Crafty So and So's
Craftastrophe: because handmade isn't always pretty is a hilarious mix of the awful, the awfully brilliant, the bizarre and the strange (check out the teddy bear made out of a placenta or this evil bunny who is angry someone stole his carrots).
well, erm, hum, I have had my share of creating strange and ugly things, so who am I to judge
I have done the angry rabbit thing, the ugly dog thing
the ugly doll thing, and the ugly arse painting thing
Step Back in Time
Winter 1942-43
McCalls MagazineHum I see things then were just as ugly.
Can say I am NOT too fond of item J which is described in the mag as "this door-stop, a pig tailed Chinaman, won't make you bow down to move from place to place! His heavy wire pig-tail stands up as high as you wish; his head is filled with cement and covered with black oil-cloth."
eek!
