1.29.12

some wood/lino cut tools
a hand clip! this is hanging on the wall above my work area, holding my goals in front of me

hopefully, this will be the handle for the passenger-side window of my car

got this a few weeks ago, but it immediately went on my key chain so it didn't get photographed

1.22.12


awesome stamp set. only missing some punctuation and mathematical symbols.
small sticker says: "Superior Sign Marker No. 920 made in USA by S.M.E.CO."
my favorite one is the pointing hand
a large, heavy lens
the lens in action
giant box o' buttons
jumbo make
bone buttons
bone buttons close-up. notice the coarse grain (click the photo to enlarge)
not a flea find (ebay), but this (i was told) is elephant ivory.
notice how fine the grain is
also, some rain boots. a steal at $5
