Missing Tooth Club Rug
Initially thought this was going to be a patch, but patches are expensive to manufacture. Took a tufting workshop, found the sensations very satisfying, and turned the design into a welcome mat, of sorts. I imagine it as a timeshare rug among my many friends that are missing at least one tooth.

Plush Toilet Paper
For Sale $5 (plus shipping)I was inspired by a person that made a plush chair and plush charging cord and other plush objects, but I wanted something that could also function as its intended use.
You could use this as toilet paper, exactly once. Maybe twice if washed, but the tube will be soggy.

Mental Slip
My friend mentioned a mental slip, and I imagined a physical permission slip, so I made one in keychain-form. I attached to my keys and carried it around for months, letting lots of people touch it. It came with from Portland to Seattle to Denver and back. It accompanied me to multiple beaches and walking paths. Eventually I mailed it off to said friend, and replaced the keychain with a different shape.

Spoons
In early 2018, I was working at a gold and coin store run by someone with a similar mentality to Donald Trump, but named Klaus. Working for Klaus made me never want to work for anyone again. He handed me these spoons to "make use of". So I did. This one set things in motion.
Fun fact: Klaus and his wife (but not his mistress, who his wife ran down with her SUV once) are mentioned in at least one Cheech and Chong movie.
