lock in" the solution... the sum has to be 204, which is 17 x 12. So, choosing 4 x 12, 8 x 12, and 5 x 12 - or 48, 96, and 60 - as our numbers will work. And, there are therefore 60 red marbles.

Yu Yu Hakusho: Youko Kurama 03
I don’t know about you guys, but this image? I feel like I’m looking at the young version of Youko. Somewhere along the lines of, I don’t know, only a few years old? Long before he was known as “The Thief King”.
Also of note, the cosplayer is obviously female, don’t you think? A very cute one too. Probably the best looking Youko compared to this one with Hiei and the most recent one some people probably still remember.
I really love the hair and the ears on this cosplay though. The ears look so soft. Great job!
