I was working on the 150 subscriber giveaway project, and I ran into a little setback. This incident inspired me to create this Mouse-Zilla character.
I planned an experiment with the Cheerios box panel I had painted yesterday. I tried to run that panel through my inkjet printer, but it turned out to be too thick, and my printer wouldn’t accept it. I thought I would have to abandon the concept, but then I thought of an idea. I decided to peel off a layer from the back of the cardboard to make it thinner. This actually worked, but it still almost jammed in the printer, and for a moment I thought it make break my inkjet printer! But it didn’t. It worked itself out. So it looks like I’m going to have to scrap the video I had planned for this weekend, because I don’t want to suggest a technique that could break people’s inkjet printers.
Anyway, after I printed the image, I trimmed the print to the size of the box canvas and used Elmer’s glue to glue it on.
I pressed it firmly and taped the edges to hold the panel in place. Then, I weighted it down with some paint bottles to be certain it will glue together nicely.
Tomorrow I will continue, once the glue has had the chance to dry.
we need both to thrive
freedom and shelter

Hi Art, Glad you like!

Just another challenge for you, Tim. And if you have ever had a mouse in your home and you are like me, although they are very small, they might as well be the size of your Mouse-Zilla when they are in your home … they freak me out!
Hi Bonnie, Yes, I have had a mouse in my home – it’s not fun!
Tim
Okay, the idea of a cat being chased is rather appealing to me, I must confess! However, when it comes down to it, the mouse itself is not very appealing! lol
Your project is progressing beautifully in spite of the little setback! 🙂
Hi Nancy, Thanks for the encouragement on the project, even though you don’t find the mouse appealing. LOL.
Tim
Hi Tim,
We’ve all had our “Mouse-Zilla” moments haven’t we?! It’s how we react to them that matters most. Great job finding a way to make your idea work! Have a wonderful, mouse-free day.

Hi Nicole, You’re right – it’s about the reaction!
Tim
Boy isn’t that the truth. lol Things don’t always go as planned but I guess these times can possibly turn into opportunities to learn and grow. 🙂
Hi Laurie, Yes, it’s all a learning experience. I can’t tell you how many times I thought I had a brilliant idea that turned out to be a big mess, but those messes can lead to new ways of doing things – you just learn from the mistakes and try new methods.
Tim
Isn’t that funny? Out here, we just night have some rats that are about that size. lol. TFS
Hi Diana, I know it seems like they are that size when you encounter them!
Tim
