Meet Dead Man's Bones: Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields Pictured: Zach Shields, Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir, Ryan Gosling An Oscar-nominated Hollywood heartthrob and his best friend round up a bunch of instruments-- some of which they don't know how to play-- and a massive children's choir and make a concept album about the supernatural. Seems like a recipe for disaster, right? Guess again. Meet Dead Man's Bones, a collaboration between actors Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson, The Believer, The Notebook) and Zach Shields. As far as celebrity music projects go, the quality level on this one is a lot closer to She & Him than, say, Joaquin Phoenix's rap career. Earlier this week, Gosling and Shields gave Pitchfork their first-ever interview about Dead Man's Bones. Gosling and Shields met in 2005; Gosling was dating actress Rachel McAdams (his co-star in The Notebook) and Shields was dating her sister Kayleen. Shields added, "Kids are the best. "The whole idea about working with kids and their imagination is true," Shields said.

Now let’s do the stamping. The bottom of 2-liter soda bottle has five points like the five petals of a cherry blossom. Press the plastic bottle on the poster board, then lift up.
