Hi all!  Well, I've been having way too much fun 
lately.  I couple of weeks ago at a party I won a 
gift certificate for the mall, so last week I 
went shopping.  While I was at Toys R Us I found 
something I thought would be cool, but they 
wouldn't let me use the gift certificates there 
(apparently I could use them at any store EXCEPT 
TRU, Sports Authority, and the food court), so I 
wandered around for a while.  Just when I had 
almost given up hope of finding the same thing at 
any other store, I wandered into a arts and 
crafts store, and found the same things (albeit a 
different brand!).  I bought them, and now I'm 
having a blast.  The things I bought are 
these "stained glass pens".  



The ones at TRU were Crayola brand, so you can 
probably buy them in the US and other countries. 
Anyway, I thought - how cool would it be to make 
little stained glass window things from some of 
my cels?  So, I used the douga as a template and 
tried it!  For my first one I used a cel of 
Sarutobi from Ryu Knight - mainly because he 
doesn't have much skin showing, and the set 
didn't come with anything that would have been 
easy to use for skin-tone.  I also had to mix up 
my own pink and gray, but it came out a lot 
better than I expected.  It's hanging on my 
window right now!  First, here's the original cel:



And here's the result!



For the next one, I'm trying to make a Shimarisu 
squirrel from Bonobono - I think it'll come out 
really cute.  So far I've only done the 
outlines.  I have to wait a couple of hours for 
it to dry a bit before i can add the other 
colors, then wait another 8 hours for it to dry 
completely before I can peel it off the plastic.  



Here's the original cel it's based from:



Anyway, just thought I'd share and give people an 
idea of something fun you could do!
