Last view: 2704 days 		I work at an advertising agency and sometimes I'm just left with nothing to work on.
Then I just craft some stuff out of boredom. I've only done two things worth showing so far, but I'll keep this thread updated on the same pace as I do shit.

Here's the first one. Book binding. Very tiny book binding!


This one's a cigarette pack. For one cigarette! No textures because concept only but yeah.

I'm considering contacting a printing press if I can expand this to a stop smoking-campaign or some shit.

That's all for now. :<

I don't smoke, and have never done so before, but I approve of this idea

I'm not sure about the usefulness of the first one, though it looks rather difficult to have made. The single-cigarette case is a pretty cool idea though.

Also: Welcome back, good to see you're still around.

Last view: 4600 days 		Both look really neat, and have you heard of one "author" who wrote absurdly small texts on tiny bits of paper--it's assembled and published into a normal book but just a thought.

The concept on the other one is neat, and the second one looks promising. I think it could use some polish so that it seems less amateurish (probably just the textures like you mentioned), maybe a glossier paper?

I have set eyes on a one-inch-square Bible.

Last view: 2704 days 		I'm aware the small book isn't very purposeful.. it doesn't even have text in it. :<
It was more or less a challenge to myself if I can bind a book that small.
Maybe I could hide it in a library? Or better yet, make a set of tiny-ass books and craft a tiny tiny shelf and hide that in the library?

Regardless, thanks for the feedback all!

Also, Flan, no, I haven't heard from this person. Sounds awesome.

This would be pretty amazing... you should consider doing it!

Be sure to take pictures and post back here when you do.... these kinds of little performance/meta absurdism pieces are great...

I heard the mailman drop by this morning but he didn't deliver any mail.. at least to me.




Särkilahti is my neighbor. He's really small.


Looks like he's got a letter.


I suppose he doesn't mind if I take a look...


Oh okay.


For all you non-finns out there, it says "Hey Kari! What's going on these days? Are you still as small? I should be getting there sometime next month, it would be great to see you".

This one's a bit more subtle... I hid it in an old vent.


??????????


A sticker?


Apparently yeah. But I took the photo from such an angle that the purpose kinda melts... You see, the rain above the man and his trusty dachshund is actually a barcode. If you've got a reader on your phone or whatever, sticking it into the hole and reading it will grant you a message.
But like I said I realized only afterwards that I took that last photo from a shitty angle so you can't read it unless you photoshop the rightmost 'merged' apart from each other or something.
WELP I've got like 20 of these in different sizes so I guess I'll post another pic if I get around sticking another somewhere.

Cute picture.

Also, that vent looks like it would be an ideal place to hide a geocache in. May this serve as an inspiration for future spells of boredom?

Also,


I've hidden 24 of these little QR code stickers all over town. Each contain a unique motivational message.

This one's made from a toothpick and a laminated duplex print of a Piranha plant!


I made four of these and sticked them on random public flowerbeds across town.


lol

If all goes well, I'll get it done tomorrow, depending on the amount of (real) work I have.
It involves beer!


EDIT: hum.. no idea why I'm logged in with this account.
Well, regardless, I'm Raccoon Sam. I had some password problems ages ago so I was left with two accounts.

(if you're Finnish you'll get this instantly)
the scale is 1:10






I'm born and raised in Pori, a relatively big town in Finland. It's also the place where I live right now.
One of the most well-acclaimed beers of Finland is Karhu. It is Finnish and means "Bear".

pictured: a 24-pack of Karhu-beer

The word "Pori", the name of the town I live in originates from bears as well, originally deprived from Swedish "Björneborg" meaning "Bear castle".

I decided to do a little tribute to Pori and its Karhu-beer by making my own beer.
"Marsu" means "Guinea Pig" in English.

I also made templates for tiny tiny little beer cans for cut pencils of which 24 would fit perfectly in the box. It's just that I can't find any goddamn round pencils from ANY STORE. They're all hexagonal. Why?
