Robomobile

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Russell Wilcox

Home: California, United States

Robomobile looks like a giant version of 1960s-era tin toy robots, with a person inside pedaling an adult trike. It has lights, and can go anywhere and talk to anyone. Despite being boxy and simple, it looks friendly and kids delight in it. Everyone asks 'are you a real robot?' to which I answer yes. I built it out of steel and aluminum, foamcore and plywood, a licence plate holder and trailer lights. It's a hit at Halloween parties.

Faire: Pensacola

Blackwater Forge LLC isn't just about selling products; it's about enhancing the gaming experience. It's understood that tabletop gaming isn't just a game – it's a journey, an adventure, and an escape.

Make composite structures with low VOC materials

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Robert van de Walle

Home: California, United States

Composite structures are ubiquitous and typically require a significant investment before fabrication can begin. I demonstrate how to use foam, glue, kraft paper, and window screen (and other low VOC materials) to duplicate much of the formability and durability of fiberglass. Perfect for fabricating small boats, bike fairings, large art installations, giant robot puppets, teardrop trailers, and theater props, this technology is very well suited for school and community groups. I will teach good techniques for cutting foam, laying up skins, and designing the structure to be durable.

These pieces are all wild, extravagant miss velvet cream creations, all upcycled- cut, stitched, ruffled, flounced, ripped, tied, layered, embellished, stretched, and stitched again. These outfits are all sustainable fashion, handmade, and infused with meaning and value from the simplest TShirts. Let's dream together what we could wear in the future, today!

Heat Transfer Vinyl T-Shirts Without a Craft Cutter

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Maker Block

Home: California, United States

I've had a lot of ideas for t-shirts that would have been perfect for HTV (heat transfer vinyl) but I don't have a craft cutter. Once I realized I could use a regular craft knife, I had a lot of fun making a variety of t-shirts for myself and my family. For a kid's birthday we made matching themed t-shirts for everyone for way less than it would cost to buy or have one made. It would be a fun and inexpensive way to update an old piece of clothing or add some neat personalization.
