The girls started as piles of stuff I've collected over the years. What do you do with a 10 gallon acquarium full of pencils? or several 5 gallon buckets of empty nitrous oxide containers? A normal person looks for a place to sell or dump them. An artist turns them into something.

Thus started A Thousand Things
|
The girls in very rough time order
| | 1.) | Penny |
About $50-65 of pennies. Shiny ones for the bikini regions, dark for her tanned body.
|

Made of left over nitrous oxide containers from a party at Red, White and Blue Beach many years ago.
|
| | 4.) | Untitled |
Made of ~70lb of small nuts and bolts that I first tried to Elmer's Glue together. Then coated with fiberglass. Needs A second one was also made that looks better but is crumbly.
|
| | 5.) | Leda |
Made from hundreds of old pencils collected when I was a teacher. Stored in a 10 gallon fish tank for years, they went through my 2003 fire-which can still be seen on some of them. The back is made of modern dollar stor pencils from china.
|
| | 6.) | Elecktra (unfinished) |
Made from all the components of a power strip-switches, red indicator lamps and female plugs. When done, it will be wired in useful ways including nipples that are push button dimmer switches that control the brightness of the lights ringing the breasts.

|
| | 12.) | Stretch |
