A Whole Lot of Elephants, A few Aliens and some other Art

Hello Readers!
It has been a few days since I posted anything. 
Can't say I've been exceptionally busy or anything...just didn't have anything to show so no reason to make a post.
Now I do have a lot to show so let's get on with it!

Green Bottle Cap Alien Magnet


Pink Glitter Alien Magnet

Rose Petal Alien Couple Magnet

White Bottle Cap Alien Magnet

All of the aliens are little rubber toys. All are contained in a bottle cap except the pink glitter one which is actually a knob from a dead washing machine. I've used various doodads along with the aliens to make the magnets. And in reality, these aren't really magnets, yet, cause they have no magnets attached just yet.

Five Pamphlet Stitched Little Books
5x7inches
They have 1 sheet of watercolor paper and 5 sheets of linen resume paper for pages. They're sewn with white crochet thread. The covers are made from recycled chipboard (cereal boxes), painted with acrylics. The edges are wrapped with silver foil tape. The ties are braided white cotton crochet thread with a yellow wooden bead braided in at the tail end to serve as a fastener. 

I have yet to add this batch of art to my list of things done in 2012. At last count there are 268 things on the list. 

I still have a few things in the works. The flamingo is at the top of that list. He's not had any progress made on him. I had to take a break from doing whatever the heck I want for a few days to make the five little books shown above. I made four covers and didn't like them so I started over completely. I'll make those four covers into books eventually.
I'm still working on the plastic canvas box. It is coming along nicely! I've got the bottom of the box, one end piece and a little more than half of the front piece done. That leaves 3 side pieces, the rest of the front and all of the back still to stitch. Progress is being made though.

That's about all from me today.
The old body is in rebel mode and I have a headache from hell! 
Be good to one another!
Peace!
