day 335

day 329

it was tedious, but the fun of seeing all these ribbons blowing crazily in the wind of the fan was way worth the effort.  i still haven't undone them

Captain Crunch, I confess I do love your sugary, sweet corn goodness

an experiment in deconstructing a light bulb requiring much care and precision, but creating the tiny heart filament was a great reward!

i revisited this childhood craft of making yarn puffs to turn into googly-eyed creatures, and just trimmed a puff into proper shape
