April Maker Challenge #16/30 : plushHeadCrab

WHAT: i don't know if you're familiar with a game called Half-Life. in it - there are these creatures called headcrabs. i want to make a plush one.
..after doing a small bit of research - it seems they already make one. but goddamnit i want to make one anyway.

OBJECTIVE: make a headcrab. looks sort of like this:
it has to fit over my head. machine washable would be nice. i dont need the fancy posable limbs - but that might be a nice feature.

HOW: plush fabric, maybe some nice soft copper rod stock for the posable limbs, and stuffing. and it will probably require a whole lot of learning on my part, as how to make a plushtoy.

APPLICATION: it'd just be nice to have around the house. possibly used as a halloween costume (i would be a headcrab zombie - obviously). maybe my cat might find it amusing. we shall see.

April Maker Challenge #13/30 : bubbleboat

WHAT: a tiny boat. that is propelled solely by bubbles! works in lakes AND bathtubs!

OBJECTIVE: exactly as above. it shouldnt sink when it's air reservoir is emptied. make them cheap and easy enough to make a fleet.

HOW: probably a balloon would be in play somehow. it would be really nice if i could manually change the direction of propulsion using a little rudder.

APPLICATION: boats. that make bubbles. there is no useful application other than fun.
