Here's some photos of my most recent crafty project, modified from an idea in the most recent issue of Bust. I spent two or three hours yesterday evening dipping crochet thread in papier mache and then wrapping it around and around balloons inflated to three or four inches in diameter. Then, I hung the balloon blobs to dry. This morning, I got to pop them and listen to the balloons slowly peel away from the skeleton around them. It sounded like puffed rice crackling; weird. Then, I took these egg-shaped globes and put them around every-other light in a string of $2 orange Halloween lights.
