ladies and gents, i canNOT believe how long it has been since i've last posted.  it's absurd!  abhorrent!  abnormal!  absolutely unacceptable!  so to make it up to you, i will give you the most glove action you've ever seen here on this blog.

not one,
not two,
not even three,
but FOUR GLOVES!  in one post!

well, i know what you're thinking.  you're saying to yourself, "that liz, she so crazy... how she got four gloves lying around anyhow?"  well, i'd tell you why... but i don't exactly know.  alls i knows is that i found the first dubglove several months back but was unable to turn it into a glove doll because i had no free time whatsoever because i was teaching full-time.  now that i have a little bit o' extra time, i can do fun things like rehabbing lost gloves.  so i apologize at not having photo of the first pair where i actually found them, but i can't for the life of me remember where i found them or if i even took a picture.  i decided that these two gloves, since they were found together, shall travel together all the rest of their days.  i chose to create a rider and his vehicle.  well, without further ado, here's the first pair!


say hi to...  Gianwayne and his faithful Steed!

the second pair of gloves i found just yesterday when wandering the streets of santa monica with one of my best friends and old college roommate, jessica.  i picked her up after she was done with her workly duties and parked my car in one of the many parking structures available in the area.  as soon as we exited the structure, we walked right by two beautiful black knit gloves.

we had to stop for a photo, obviously!  upon further inspection, i discovered that they are the kind of gloves with little flaps for the forefinger and thumb that you can secure back with a button if you need to use touch-screens.  someone totally messed up by losing these babies!  i REALLY lucked out this time!

i decided to remove the thumb and index finger flaps and save them for feet.  i stuffed one entire glove to make a body and attached the feet on the bottom.  i cut the wrist off of the other glove and made a large nose out of it.  the rest of the fingers of the second glove form the remainder of the "comb" on the back of the body.  i think it looks a little bit like a cross between woodstock and snoopy... now wouldn't THAT be a weird couple??


please welcome...
Snoopid!

hey yous guys!  first off, i'd like to wish you a happy and healthy new year.  2011 is gonna be a great year, i just know it.  i am pleased to report that my year has gotten off to a beautiful start!

just a few days ago, i saw two gloves within two miles of my house.  another tragedy, of course, for both were in the middle of a busy street and doomed to stay there until being picked up by a gust of wind or a sticky truck wheel.  after frowny-facing for a while i got over it, because life is good and there are other gloves to be had.

two days ago, i was at the pepperdine west LA campus for class.  i was heading down a ramp in the parking structure when i noticed a little black thing on the pavement.  i didn't pay it any mind since i was keen on finding a parking space and getting to class on time.  after class, i hopped in my car and started up the ramp again, glanced sideways at the black being, and drove on.  but wait, was that a thumb i saw?  could it have been a glove?  i had to be sure.  quickly finding an empty spot, i pulled in and hopped out of the car with the motor still running.  oh glee, it was a glove!  a fine specimen, too!  it looked so clean and well-kept, nothing like the greasy gardening gloves i've been finding as of late.

i joyfully snatched up the glove and got back in the car, placing the glove gingerly on my passenger seat.  when i home, i inspected the glove to determine how best to handle it.

to my surprise, the glove was from nordstrom and 100% cashmere!  a beauty like that had to be handled with care, but i wasn't about to shell out the big bucks just to dry clean one glove.  instead, i hand-washed it in cold water and hung it up to line dry.

the glove had a long wrist and a ruffle at the cuff, so i removed the ruffle and fashioned it into a mohawk (i want one so badly).  instead of making the wrist into legs, i decided it would be appropriate to make a glove with an enormous cranium to house an enlarged brain, since i found the glove at a place of education.  the fingers form two arms, two legs, and one long nose.  the tag transformed into a tie to make the glove presentable and interview-ready.

he's one smart cookie, he's one good-lookie.  meeeeet....

Ed!
