It's Craft Time!

A cheap, one-dollar (plus tax) round, wooden box from Michael's Crafts + A Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing + some paint and glue =

I think I'll use it to keep jelly beans in. I honestly can't think of anything else to do with it.

Next up: MODOK Russian Nesting Dolls!

	Man, you joke, Jon, but if I ever get a surplus of dough, I'm commissioning someone to make me Weasley nesting dolls. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	MAYBE I SHOULD ALSO DISCUSS YOUR POST spinooti 2007-07-02 03:08 pm UTC (link)
	ALSO: That is amazing. I am amazed and delighted. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I say this with authority. calamityjon 2007-07-02 03:16 pm UTC (link)

	I...I...damn you, Calamity Jon, for what could possibly top the awesome of a MODOK jelly bean container? This week has peaked way too early, thanks to you. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	HA nice! And if you get nesting dolls, (I suggest you paint a Justice league set!) don't get them from the Wurst Gallery, I've been waiting months for an order of them! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	calamityjon 2007-07-02 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	I was wondering if you'd gotten those or done anything with 'em. Also, I was wondering if you'd died from getting a mudflap to the face, but then you sent me some pirate shanties, so I knew you were all right ... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Also, where the heck else would I GET blank Russian Nesting Dolls? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	ddean 2007-07-02 03:32 pm UTC (link)
	You could get a series of smaller containters and make them out of that... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	nvonflue 2007-07-02 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	EXACTLY, JON. And this is why I'm still waiting. Also shanteys, huh? not too bad? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Huh, that's pretty much as cheap as Wurst, Most other places I've seen sells em for double (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This is the greatest thing I've seen ever. (how much would you charge for a commission of nesting dolls?) :) seriously? like, say, either golden-age DC characters or hellboy and co. since your pin-up continues to rock on an hourly basis :D ...now i'm wanting to get one of those little blank wooden triptychs and paint something fun. ...hmm... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	amanofhats 2007-07-02 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	your pin-up continues to rock on an hourly basis It isn't charging you on an hourly basis, is it? Cuz that is so Jon. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	calamityjon 2007-07-02 05:44 pm UTC (link)
	Oooh, I knew someone would ask about commissioning some nesting dolls, I just hoped it would be one of the people who hang around my journal and I don't particularly like them, cause them it is easy to turn down. I have to say, I'm not sure I really have the enthusiasm to paint a group of nesting dolls. This took long enough ... (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	envertigo 2007-07-02 06:12 pm UTC (link)
	(damn.) :) no worries, nesting dolls have been something i've wanted to play around with forever, but the time and patience it would take would just be phenomoenal. the box is amazing tho, that was painted directly on the wood? what did you use to ink over the paint? i've had horrible luck inking over acrylic, but haven't tried it again in a long time...

	That is pretty friggin' cool. (Reply to this)

	Oh good God, that's adorable. The wee arm! (Reply to this)

	That is sooo coool! (Reply to this)

	brandiweed 2007-07-02 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	That. is. AWESOME! Also, while this wouldn't work so well for the nesting-doll shapes, I bet if you wanted to make a few of these at faster speed (hint, hint) you could print the design onto a decent-weight paper (top and sides) and glue it onto boxes... (Reply to this)

	I thought it was Krang. My brain got off the time stream in the '90s. It looks killer hardcore though. (Reply to this)

	Excellently. This box has killed me. (For a long time I watch your creativity.) :}) (Reply to this)
