Guts 'n' Crafts

Via fastfwd, Knitted Digestive System. This is much more creative than the Visible Man and Visible Woman model kits I had when I was a kid, and appears to have more structural congruity, reducing the likelihood of finding little tiny plastic viscera under the furniture years after an accidental knocking-over; this woollen version you'd end up lumping into a box in the back of the closet, for someone to come across with no small bemusement while, say, helping you sort things for a move.

Oh, cool. Might post that in mine.

I'm not sure whether that's fascinating, disgusting, or both. Mostly fascinating, I think. Can you impaging a knitted brain, with all the regions in different shades? It could double as a muff...

Or a cap! A knit cap that resembled a human brain would be very eye-catching. *g*

You've reminded me that I never did order that brain gelatin mold! Have to find the link for it. I make a lot of Jell-O these days, and that would liven it up considerably. And free up my Corningware.

Hmm...I found one here (http://anatomical.com/product.asp?pn=21013), but it requires a custom recipe and I don't know if that would allow for the no-cal black-cherry Jell-O I make. It's also maybe a little too realistic. :)

Eww! Ok, that IS disgusting! Way too authentically slimy.

BTW, is that brain from the same cookbook as the blood-gushing heart cake? (Penn + Teller's, I think?)

Humbug on custom recipes! Archie McPhee to the rescue!

I love the little green gallbladder. Now, ain't that just a surprise, eh? LOL

Oh, but of course! Archie McPhee! And almost half the price, and theirs even shows gray matter. :) Thank you!

Please do! There can't be enough knitted digestive systems on Livejournal. *g*
