Hey guys! This DIY design has been pinned on my wall for around 2 months now, and today I was finally inspired to create it, not least in part after seeing Kathryn from Kitsune-kun's amazing Raccoon dress and hence also getting the idea for putting claws on my pockets! This little bear-face pinafore is my current favourite DIY creation (although basically every new DIY I do ends up taking place as my favourite, haha).

Hope you're all having a wonderful day. Right now, I'm heading off to see the Sydney Metropolitan Orchestra play songs from Dr Who and I am SO excited (River Song is going to be there, OMG) #supergeek.
But before I go, here's a super cute science item sent to me by my friend Brenton.
These awesome chemists Chanteau and Tour, in order to interest kids in Chemistry, synthesised and anthropomorphised an organic molecule and made it look like a little dancing man, dubbing it "The Nanokid".
If you saw my "science of cute" post from 2 days ago - isn't it weird that even stick abbreviations of organic molecules can look cute?? I mean, awwww! Look at that little dancing man molecule, just happily dancing away there! So cute!
If you know anything about chemistry, it's pretty interesting seeing all the steps they took to synthesize this molecule - and you can read the paper here. If you don't know much about chemistry: all the straight lines are carbon atoms in chains with hydrogen atoms coming off the sides, and the O's are oxygens annnd that still probably doesn't mean much to you but at least you can kind of pretend to know what's going on now :)

I hope in Year 12 Chem we get to learn some cute chemistry. That pinny is gorgeous. How do you have time to get all of these DIYs done with studying and whatnot to do??? I love those red boots, I reckon I've seen them on Modcloth. I suspect great for puddle-jumping :D

Well at the moment, I'm on a 4 month long holiday break (uni is awesome) so I'm not doing any studying :D (except for the hours of science podcasts I listen to everyday but that doesn't count haha). hence my blogging basically daily
DeleteThey're amazing boots :) haven't worn them in the rain yet, but they're surprisingly good for going to the beach in!
Genius!! <3

This DIY is adorable! You did a great job! I don't know which outfit I like the best... Maybe the one with the long sleeved lace top? The red rain boots are adorable with it. Both outfits are super cute though.
ReplyDeleteAww if only I knew how to make this :(
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a bear pinafore. You always have such interesting creations

This is absolutely adorable. I think adding a button nose might make it look a little more animal-like. :)
