Lovely Hues
(Not to be confused with the Lovely Hughs, a '50s doo-wop group from Philadelphia.) These are gels, actually, for low-wattage lighting applications, but for your purposes they're probably just 8" x 10" sheets of colored acetate in lovely hues just waiting for crafty applications. You get (6) sheets, one each in yellow, magenta, blue, real red, deep green and indigo.

Crystal Clear Geological Bargain
From Brazil, rescued from the guts of quartz crystal antennae, these clear rock crystals are pebble sized (some maybe 3/8" long, most smaller). We're thinking classrooms and microscopes, small jewelry items, or, at these prices, a nice little bowl of crystals for the table. Each small box contains approx 2-1/4 oz of crystals. We'll send you (2) boxes, which will about fill a test tube if combined.

Manual Document Shredder
Tired of being a slave to the electric company, or just worried about shredding documents if the FBI cuts the power to your office? Try our foolproof, non-electronic document shredder, a very scissors-like hand-held innovation. OK, a pair of scissors with (5) sets of parallel blades. Destroys credit cards in a couple of passes, takes care of full sheets with a few more. Craft/classroom/party-planner bonus: makes confetti like a champ, and produces fringe just as easily.

Feed Your Flowers
Seymour Krelborn could have avoided a lot of trouble in that horrid little shop if he'd had these Amazing Floral Beads to feed to Audrey II. Each packet has hundreds of 1/8" dia beads separated into (2) sections (one section of red and one of clear beads, one section black and one assorted, you get the idea). Drop one section of beads in a vase, add 32 ounces of water, and in 8 hours each bead is 50 times its original size, approx 3/4" dia, and packed full of enough nutrients and water to nurture plants for weeks. Plus they'll hold up the stems of cut flowers. And they're real pretty. So let us pick (2) packets for you, with (4) different colors.

Fully Articulated!
We saw articulated, foot-tall wooden artists' mannequins just like these in a Paris gallery window last year, with all their little articulated parts painted in different high-gloss colors. Very harlequinesque, and many, many Euros. Our 12" mannequins are in unfinished wood, but if you've got paint you could get all avant rive-gauche and paint your own. Not that sensitive? Paint your local NFL uniforms on 'em. In a pinch, you could use them as intended, as artist's models, but where's the fun in that?

Slices Of Agate
Our best and prettiest-ever slices of polished agate, showing concentric rings of natural color. The slices range from 3" to 4-1/2" across and from 1/8" to 3/16" thick. We've seen samples from milky white to blue, purple, red, yellow and brown. No two alike, by definition. We'll choose. Think scientific specimens, framed art, coasters, trivets, paperweights, or skipping stones for rich kids who don't want to search the beach for flat stones.

Big Creasy Animals
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Some of these creased beasts are extinct, some not. We'll send (2) packs of (5) origami models, (1) with dinosaurs and (1) with zoo animals. The dinosaurs include a stegosaurus, plateosaurus, iguanodon, T-Rex and deinonychus. The zoo group has an elephant, zebra, giraffe, leopard and camel. Includes full instructions and paper to match the critters hides, although we think they're guessing about the prehistoric ones.

Needle File Set
Miniature 5–1/2" steel needle files. They come in the usual assortment of flat, wedge, triangular, and round shapes, (10) in all. They seem to be pretty uniformly fine with none that we would call coarse. Made in China, they come in a vinyl carrying case that snaps shut. Not as classy as some of the sets we have seen in the $12.00 range, but perfectly serviceable for most applications. And at a third the price.

The Penny Cutters
These are the so-called miracle shears from Pakistan. They were designed for use by paramedics and others needing quickly to cut wire, light sheet metal, or other tough stuff that might stand between them and their quarry. They are normally demonstrated cutting a penny in two. Which they will do. But not as a steady diet. Let's dispel a few myths. While these are Pakistani stainless, we're not talking any miracles in manufacturing. They are good for their purpose, and real handy to have in the old tool box. But their purpose isn't making pennies into 5-mil pieces, and you will twist or break them at about the same time you find out that you've done the same thing to U.S. laws! For sheet metal or wire or fishing leaders or tin cans or whatever, be our guests.
