Let's Craft Something!

Sorry, guys, but I don't have anything really to show you.  I know what you're thinking... "She got distracted by Skyrim that much again?!"  No, I promise it's a much more legitimate reason than that.  My cat seems to have developed a UTI; I noticed frequent bathroom -- well, litterbox -- trips Sunday night and didn't think anything of it.  Instead of sleeping with me like he normally does, he slept by my bathroom, near his litterbox.  His frequent trips continued on Monday, and I checked because normally, his pee clumps are pretty big.  There was hardly anything.  I did some quick research online because it was a holiday and my vet was obviously off.  I discovered it was probably a UTI and gave him canned food instead to make sure he was getting water.  Anyway, I took him to the vet Tuesday morning and they gave him a shot and some antibiodics for me to continue with.  I'm having to keep a close eye on him to make sure there are no changes.  I'm also pretty paranoid when it comes to my little baby, so I've been pretty distracted.

However, when I went to get cat food, I grabbed a two liter to keep by my desk for when I game.  I also had two one liter bottles sitting around because I'm lazy and hadn't taken them out yet.  I had toyed with the idea of steampunk jetpack before when I was planning a steampunk Rainbow Dash cosplay, but never quite got around to making it.

This is the one that I thought about basing my Rainbow Dash jetpack on.

Even though I'm short -- about 5'2" -- I thought the one liter bottles looked a little too small.  I mean, the practicality of it just won out in the end; there is no way that a tiny little jetpack like that could possibly lift me unless I was like 90 lbs.  Two two liter bottles seems pretty bulky and might get in the way... Anyway, I thought about combining the three bottles to make a more believable jetpack.

I could always go for something a little more ambitious and realistic.  But I have no job and I don't want to drop a lot of money on something like a costuming prop.  Not to mention i have nowhere to put it!

So there is my conceptual WIP.  If you have and ideas to add, sketches, or reference images for me, feel free to link them!  I'd be more than happy to check them out.  I've also gotten the links page working a little better already.  (Remember, I said this website would be a bit of a WIP for a while, too?)  Sorry this post didn't have something a little more tangible; as I said, I'm worried about my little Booger and getting him feeling better.
