Purchasing polyester resin while wearing pink paisley

[squirmelia]

Friday:

Just as I felt my finger being bitten by the hamster belonging to my next door neighbours (who seem to be in the band Dilutral), I imagined the frittered sounds of someone walking up the staircase in my house and it was then that I became less concerned about what I hear.

Saturday:

Polyester resin is mentioned in the Reader's Digest Family Book of Things to Make and Do in the section on Acrylics. A few paragraphs describe how to make castings, as well as recommending that flowers should be treated with preservative before being embedded. Teasels are one of their preferred objects, where as other people prefer pancakes, or making casts of door knobs or leaf shapes. One way of making casts is to make a model from plasticine or similar, then a mould of that using liquid latex, and then to mix the hardener and resin and pour it into the latex mould. Some instructions that are vaguely similar to the Reader's Digest ones can be found on the Resin-supplies website.

Anyway, I finally bought some, after looking at pictures in that Reader's Digest book for many years. The hardener may cause burns. I am unsure what I am going to make a model of yet. I could embed pink paisley or one of my eyes, or make models of ginger ale or nuclear bunkers.

After meeting some Barbelith people in a pub that seemed near the BT tower, and after going to slimelight, and after climbing into an unsuitable taxi, and after getting a ride in a police car, it became just after dawn again and the sky was streaked with pink, so I ended up taking many photos of cranes.

I think the problem with the foetus is that you'd probably need to use some kind of preservative? I'd have to check in the Reader's Digest book for more details.

hrm

i watched a program last night about monks that manged to mumify themselves, the ones they found were naturally preserved for over 500 years... just by eating the right stuff and meditating in a box untill they died...

perhaps if you could induce meditation to a foetus then it wouldn't need to be preserved.. it wouldn't need a box either as a womb would surfice..

hrmm....

is this getting a bit weird now? i've got pictures of a tiny little baby thing meditating

Something like that could work, or if a cockroach could be persuaded to donate a cockroach fetus that could be taught to meditate. It could then be embedded in a nuclear bunker, just in case, and would have supreme nuclear protection.

All of the above would also work for Keef Richards. Who will also have built in preservative. The cockroaches will go on pilgrimage to visit him like Lenin and receive some spiritual enrichment.
