So it wasn’t enough we had ducks yesterday. This morning we had cows. (Different farm, same kind of wandering visit.) That’s right- I ran outside in my pajamas to take pictures of cows. Can you blame me? Look how adorable they are.

I woke up this morning to a cow in our driveway. I shortly thereafter went back to sleep, and wasn’t sure when I awoke again a couple hours later if it was a dream.

Night Beasts

This artist’s book can be read in 3 different ways: flipping the pages like a traditional book, laid out like an accordion, and examined through the frame in the cover. Flipping through each page reveals a different relationship between hunter and prey.

BETHANY YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY REACHED TUMBLR FAME YOU JUST APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS NO RELATION TO YOU. (That’s right, I went to high school with this amazing individual.)

The internet is so weird. It all started when it got reblogged by a popular book arts blog, and then it sort of blew up. And it was funny because it was a blog that I followed, but did not follow me. 

“Rocket ship to reach the moon must be five miles long”

Anyone seriously contemplating a trip to the moon by space ship is advised by a Canadian scientist that a rocket vehicle capable of a round trip must be at least as massive as 29,000-foot Mount Everest. Dr. J. W. Campbell of the University of Alberta reached this conclusion by mathematical studies.

An excerpt from a 1942 New England Almanac my mother just sent me in the mail.

Not me, myself, but I’m shamelessly promoting someone I like.

LETTER BOX

A letter that folds up into a perfect cube book with two 3-sided covers. The pages must be assembled before they are read.

Oh my dear sweet lord it’s a Tardis letter. Holy wow.

I live with a house full of Doctor Who fans. How did nobody notice this? Shame on us.

(By the way, my art blog seems to be getting some loving, and I’m not entirely sure why…)

Bethany: I’m going to throw my underwear at you.
Lara: Oh no.
Bethany: But it’s very pretty underwear. It has a bow on it, see?

I like our living situation.

Truth.

Bethany: It’s a warm fuzzy panic attack.
Katie: The best kind of panic attack.

I just had a moment in which I remembered when we factored the warm and fuzzies and it was good.

unprofessionaljar asked: given the location of the sun and the murderous rage of the albanian cockroach, what is the worst time to offend an insect?

There are other factors besides those two, such as humidity and the current political climate, but according to the best of my calculations: 3:00am.

Book press! Now I can press books!
It looks a bit like a medieval torture device, so that’s fun, too.

Anonymous asked: where is the book on puppetry? I would like to see that one included.
