Thursdays are for What the Hell is This?

Are you familiar with The AntiCraft? According to their "antifesto" they "were deep in the clutches of a weeklong absinthe binge when the Divine Hand of Brilliance touched us in an inappropriate place. When this vision came, we knew we must create a haven for all the sinister crafters of the world." Their "Beltane 2009" issue was devoted entirely to merkins. If you're not sure what I'm talking about you can read their article, "WTF is a Merkin?" The photos of the projects are decidedly not safe for work though if you're interested I find the merkin made of fishing lures...er...interesting. The only one I can show you is this one, made of glow in the dark yarn.



Certainly if you came across this in the course of your day you'd find yourself saying, "What the hell is this?"

And of course I had to check out the merkin made of fishing lures... Good thing I'm not at work!

Then again, you wouldn't see the glow-in-the-dark quality in the course of an ordinary day... unless you work nights, like I do, or hang out in dark rooms... with black lights, maybe? Too funny!

Because of course, we all want to glow down there. Ah ha ha ha!

I got "preerrag" as a verification word for this.

Hey, my daughter designed one of the merkins! She gave a fake name so no one, like a future employer, would be able to Google that part of her past, but I'm very proud.
