84. Moustache-on-a-stick

I have seen a lot of these going around (some even made of tasty-looking chocolate), and put my own together using a popsicle stick, some painter's tape and a cut-out moustache. Non-edible, alas, but so easy!

83. Licorice moustache

83. Licorice moustache

This stringy licorice is an ideal medium for moustache making. The strands lie down much like hairs.

82. Guitar bridge moustache

82. Guitar bridge

It was a Monday.
Like this guitar, I've seen better days. I didn't get much done, but it was sunny, and I did find my moustache of the day... 

Not all guitar bridges are this ornate, and this one boasts seven strings as well.
It was made, it seems, at the same factory as the mandolin, only in Leningrad rather than Petersburg ;).

Hammer, sickle, and lyre.

This was bound to show up eventually.

80. Earth Day moustache

For earth day, a moustachified map of the world...

 It's based on this "butterfly map":

I'm much more convinced of the butterfly shape than the moustache, but it was an honest attempt.

It's the weekend! Time to have some fun.
Barring that, it's a good opportunity to stare at something shiny.

78. Mandolin moustaches

78. Mandolin moustaches 

 If you're thinking these don't look much like mandolins, I wouldn't blame you. 

...but I did borrow the design from a mandolin:

 

 It was made, it says here, at the factory of folk musical plucked (string) instruments named for Lunacharsky in St. Petersburg, Russia.

77. Multi-tool multistache

77. Multi-tool multistache

Another way to make sure you have the right tool on hand at all times.
I see two moustaches in one here:

In fact, I see a whole face in the middle, like this:

 The long moustache reminds me of Yosemite Sam, which is why I made him a redhead.

This was cooler in my imagination, I think. But then, what's cooler than always having the right tool when you need it?

75. Binder clip moustache (another day at the office)

If there was ever a moustache style called the x-wing, it would look something like this:

... and here's a slightly abstract, but balanced moustache for good measure. 

74. Moustache cookie cutters

74. Moustache cookie cutters

I realize that people sell moustache-shaped cookie cutters, but I wanted some that weren't so.... well, cookie-cutter. 
I've been thinking about this for a while. I read tutorials about making custom cookie cutters from hardware-store sheet metal. I happen to have some of that on hand, but who knows if it's food safe?
I looked for cheap cookie cutters to turn into moustaches, but those are all coated in some shiny, glossy, colorful stuff - and who knows if that's actually food safe, especially after being bent, pliered, twisted, and cajoled into moustacheness. 
I finally found some ordinary metal cookie cutters. I used a tulip and a bell to make these:

 ... and a circle to make this one:

It's surprisingly hard to find a circular cookie cutter these days. I tried not to work too hard against the original shape, so the flower and bell still look a little flowery and bellish to me.
I'm looking forward to using them -- results to follow!

I was planning on posting a better version of this one, but my camera is misbehaving, so here it is.
Hopefully I will get my camera issues worked out for tomorrow! 

72. Rocket 'stache

72. Rocket 'stache

So, the other day was the 51st anniversary Yuri Gagarin's first venture into space (i.e. Yuri's night). I've been thinking about rockets since then, and didn't have much time today, so put together these (open) clip art rockets in a couple of moustachey shapes.

71. Double-decker stretch moustache (fireplace poker)

71. Double-decker stretch moustache (fireplace poker)

Maybe this one's a bit of a stretch. I saw two half-moustaches in the curved end of a fireplace poker and made a drawing of it. I ended up with what kid of looks like two stretched out moustaches stacked on top of one another.

70. Barcode moustache

I spelled out "daily moustache" using the code 128 font by Grand Zebu:

Bonus - A pointed moustache

That last, needlenose moustache reminds me of another pointy moustache of historic import: Napoleon III.

Impressive.

These poor pliers have seen better days, but they make a nice pointy moustache.

A different kind of moustache ruler:

I suppose there are other ways to measure a moustache ... weight, volume, applause-o-meter, but size seems... well, simpler.

65. Moss-stache

65. Moss-stache

Portland has more than enough moss to go around, and I've been thinking about this one for a while (moss-stache - a pun too good to resist!). I spotted the half-moustache shape on the left on top of a cement wall, and added some loose moss clumps to the right side to make a full moustache. Not quite a masterpiece of moss graffiti (amazing stuff, but I'm not sure I'm ready to risk getting in trouble for unauthorized use of the household blender), but a lot of fun.
