Daniel_Picking

Freshly milled daxophone tongues!

Multigrain

Jason calls these things “segmented pieces” but I prefer to think of them as multigrain cardboard loaves.

Jason_Plasters

Jason slaps some plaster onto turned cardboard.

Jason_Glue

At the end of every working day, Jason deliquesces, becoming a viscous, milky fluid.  We pour him carefully into this container and close the lid tightly.  In the morning, he assumes his human form once again.

Jason_Glue2

He has a collection of these, but only one of them is labeled.  Imagine how much trouble we’d all be in if we put him into the wrong container!  Sometimes I feel like he’s daring us to make a mistake.
