From flosser to Rattle

It was a vibrating flosser (weird, in my opinion) but now it's a rattle (still weird, but more intentionally so).

I added little silver domes so this one would make more noise when it's on. N. mentioned that I need to address the baby-rattle reference, so now I'm thinking of how I can make that comment a little stronger...

Another Rattle

Even the yellow parts on the brush heads move back and forth.

Art Guilt

If I learned one thing in my 7 1/2 years of academic art training, it was to feel guilty about any moment of any day that I did not devote to the creation or conception of a "real" work of art.

While I have been making things since I left grad school and moved to Southern Illinois this past summer, I have not actually worked on much of what I would call my "art," until now.

So here it is. Proof that I have at least marginally continued the train of art-making I began in grad school. The white part is a vibrating tool intended for exfoliating one's face and I have loosely attached onto it the butt-ends of bright green toothbrushes. I have plans for more of these "rattles" since the new wave in grooming tools seems to be vibration--even in shaving razors...An idea which actually kind of horrifies me.
