Only One Exists
Show & tell pieces are assembled out of whatever was on the table that week — thrifted figurines, broken jewelry, mirror tiles, gummy bears of questionable vintage, and a truly unreasonable amount of glue.
They are not editions. They are not reprints. When one goes home with somebody, the listing stays up with a stamp on it so you can see what you missed and feel something about it.
Show & tell listings are photographed as the actual object you will receive, not a sample of something similar.
The moment one is paid for it comes off the shop. If two people reach it at the same second, the later one is refunded straight away.
On the Table Right Now
Every piece here is the only one of itself. President Momo has inspected all of them, mostly by sitting on them.
How Show & Tell Works
-
Something turns up
A garage sale, a clearance bin, a box left on a curb with a handwritten FREE sign. This is the research phase.
-
It gets taken apart
Repainted, rewired, re-bowed, glued to something unrelated. There is no plan at this stage and there never has been.
-
Momo inspects it
She knocks it off the table. If it survives, it is structurally sound. If it does not, it becomes part of something else.
-
It goes up here, once
Photographed on the craft table, listed, and then it is somebody else's problem. Affectionately.
