What do you get when you combine obsolete hard drive components with 5-minute epoxy and assorted kitsch? The World's Most Powerful Refrigerator Magnets.





I tried out the epoxy in a successful attempt to bring the Goat Beast back from the dismembered. More on that later probably. My success inspired me. Don't feed these suckers after midnight, and if they should get within 3 inches of one another, with nothing ferrous to distract them, make sure that no body parts are in the way. I learned that their strength is cumulative by accidentally interposing the sensitive flesh between my fingers betwixt two stacks of three that wanted to become one stack of six. *admires lovely blood blister* On the other hand, just one can secure a stack of paper 15 sheets thick, a task they are called on to perform as I keep all my business reservations stuck to the fridge.

Now that I have a 'use' for them, I've been rapidly acquiring more Disney pins on ebay. *rubs hands together* I don't tell the sellers what I'm planning to do with their collectibles.

This is the kind of art I love. I didn't know epoxy would do it though *off to destroy a few old computers*

I'm definitely a fan of Mr. Skellington. All that and he can sing too! I've bought a few more 'Jack' pins and am anxiously awaiting their arrival.

Epoxy is awesome. Welding for Wussies.

My poor fingers. It was pretty distressing until I finally convinced them to release me.

Happy 32nd of May! 10yo got a little carried away.
