My iPhone case fits!

I received this in the mail from my 3D printing place last week right after my family vacation and am very happy it's the correct dimensions. In the next week or two I'll dye the case purple, my favorite color, then test out a new varnish so it can have added durability.

At the moment I'm making a base model on my computer that has all the openings in the correct place (since I now have the psyical model I can see that a few openings are like a half mm off, also there are some areas where the case is too thick and a couple sharpish edges). Once the base model is done I'll start on prototype 2, with just swirls and kitty upon request  :)

I keep forgetting when I post things on facebook it only forwards them to Twitter and not Blogger

Here are a couple Steampunk inspirations I'm working on. The necklace should be coming in the mail next week while I'm on vacation. Not a bad thing to come home to packages.

After dying this one black I totally think I should get the necklaces and earrings made in the same material, it brings out the swarovski crystal so well. I think I'll try doing more bracelets along these lines, except with more sparkle.

This is the pendant I'm waiting for in the mail. I'm thinking either red or clear crystals, hmmm.

iPhone case, take 1

Soo,  iPhone 4 case completed, just have to wait a couple weeks to see if it fits correctly and snaps together correctly.  *fingers crossed*. Seeing as I'm among the masses still waiting to get their iPhones I'll hopefully have one by the time I get the printed case in the mail. I think I'm going to dye it dark purple.

As for Steampunk stuff, I should be getting the nylon braclet in the mail this week and probably the stainless steel pieces next week some time, hopefully before my family trip.
