Even More Tiny Books!!

A moment of silence please:

I've got the 16 ouncer now friends. No more screwing around. TINY BOOKS!!!

This one is called ABHAN:

"SHEY'S":

Getting a lot of mileage out of that absinthe box. "Oooops!":

This is really burning through my giant stash of collage materials. I feel pretty good about that since I've had many of these clippings for years. 5 1/2 more hours of Factory Job before I can get back to making tiny books...

We Need To Talk About Aleene's Original Tacky Glue

aleenes.com

I didn't realize I had a problem until I was almost out of it and got angry. I began planning my crafts based on how much of the glue was left in the bottle, which calmed me down long enough to recover my senses and rationally decide to go to the walmarks tonight after work and get A WHOLE LOT MORE OF IT. It's pretty much the only way I got any sleep last night.

So I guess I'm addicted to it. The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Aleene's Original Tacky Glue dries so fast, you guys. It doesn't get everywhere, it's super sticky, it dries clear, and somehow does not adhere the lid to the tip. You need this glue.

Here's what I'm doing with it. More tiny books!!

"City Water":

"Everlasting J":

Tonight I will be heavily restocking this glue. I honestly don't even remember what I was using before. It has been replaced.

In other news, I have lost the battle and have joined instagram. Sigh. dr_craftenstein

I have no idea what I'm doing. Please be merciless -- it's the only way I'll learn.

Now I'm going to make sure my paycheck landed in my account so I can spend the entire thing on Aleene's glue. I don't plan to ever run out again....

Later, back at the Bunker:

NEVER RUN OUT AGAAAAAAAAIIINNNNNNNNN

More Tiny Books!

More tiny books! I'm kind of obsessed with making these right now. If you're wondering why all the pages have a blue background, the answer is simple: it is my least favorite color of cardstock and I'm trying to burn it off. When I run out of this, I'm switching to either that one ugly green or horrible, horrible peach. Blech.

This one is called "Dick":

BTW I redid those sorry pictures of "Hi Corey" and "15" from the earlier post during my photoshoot today. And I put all these books in the Dr. Craftenstein store.

This one is called "Merci':

"Spray Sock":

"Nurse Hat":

This cover is from part of a target that I blew up with my birthday shotgun from Frankenhottie. <3

And last but not least, "Vincent":

If they ever let me leave here today, I'll go home and make some more. Hooray tiny books!

More Dead Wasps

It's super slow at Factory Job right now, being that it's the day after xmas. Since this place has better lighting than back at the Bunker, I hauled all my junk in and did a photo shoot. Hooray!

I finally put the wasp pendants in the Dr. Craftenstein shop. They will each come with a black cord. Here are the store pics I designed:

Quite the pitched battle I waged today with the mosaic tool. Luckily there isn't shit else to do! I hate touching the computer after hours, so I am pleased I was able to use the time. Shall I dare two posts in one day?? Shall I???
