As you may know, I recently took the decision to begin the process of covering my iBook with stickers. Well, it's white, and seems to cry out for it. Besides, it was getting a little tatty, and I thought some colourful stickers would brighten it up a treat. So, thanks largely to Aston and Jason, I began assembling a small collection of stickers to start from, and last night I placed the first few on. I'm being fairly conservative, at the moment, and here's what the lid of it currently looks like:



The Apple sticker in the centre is an official one (albeit very old), and it coincidentally perfectly fits over the glowing Apple on the lid. There are more stickers on the bottom.

I'm doing the whole thing very neatly; the red sticker at the left wraps round over the join between the screen and the main body, but has been carefully sliced so that the lid does still open.

I spent far too long last night browsing eBay for other funky stickers to add, and came up with a very long list. Hence, I'm now waiting for some ironic, possibly hazardous, baldness-related, cheery and assorted stickers to arrive in the next few days. I'm also very very much hoping to win this auction for Royal Military Police insignia.

If anyone who reads this has other stickers – the more retro or odd the better - please do drop me a line. I'll be posting proper photographs of the project in the coming weeks.

The iBook itself remains hors de combat, unfortunately, since my spanky new hard disk is yet to materialise. Bah.
