This is Colossal
Can't believe it's taken me this long to discover:
https://www.thisiscolossal.com/
A mighty fine source of inspiration for art, design and the visual arts. I've been here a week and only gotten to page 74. 900 pages to go.

Arranging the Summer's finds...
I'd promised the daughter I'd fix up the tooth she found, and so finally I got around to it. Have been postponing, and then began it and left in bits all over the kitchen, finally, finally finished it up. Bloody hell.

Washed, and carefully picked out all the pieces:
Some work ahead of me for sure. But I like this sort of stuff...
A bit of the glue used to mount it visible behind.
The other two finds that day:
The last one was a bit of a disappointment - a good complete piece that completely disintegrated upon mounting, had to scramble to get it partially back together before the glue dried.
In future the best policy would probably be to encase the specimens in resin or liquid plastic - for all my work they don't seem to get better, so just preserve them as they were found.
Next time.

Manila Folders, Pumpkin Pie & Aliens
The aliens commanded by my daughter & son...to do, no doubt, with her program of study...The Pumpkin Pie because it was around Thanksgiving & the Manila Folders because he found them in a free pile. Sorry, they took forever to flatten out even just a little bit.

Never got a chance to link to him - interesting stuff, made all the more so by his making them mechanical.
