Lucky Number 13 -- The Day of the Die-o-Rama

Q. Was Lizzie Borden framed for murder?

A. No, she hung the jury!


... I'll be here allll night, folks. And after you've enjoyed the roast beef at the buffet table, you might like to come back and examine these boxes in our living room. Do you like dioramas? Yes? Well then - you'll LOVE die-o-ramas, the Little Boxes of Death That Did.

Thanks to all that came out and crafted some of the most amazing, the most detailed, and disturbing scenes we've seen since watching the opening credits for Cool As Ice. More pictures to come soon - check out some here!

Only the Shadow Knows

To ______ or not to _______, this was the question at Craftbites #11: A Shadow Walks into a Bard. Shakespeare may be dead and gone, but the shadow of his legacy was present Sunday night, as we celebrated his birthday by updating his famous plays for the 21st century. Who knew Horatio from Hamlet owned a rape whistle? Or that Juliet was friends with Susan Boyle? According to our shadow puppets, all that time we spent poring over his cliff notes plays in high school didn't do us any good - the truth is here, and you heard it first at Craftbites.

Check out more pictures - including some great behind the scenes shots - here!

Announcing Craftbites #11: A Shadow Walks into a Bard

William Shakespeare. What else can we say about him, he's motherfucking William Shakespeare.

Instead, I will talk about a subject I care very deeply about: Snail Illiteracy.

Did you know that tens of thousands of snails in America cannot recite the alphabet, and cannot tell the difference between a past participle and a parsed papillary necrosis? A crime of omission people! We all must do our part to combat this scourge! Why, there are probably at least four or five illiterate snails in your backyard RIGHT NOW, doing what illiterate snails always do SMOKING LUCKYS AND DANCING THE JITTERBUG. I urge you, people. Go find those snails! Put a pair of wet boots in the garden overnight, and bring your captured snails to the library, post haste. Show them the glory of War and Peace...the intrigue of the Maltese Falcon...And the hateful misery of Ethan Fromme! This isn't a "when I have time" thing people YOU MUST BEGIN NOW.

But.... before you do.....

Please consider stopping by our house this Sunday night, for CRAFTBITES # 11-A Shadow Walks into a Bard -A Birthday Party for Shakespeare! Don't worry, you won't have to take off your pants, or share your feelings this time. Just bring a tasty side dish or appetizer, your best set of adjectives and a snail, and we'll be in the fun zone.

When? Sunday, April 26th @ 6:00 PM
Where? Lawton Estates

Hop on the etiquette train and RSVP BY APRIL 25TH!

Love
Your craftbites hosts
Arlene, Rachel, and Sam WilliamShakespeare.

Craftbites #10: Paint! I wanna live forever

Forget botox. Forget oil of olay. Last night, we learned the swish of a paintbrush is all you need to reverse the onslaught of wrinkles, liverspots, and sparrows brow. Is it possible to live forever in just one night? We'd like to think so.
