A pack and a dork

[malytwotails.livejournal.com]

Dorky geocaching stuff, like what a cache looks like, and the pack I made to carry our GPS equiptment. For those of you unfamiliar with geocaching, you can read all about it here at the official geocaching site. It's got a great potential for being crafty, and is all sorts of a fun reason to get outside and explore.


This is the "Under a Blue Moon" cache that Soreth and I will be hiding tomorrow. Some blue feathers, jingle bells with blue pipe cleaners, blue beads, blue strings, and other blue stuff. A massive amount of blue stickers on the blue log book!


The pack I made to carry our GPS gear, using some black fabric, some blue wash fabric from my pants (in one of the pictures!) and the blue flame fabric from Ryuu's pillowcases. It's made to carry pens, candy (for munching on the trail), and trinkets for leaving in caches (like the LED lights and the green rubber shark in there now). The monitoring and tracking unit is Seiryuu's PDA, in the plush lined pocket, and the reciever is the round thing in the pocket on the strap. The button on it is blue, the flash just washed it out to make it look white.







The ultimate dork, complete with velcro letter "Geocache" shirt. Note the cameo by my kitten December! Just showing how the pack is worn, and where the GPS reciever rides while we're out.
The shirt is a plain black shirt that I ironed on a soft fuzzy patch onto, and then I attached the letters that are each a piece of velcro with a letter on it. I got the shirt lettering kit at my local Joann fabrics for $4 on clearance. I love my letter shirt, it rarely says the same thing for more than an hour or two when I'm wearing it.
