I was eating a Weight Watcher’s ice cream bar and was left with this amazing little shape. A few moments and some permanent markers later, I had the Buzz you see before you. I considered eating another bar so I could make him some arms… but that would defeat the purpose of eating Weight Watcher’s… and he would look like he was hanging on a cross.
This Buzz says, “I still smell like strawberries!”
Who doesn’t like Hello Kitty? This one goes out to my sister Aimee who had her first baby about three weeks ago. She collects Hello Kitty the way I collect Buzz stuff.
This Buzz says, “I don’t have a mouth.”
Not to sound like a hipster… but I hated clowns before hating clowns was cool.
This Buzz says, “AAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
I drew this Buzz tonight after a children’s church service. Pretty dull story… until…
I was talking to someone and had turned away for just a moment. After a few seconds I realized that my son was repeating the sentence, “Daddy! Ha ha!” over and over. I looked… and he had drawn a dark gray squiggle on my unfinished work.
“Daddy! Ha ha!” Little punk.
Dark and mysterious. This how I imagine Buzz Lightyear would look as a Jedi.
I didn’t color it because I couldn’t decide what color his lightsaber would be. The most obvious choice would be green… but then purple would work just as well. Red could also be appealing. What do you think? Leave your choice in the comments.
This Buzz says, “Stand back while I power up my Laser Swords.”
Clothespin Buzz started his life as a Doll Clothes Pin. After some paint and foam and a lot of Tacky Glue (and a few episodes of Community) he became what you see here. I love him.
This Buzz says, “Sid only took one of my arms! And you call yourself a fan?”
This Buzz was made using the aluminum cut from a Diet Cherry Pepsi can… my drink of choice. I cut it square, taped it down to some foam and used a regular number 2 pencil to score the character into the metal.
This Buzz says, “I’m not the best Buzz on this site… but I’m recycled… and that counts for something.”
<sarcasm>I love how some of my least favorite Buzzes take the longest create and are the most difficult.</sarcasm>
This is an original Buzz created from a bag of Pony Beads and some Plastic Lacing. This is the first time I have ever done such a thing and would like to try it again with what I’ve now learned. I made a ton of mistakes and I’m not thrilled with the arms… but pretty good for a first try.
This Buzz says, “These are sad, strangle little arms… and they have my pity.”

“Fed [some mac and cheese] to our kids tonight and thought it would be cool to see a “preschool craft” style Buzz made from Mac & Cheese noodles.”
So I grabbed a paper plate, some tacky glue and a mess of macaroni and relived a part of my childhood that I don’t even remember.
This Buzz says, “What, no glitter?”
I’ve been wanting to do a how-to for quite a while. I always had a love hate relationship with how-tos from Highlights and the local newspapers. It always seemed like they started out way too simple then skipped a bunch of steps to get to the finished product. It was almost like the artist wanted me to know that I could copy all I wanted… but I would never learn and possibly take his job some day. I understand the logic… in this economy it makes perfect sense.
This Buzz says, “I don’t have sad eyes!”
