March 1, 2006: Super Dork Tower

One of the high points of my visit to OwlCon was seeing this great custom-made Dork Tower set created by Andrea Little and David O. Little.

The tower was created from a Hirst Arts plaster-molding kit called The Octagon Tower. It's customized with sun and moon charms from Hobby Lobby.

The small cities are wedding placecard holders, also from Hobby Lobby. The playing pieces are the Dork Tower Miniatures set (and yes, they're still available). The board is foamcore, with the map painted on; the trees are Christmas decorations, the water is made from scrapbooking stickers, the mountains are built from Sculpy and painted, and the graphics are blown-up copies from the original game map.

And Z'Mendrick is the Stikfas Phantom.
