It always puzzled me why the weight of portable machines wasn’t the first thing mentioned in any review. It tends to be in the small print even now, way down the page. This is because reviewers get hypnotized by shiny disks and glittery screens. Let them carry them around for a day, say I.
-- Terry Pratchett - A Slip Of The Keyboard: Collected Non-fiction
Every year, Danelle does a different themed garage door using only duct tape. She does this freehand, using nothing but rolls of tape.
She doesn’t use a template, projector or even scissors. She just tears off tiny strips and pieces until she gets the right shapes etc.
She warns that her garage door is powder coated with a baked on type enamel and once Halloween is over, it just peels off and doesn’t leave a residue or take the coating off.
Some people have tried this on painted and other finish doors and have ruined them.
She scores the sections of the door with a knife so that it still opens and doesn’t rip the design.
She’s been doing this for approximately 10 years now.
3 years ago she entered a nationwide contest sponsored by Duck Tape brand and won the grand prize for most creative use of duct tape.
This year she’s doing the werewolf and ran out of tape. Still has some work on the trees, a couple of tombstones on the left and a few random bats to go. She’s used 5 rolls so far and probably 1 or 2 rolls are still needed.
Took a year to complete this quilt! Pattern is by NASA Astronaut Karen Nyberg called Cupola View. Fabrics used were also designed by Karen, the collection is called Earth Views.
