It almost looks like I'm trying to be Google's homepage!!

Who am I kidding? Google's doodles are far superior to mind :)

I had a hard time figuring out Thanksgiving things that could be shaped into G's and L's.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it!!

High Five Turkey

Whoever thought of using a hand print to create a turkey was a genius! 

Birthday Pipette Surprise!

Here's a birthday card for a science-lover. The first two are standard pipette tips, but then some wacky things get attached to the end of the pipette. You can still see the marks made by the drying glue. I needed to press the card for a longer period of time before taking pictures, but I couldn't resist. I also had to give it to the recipient, haha. 

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Soooo I haven't been keeping up with this blog. AT ALL. Oops. I think after Thanksgiving I got too lazy to make cards but was busy with other stuff. Well, it's a new year and I'd like to make a fresh start! I will slowly start building momentum again. 

Isn't this shirt amazing? It's the Element of Surprise! har har.

Need to spice up the interior of your office? Look no further than wrapping paper! 

This is what we did on New Year's Eve Eve.

Wrapping paper party hats! 

Thanks for reading! I hope to update more frequently! I especially need to start up the Friday's Thank You Notes segment! Here's to a great year!

A lawful, scientific birthday

Another variation...

I really need to find a different way to wish people a happy birthday.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Friday's Thank You Notes #15 (9/16/11)

l make a list of serious and silly thank you's (a la Late Night) and post a picture of a handmade thank you card every Friday. Have a happy Friday and a fantastic weekend!!!

THANK YOU...

-fine print. I should have skimmed over you, but my lazy butt did not and now you're giving me a big "I told you so."

-breakfast for dinner. Sometimes you have to stimulate your brain with different things.

-pizza. Piping hot or as cold leftovers. Both are delicious in my book!

-people who hold the door open for me even when I'm thirty feet away, for making me run to you. Well, I guess I do that too. Never mind.

-doors that push even though the handle is clearly for pulling.

-for reading this. Have a great weekend.

a simple Facebook card

I could create different variations of this.
examples)
-I like pasta.
-I like us.
-I like to paint.
-I like Velociraptors.

Polymerase Chain Reaction

Okay, this card is an uber nerdy card.

Front of the card
It looks like the screen of a Veriti, a PCR machine manufactured by ABI.
The screen usually shows the temperatures and times of each PCR cycle.
This "screen" shows an average work day.

The inside of the card.
A 96-well plate (or a 384-well plate) gets placed inside of a
Veriti, so I created a 96-well plate with the word "HI"
filled in.

It's a pop-up card!

Here is what the actual machine looks like.  
It's a very good machine in case you were thinking of purchasing one  :)

More need for dorky and nerdy cards.

Here is what my previous lab looked like except the picture of a frog was on the door and the giant blue water bath machine didn't look nearly as ancient.

I need more ideas for dorky, nerdy cards. Hmm.

Another variation...

The Big Bang Theory

I met Jim Parsons who plays Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory because he is in the Broadway revival of The Normal Heart. I made him a corny Bazinga card and he accepted it!! He is so sweet and so talented =)

Friday's Thank You Notes #2 (5/13/11)

Jimmy Fallon has a segment on his Late Night show called Thank You Notes every Friday. He, along with his writers, thank people/objects on a weekly basis. Pretty witty stuff. 


I've been doing attempting something similar since last week. Every Friday I'll make a list of silly and serious thank you's while also posting a homemade thank you card. Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend!!

A nerdy thank you card.
A million thanks!
I know the bananas seem out of place, but they're spelling out a "K" and K=potassium. har har 

THANK YOU,

-earphones, for giving me the chance to look like I'm listening to music when I'm not so I can eavesdrop on surrounding conversations.


-science and technology, for succeeding in the first full face transplant in the U.S. Two months later, Dallas Wiens can now smell!

-hand sanitizer, for only removing 99.9% of germs. If I get sick, I know who deserves a death glare. Achoo.


-the kitchen sink. I just wanted to express my gratitude because everyone seems to be forgetting you.


-Duane Reade, for selling this tissue box. It's 75% tree-free AND it has designs. Thanks for making the act of blowing my nose that much more hip.

-train of thought...Oh wait, where'd you go?

-for reading this. You rock.

Fonts

In middle school there was a girl that I'll call J. She told me that I would grow up to make my own font and she was kind of right because I do like the alphabet. She was also the one who said I looked like a Siamese cat and I was slightly very hurt. She thought she looked like a sea otter. Psh, she did not was not cute enough.

Someone blinded me with science
