Sometimes, past me is a dip. To be fair, I didn’t have a cell phone then, just a regular digital camera that I actually had to remember<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See, in 2012 I threw a letterboxing<\/a> party at the clubhouse of our apartments. It was called Dark Carnival, and I had a blast making utter crap “attractions” for it. But did I take pictures? Well, I have a few of the carnival itself, but almost nothing of my actual things I made. But here’s what we’ve got.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is just the basecoat. I remembered these because of the last post, because when B saw these, he yelled “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?” Again, I had won. A friend made a bunch of clown outfits, and this is the best photo (cropped to remove children who are probably adults now) I have of the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I never took a proper photo. All I have is the drawing: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Scary<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I made a very cool shadow toy that was broken immediately, and this thing. I don’t even remember what it did. It’s made out of very special “craft cylinders.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Brightly<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We mock people for taking pictures of their lunch, but I say, snap away! You never know what you’ll miss later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
