The CraftNight Shark Tooth Necklace: You’ll be AMAZED at the exciting change in your personal appearance!

The CraftNight Shark Tooth Necklace is molded from bold, brawny plastic! Rugged stuff! Make it beautiful with beads and baubles, select the way you want to look and wear your necklace with self confidence anywhere, anytime.

The CraftNight Shark Tooth Necklace tells people that you have the antidote to our over-mechanized culture. You have the tools and the time to make something with your bare hands. The power of your shark tooth will tell people that you don’t need to fight to prove its value. But if you were to fight them, it would be a really short fight, because you’d take out your nun chuks and halt any cur in their tracks, if they were even worth your time… which they aren’t. Because you’re not interested in fighting, you make stuff. Making stuff isn’t “artisan” it isn’t “froofy” it isn’t a “fad.”

Making stuff means you like QUALITY. Factories aren’t your bag, you’re just into skill, process and knowledge of materials. It’s a pre-industrial revolution mindset, you just know where stuff comes from, you’re not afraid of origins, you invented your own. Your shark tooth is the path to building your own adventure this summer. I’m a little worried that after we all make our shark tooth necklaces, the bar will be full of so much virile, aggressive, self-assured swagger that we might self-destruct into a tornado of machismo. But I think it’s worth it. Don’t you?

See you at the craft table,

TONIGHT! 9pm – midnight or later, at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!
Project: Sweet Watermelon Glitter Craft AND Party Crafts!
$2 Processing fee
$4 Cosmopolitans! The Akbar Cosmo: Perpetual Spirit.
SPECIAL NIGHT: Longtime friend of Akbar, Kathy’s having her “20th Anniversary of Being in LA” party! Music, merriment and lots of fun!

We’re in the thick of summer’s fresh beachy clean bright days, with its concerts, camping trips, swimming pools and ice cream trucks: time for some fruit!

Over 1,200 varieties of watermelon are grown worldwide, and the one I’m offering is variety 1,201. It is decidedly inedible, but it is very glittery, comes with the word “Sweet” to be placed upon it at a jaunty angle, or whatever angle feels most jaunty to you. It’s an ornamental piece, I’ve only got 24, and then I’ve got some exciting party crafts to hand out, it’s going to be a big night!

Hopefully your new summer watermelon ornamental piece will remind you to eat watermelon, which is not a fruit, but a vegetable! It’s related to cucumber, squash and pumpkins. And if you’re trying to keep that svelte figure, you can’t go wrong with watermelon, packed with vitamins A and C, potassium, lots of fiber and NO cholesterol or fat! If you lose your water bottle, do not fret, watermelons were used by explorers as canteens centuries ago, and they’re still pretty good for that purpose!
