This coveted and highly sought-after handmade Brain-Dead journal is relatively light on activities, if you catch my drift.* 150 pages (75 sheets)* red softcover, approximately 8 x 4 3/4 inches* hand crafted by writer/artist dj runnels, whose brain IS slowly disintegrating, so it would behoove you to purchase sooner rather than later, while we still have the ability to ship this.* gads of illustrations on about every other page, because we don't want you to have to fill up tooooo many pages with your writing, cuz wouldn't that hurt your brain?NO TWO ARE ALIKE, but your journal is likely to be illustrated with something like:* puzzles that are filled in for you...but not correctly* sheet music that you won't be able to play even if you can read music* photos of dj's loved ones, used without their permission, doctored to make them look like zombies (snicker!)* fish skeletons for no particular reason other than we think they look cool* tombs* pages from a very old spelling book, often the TEACHER'S EDITION so that the answers are right there on the page for a change* science experiments that are so simplistic that even you could do them, if the entire directions were on the page, which they probably aren't, because we did not want you to hurt yourself* skulls, maybe* portions of recipes and how to set up a garden and other relaxing bits of nonsense* original artwork by dj runnelsThe pictures you see in this listing may or may not be in the journal you get, since each one is different.

Taken from a damaged 1904 book with poetry by James Whitcomb Riley. I trimmed away a few dog ears and some of the damage but you will still need to trim them. These are not pristine or suitable for framing. They will work for decoupage, collage, artwork.The picture of the angel has a dog ear in the upper left corner and damage to the angel's dress in the bottom right. See photos. But it was too precious to exclude. The artwork is sort of sepia tone, about 5 x 7 inches, on fairly sturdy paper, something like a light card stock. I cannot state for certain the artwork was completed in 1904. It was probably in the 1800's because there were previous editions of this book. But the publication of this book was 1904.By the way, all editions of this particular book appear to be in poor condition with serious spine damage.

These are strung on a copper choker. Our copper wire chokers are 17 to 23 inches in circumference which you can adjust with a few simple twists of the wire. I use needle-nosed pliers, but any handy implement will suffice as long as you dont hurt your dental work. The copper wire resists tarnish; you can polish it if you like but that kinda treatment tends to spoil them. Most of our necklaces are ethnic looking, perhaps taken apart from imported necklaces, and therefore may contain antique trader beads or other primitive vintage parts. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=773517 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:26:04 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=770965 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=770965"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/16665_product_2033610155_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> "Rabbit Cafe" Garden stake.

Dungeon bars keep forest critters out so they cannot get trapped or injured. Durable and intended to withstand the outdoor elements, but may also be used indoors. #40 is a bit under ten inches, pale russet stones on a 4x4 base. About 1 1/4 lbs.This will stand alone on a desktop or end table in your home. Or use them outdoors to create your own Castle Scape. They combine well with boulders, bricks, garden borders, birdbaths, pond settings...or even moats. Set them in mulch, soil, wood chips or sand. Place them on your deck, patio, front porch or by your mail box. Many of our customers buy them to use as part of a Renaissance wedding and then put them in their new yard after they are married--a beautiful keepsake. Other customers are members of SCA, Renaissance or Medieval groups.YES, this castle will hold up outside. We have one that has been outdoors for over four years. Year-round. Through Chicago blizzards. They are, after all, made of stone. The fluffy shrubbery will gradually wear away, however.Shipping rate quoted is for Chicago to California.
