Why the Slug is a HE SHE 

a slug-inspired comic by Sia Joo Hiang.

Every tree needs a doinky creature.

 

Grab one now, by the neck:

A chubby tree made using collected green coloured cotton tees...

 a beaver made using any clothing that was either yellow or brown in colour...

 a carrot made using collected orange cotton tees....

 a bearded santa made using any fabric that was red and white....

 and a hearty heart made using any fabric that was red in colour or floral-patterned.

 After collecting the fabrics and clothing to make these ornaments, they were rolled and baked in the oven at 130 degrees for 2 months, and out pops these chubby fellas! 

All ornaments are available at:

the Doinky Hut .

and the yummy velvety

Room for Dessert (from 1st December).

Ho ho ho indeedly do!

Rejects

 Every year, a relatively large number of ornaments are made for Christmas. Ornaments are fun, cool and completely functionless, but sometimes things have to exist for no reason at all. Perhaps they help elevate the meaning of other stuff like war, or the quantum theory, or why mole rats have no hair...etc etc. And every time handmade goods are made by the dozens, there will always be that few rejects that don't make final cut...so a friend asks:

What happens to those Rejects?

Meet Jo.

Jo nearly made it to the finals. He was all stitched up, tattooed with beads and sewn with a row of perfect teeth. 

Say hello to Jo.

Now say goodbye to Jo. His back was thinning out. The skin was just too thin and that is no good. 'Cause eventually, his insides will spill out. Nobody should have to purchase a gingerbreadman to see its insides spill out after one or two sessions decorating their home. 

So, Jo had to go. 

His body was dumped. Only someone crazy enough would know just what to do with the remains of Jo.

 Perhaps you might know by now, the Doinky shop is all about recycling. We learn that philosophy from the great-

Carrion Beetles.

Here is a rare capture of a carrion beetle checking out Jo's body. Just WHAT will it DO to Jo?

 Yes. It will...and it shall! The carrion beetle will lay its eggs inside Jo's dead body, its warm, furry, homely, dead insides of a body.

Upon hatching from their eggs, the larvae will consume the remains of Jo.

Nature, truly is, wonderful.

As Jo's watches the larvae screw with his body from heavens above, he pukes a final buckload of blood. Disgusted at how the carrion beetle has totally f-ed him, Jo finally moves on to the light at the end of the tunnel to be reincarnated,

as a motherpooting carrion beetle.  

Now say hello to New Jo, the carrion beetle.
