Happy Birthday Martin Luther King Jr.
Pictured: Among his landmark early addresses, King’s speech that day, known as “Give Us the Ballot,” urged President Eisenhower and members of Congress to protect the most basic rights of democracy for all American citizens:
“We come humbly to say to the men in the forefront of our government that the civil rights issue is not an ephemeral, evanescent domestic issue that can be kicked about by reactionary guardians of the status quo,” King said in his powerful, rich preacher’s voice. “It is rather an eternal moral issue which may well determine the destiny of our nation…. The hour is late. The clock of destiny is ticking out. We must act now, before it is too late.”

Production of 1,000 Day of the Dead inspired hair clips. This is a small fraction of the process. Set at 15 seconds between shots then 15 frames per second, which comes out to over 19 hours. There are about 500 skulls shown here. Not shown is the kneading of the polymer clay, weighing it out, molding it, baking it, glazing the final product, wrapping, packaging, labeling and shipping. The whole project took about 6 weeks and most days we worked 8-14 hours. No longer selling handmade ones but looking into getting them manufactured. Sam worked with me the whole time. Thank you a thousand times! And also the biggest thank you ever to anyone that pre-ordered one. A thousand in 4 days, are you joking? You’re the best.
