a little less two dimension, a little more… three dimensions.

I saw audrey kawasaki's felt dolls when I was thinking about my friend Jenn Woodall, who makes these insanely awesome geek plushies (as gifts, in additional to her insane costuming workload...) and who's birthday was coming up. My idea was to try and make her a tiny Jenn-Clone Sewing Slave, although I think that intention got buried since I decided I didn't what to have it holding anything sharp. I suppose she could stick it full of pins if she so desires. That's helpful, right?

I also make other things! Look, I made this iPod Protection Screen out of packing tape and some bits of plastic I found in the road. (I am a dishwasher at a culinary center. It gets wet, and we recently upgraded our barely-functioning radio for somebodies fancy-ass iPod dock.)

One of my coworkers at the culinary center is crazy for chocolate milk, so occassionally my boss orders it for us and it comes in these huge unweidly boxes that I guess are intended for some kind of dispenser.

This is the greatest piece of art I have ever created. My coworker said it's a little disconcerting to be drinking chocolate milk out of something with a face, but really, it was someone else who made it worse... when gravity began to work against it they had to flip the box over, and now they're drinking chocolate milk out of a dead elephant. (In that an elephant is actually a really complicated land-fish, and that all fish end up belly to the sky someday.)

Hey, did you know I got a twitter? You can add me at @gblekkenhorst. I've actually had one for a while now, but i didn't, like, GET it until I got a smart phone. I've rediscovered the joys I thought I lost when I finally crawled from the basement, wheezing to step into the sunlight of participating with the human race! Now I can constantly be hitting the REFRESH button while out on the town.

Oh, yes: because of my recent twitter obsession, you'll notice all the pages on the blog now have "tweet this" under them, and if you're one of my four VERY lucky twitter followers, you may have followed me here from you twitter feed! Ooo, I have the shivers.
