180: Tilde

180: Tilde

 After playing with brackets and braces the other day, I realized that the tilde also makes a perfectly fine moustache. When doubled, that is....

179: Smileystache

179: Smileystache

Happy monday.

178. Shrubstache

178. Shrubstache

These came from some variety of evergreen shrub, not sure what kind.

177. Asphalt

177. Asphalt

(sort of).
(more fun with cgi).

176. Tuba

176. Tuba

Another one from the brass section...

This tuba isn't mine... it's from here. with CC-A-SA license. 

175. Cornet

175. Cornet

Another musical moustache. A cornet, which is a lot like a trumpet, as far as moustaches go.
These recent ones reveal the truth - it's all just a matter of arrangement.

174. Centipede

I don't have an actual centipede around to use, so, here's a nice doubled-up drawing:

173. Skeleton Keys

173. Skeleton Keys

Perhaps to go with the lock and keyhole from before...?

172. Bracket

172. Bracket

I'm not the first to suggest that brackets ...  or braces... or whatever you call these - { } - look a bit like moustaches. There's a surprising degree of variation among fonts, and it's fun to look through them.
Here, to demonstrate, is my old friend, Times New Roman:

171. Halftones

171. Halftones

Three experiments with halftones...

170. Fingerstache

170. Fingerstache

Another  busy day at moustache central. Just getting this in under the wire.
A variation on the finger moustache for printers, sign makers, and those who wish to point the way.

168: Key hole

168: Key hole

I am at OSCON this week with my printmobile. This is inspired by the open source hardware logo, which I played with a little below.

166. Crab claws #2

166: Crab claws #2

The last of the crab pictures. A single claw, found on the beach and doubled.

165. Crab legs

165. Crab legs

... at least I think they are crab legs.

164: Crab Claws

164. Crab Claws

A bit gruesome, perhaps. I found this on the beach, just as it is in the photo in a semi-imperial formation.

163: Seaweed 'Stache (#2)

163: Seaweed 'Stache (#2)

Another type of seaweed, another style of 'stache. This bunch of seaweed seemed pretty attached to its spot in the sand, so I just moved the pieces around.

162: Seaweed 'Stache (#1)

162: Seaweed 'Stache (#1)

Another one from the shore: arranged seaweed...

161: Sandstache

161: Sandstache

Had a wonderful day on the Oregon coast, and spent some time moustache making and hunting. Here's the first one, a simple moustache drawn in the sand. 

160: Padlock

160: Padlock

A bit on the abstract side, but just look at that handlebar!

159. Rubber Bulb Syringe

159. Rubber Bulb Syringe

Rubber bulbs have all kinds of applications - camera triggers, gag flower water sprayers...  These particular ones are for squirting water into overcrowded ears, but they make a nice moustache, too.

158: Cashew 'Stache

158: Cashew 'Stache:

This is a nutty one:

157. Butterfly Moustache

157. Butterfly Moustache

The 1890's saw many trends in facial hair, among them, the "butterfly moustache." 

 Here's my version:

*Clip from The Milwaukee Journal, May 16, 1898, alongside a corset ad.

156: Watermelon Moustache

156: Watermelon Moustache

Perfect for a warm summer day...
...and I finally used my cookie cutters!

155: Moustache Chevron Pattern

155: Moustache Chevron Pattern:

Well, it was a good idea in theory. I made a couple of versions: one looks pretty much like chevrons, the other looks pretty much like moustaches...

154: Chevron Moustache

154: Chevron Moustache

153. A feather in your 'stache

153: A feather in your 'stache

I was not able to procure any real feathers for this, in spite of the large number of birds everywhere around here. There are more crows than I can count, ducks, geese, jays, robins, and even a hummingbird or two, but none willing to share their feathers. So, some good old-fashioned clip art will have to do.

152: Screws

152: Screws

A simple 'stache made of screws. Will probably attempt something more elaborate in the future....

151: Finial

151: Finial

Finally, a found fleur-y finial.
I don't know what it is actually from, but I assume that it once sat proudly atop some pole, lamp, or something or other.

 

150. Stringstache

150. Stringstache

Just a piece of string...
