Wow there was some strange, dare I say, fugly stuff in this book. It's from 1972, but that doesn't explain everything. I am tempted to do something I have never done before, to try to share the total weirdness of what was in this book. It was truly gratifyingly batsh*t.
Yup- I have to do it. I am going to take a picture of a page. There is no other way that I can startle you as much as Ramona startled me.
Yup. It really is a porno angel out of "inedible baker's clay". Rather, it is an "Angel pendant of inedible baker's clay by Vernon Koenig. In collection of Mrs. Spencer Mosely."Really.
And while that was certainly the highlight of the book for sheer freakiness, other suggested projects were nearly as strange, such as an "Upper Arm Bracelet of Pasta", which was made using a tin can- "Tin can (tuna or small cat-food size), model-airplane glue (which I think Ramona might have used a little too much, if you know what I mean), and spaghetti.
There were others. Oh, there were many. In fact, this might have been one of the most entertaining damn books I've read in ages. I read spots off this book, I am tempted to quote it in everyday conversation, I wish I owned it, for it's pure, heartfelt sincerity. Unfortunately, this gem is out of print. Can't imagine why.
