Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #145 Z is for Zaphod Beeblebrox

We've got a mouthful of a challenge for you at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers this time - Z is for Zaphod Beeblebrox.


In case you are thinking ?, Zaphod Beeblebrox  is a two headed humanoid character from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by the late Douglas Adams, so whether you decide to be inspired by the two heads,  something else from the story or just something space/science fiction in general is up to you.

I decided to feature another aspect of the story, the Babelfish (a fish which lives in your ear and automatically translates every language in the Galaxy into your own language)


To make the background, I stencilled Versamark ink through a spotty stencil and heat embossed in silver then sponged distress inks over to create a sort of exploding nebula effect. The sentiment is a direct quote from the book.

What a brilliant theme. I love your interpretation. Have you got your towel? Love Dawn x

With a babelfish in one's ear, and a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster in one's hand, one could definitely travel the galaxy! Excellent way to honour the book and the theme.
