Anyone who follows my twitter account no doubt knows that there's a
bevy of excellent podcasts that I listen to while I'm working away at
the workbench. Among them is Cara Santa Maria's Talk Nerdy podcast
which is pretty much what it sounds like. Every Monday morning she
releases an hourish long chat/interview with another science-y person
usually around their science-y specialty or some social issues (or
both). These science-y persons come from all over the place so there's a
pretty wide ranging diversity of topics, perspectives, and
representations which is something I've had a hard time finding in other
podcasts. In any case, it's good stuff. And also Nerd Corps.
As
it happens, Ms. Maria is a fellow transplanted Texan and that might be
why I felt I needed to make her a name belt of her very own. I've
listened to her podcasts long enough to have some ideas on what sorts of
things should go on just such a belt, but as it turns out "CARA SANTA
MARIA" in 1" tall letters doesn't leave a whole lot of room for
tooling. As I studied photos on the internet to try and get a guess at
the size of the belt I reckoned some pyramid studs would probably match
her aesthetic better anyway.
Being a cool person, Ms.
Maria has a wee pup (no doubt suitability) named "Killer" and I didn't
want to leave the little guy out. Especially since I found a couple of
teeny tiny conchos that looked like they'd match his little skull and
crossbones tag he seems to have in any of the pictures I could find.
Though if trying derive a woman's belt size from a few pictures was
challenging, I'm not really sure if it's at all practical to guess at a
dog's collar size. I have a suspicion it came out too large to make a
serviceable collar but I guess I'll have to wait to find out. If Canada
Post's ETA is accurate then Ms. Maria and Killer should be getting
their package about the time this goes live on the blog.
