 Hey guys There's at least two of you out there somewhere How are you all? So I hope you had a great a great weekend whether you celebrate Easter or something else I'm just sitting here with this morning with my beer mug full of tea and Playing with a few things I thought I would just pop on live why not so before I left to go to Las Vegas I Started gathering a bunch of old electronic small appliances and things from around the house that are no longer functioning I know I've seen Shannon Green many times in the past disassemble things to save parts And I think it was Kathy Rose or somebody before I left that did the same thing So I was gonna Take all of these things apart none of the whom work anymore Hey at Bex creations. Good morning While I was in Las Vegas, I want did a lot of wandering around with Michelle from Lady Blue Studios and Usually when I'm traveling I collect one or two smashed pennies from wherever I happen to be and I just use heavy Gel medium to stick them in my journal this time because Michelle is a smashed penny collector I have a lot of them So I think they're gonna be added to my pieces and parts pile. I think at some point. I'm going to Drill holes in them and maybe put them on a journal charm or something. I know aren't they great I even saved the one that is smashed incorrectly Which in itself is interesting so they're probably going to go in this box of stuff that I'm going to do this morning we went to Red Rock Canyon and I got This copper coin with a turtle on it. That's a collector coin and Then I also got This little thing from Red Rock Canyon this little other little silver coin thing. I Of course, you know Aaron if you've seen Aaron from imperfect impulses video. He was talking about meeting up with people in Las Vegas. Yes, that was me It's okay. He didn't need to mention my name or not, but It his name is going to come up in my video because of this little thing a zipper pole so yes, we convinced him into picking up trash in the middle of downtown and You know if I could have fit those symbols on my suitcase I would have brought him home But we convinced him he needed to have them and we want to see what he makes with them But later on I was at in a store parking lot with the girls and I found this broken zipper pole Which of course I had to pick up so that's going to go in the box this morning. Oh Thank you. Yeah, aren't there some pretty desert wild flowers out there and Then I also picked up a bunch of these souvenir poker chips Now I had all of these from previous Las Vegas trips and these are mostly from the McDonald's Store McDonald's. I'm not McDonald's store. Holy cow M&M world. I need more to caffeine I'm telling you these are mostly from M&M world And I've had these from previous trips this time. I picked up some from Walgreens actually So I think at some point also these are going to go in this parts box And at some point I'm going to drill holes or something in these and make them into some kind of a charm or I Don't know a bracelet or something So I've got all these kind of random bits and I dug up up Box from the garage It's gonna be like random Chunky bits box. I think is what it I'm gonna call it random chunky bits. I kind of like that random chunky bits All right So I've got a few different things here and I've got some tools oops All right, because I don't know what I'm gonna need got my reading glasses so I can see what I'm doing We're gonna start on the small one So none of these pieces are functioning like I said, these are all broken electronics even the adding machine and So this is from one of my two daughters two wireless mice that don't work anymore Plus she says they're a little bit too little girly for a 21 almost 22 year old She's probably right but anyway So I don't know this is the like wireless antenna thing wireless. Yeah receiver There may be nothing in here, but let's find out If you're gonna do this the point is not to hurt yourself. So keep your fingers out of the way if you're gonna like Use a hammer or an exacto knife or something please take all caution and Of course these pieces can be used in mixed media, but I'm think I'm more interested in using some of these pieces in like Journal charms and stuff. Whoops Okay, so the plastic is garbage. I'm not gonna save that but look at that inside that little antenna thing Some interesting bits in there. I think I kind of like it just the way it is So we're gonna save that and pop that in the box. That was easy. That was easier than I thought it was gonna be So now if I'm gonna start doing this now you really can't throw anything away at my house because you know We were already saving packaging labels and everything and before anybody asks Yes, Aaron from imperfect kiln pulses is as nice a guy in real life as he seems to be on YouTube FYI Very nice guy. All right. We spent a lot of time laughing which was good Okay, so here's some batteries which can't hey Michael. How are you? Can't you mix media with them? But can't even dispose of them in California in the regular garbage. We have to put them into special Special garbage. So we're just disassembling some stuff this morning chit chatting about the Las Vegas trip Which was a lot of fun. It was like all of us had known each other for ever And yes, I have glasses on I have my reading glasses on but they will protect things from popping up into my face Plus I can kind of see what I'm doing So I have all these little tiny screwdrivers and things I can use on this from when I used to be a licensed dispensing optician, but also like this one is from my grandmother's stash of Crafty supplies that she had when she passed That I inherited Well, there's a screw under there You know sometimes you just instead of breaking it just take the screws out Holy cow So I think all of us are still recovering. I don't think we got much sleep while we were gone Kind of seeing is good, right? That's what I thought DD. I thought kind of seeing would good would be good I'm killing mice. Yeah, actually these mice are already dead. They don't work very well and my daughter. These are my daughter's Mice I did not know she was amassing a collection in her room And she went and bought herself a new one because these weren't working very well and she said they were too little girly for her to keep using at 20 almost 22 years old and I Just kind of rolled my eyes to that and I she was going to throw them away and I said, uh Can I have them? How many do you have she says I have two of them. Do you want them both? I said, uh, yeah I had just watched Kathy's video where she disassembled mice and you know, shannon I know does stuff like this all the time too And I wanted to take some of this stuff and You know use some of the parts to make maybe some jewelry charms or journal charms or something It's kind of a neat little thing I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but it's cool Look at these this looks like a bug to me. There's his two eyeballs That could be interesting. So he's going to go in the box There's no sleep in Vegas. No, and I'm adding it too. We're going to call it the chunky bits box I got some of these smash pennies in Las Vegas And I had some of these poker chips from past trips in Las Vegas and I picked up a few more And you know We didn't only make I'll put this box here so you can kind of see it on camera We didn't only make air and pick up trash. I was you know, I found this zipper pull in a store parking lot I had to have that so You know So we're going to call it the chunky bits box and my desk is a disaster and I have more probably more chunky bits to add to this but I thought I would just go through it one thing at a time and maybe do it on camera I think there's a battery in here. How do I get the battery out? Up there it is couple batteries see So make sure if you're doing this and you're removing batteries and you live in an area like I do where Batteries or hazardous waste that you dispose of them properly of course It just seems wrong to break this but it doesn't It doesn't work. See we all have chunky bits, don't we? I just was you know, I'm buying them at the salvage store I should be getting them for free from things that break around the house. How silly has that been buying them Come on. Oh sucker is glued down really well I do have my little hammer out if I needed it was going to try not to hammer things on camera I thought that might be bad. So when I got back I didn't need exercise when I got back from um Las Vegas My ipad died I guess that it was its last hurrah So I am watching the comments on my new ipad air 2 which I wasn't planning on buying right now, but I I don't know if I can do without an ipad I'm getting exercise right now Michael. I gotta tell you I gotta tell you okay. Did you guys hear that? A whole bunch of the rhinestones came off and they went everywhere. Hopefully they didn't go in my tea I don't think they did. Holy cow That was fun We're awake now. Oh, yeah, I've got one of those the bolt bucket When my father-in-law passed away He had this just big random box full of bolts and stuff that we inherited and took home We still have it and when I need parts sometimes my husband's kind of giving me free rain to go out there and take whatever I want Holy cow. That was messy I hope none of these went in my tea. I'll be drinking rhinestones later Yeah, the little pc board b board looked like a ladybug didn't it? I think it did All right, what's inside this one? I guess From watching the other videos all mice are not created equally. So they're all a little different inside Let's see how we can get into this once more Something's breaking Yeah, that's how I felt My husband's never going to use all of the nuts and bolts in his bolt box. Are you kidding me? Have enough free eternity But this way I can get some free pcb boards and stuff too without having to go to a salvage store to buy stuff Because we do have those I live in the heart of silicon valley We have computer salvage places I can go get stuff like this from but if I have broken appliances Why am I not just using them? Because everything's got computer chips in it Uh, I am uh pacific standard time in california. It is one o'clock about just after one o'clock here. It's 111 That's the little lab ten a thing. Huh? Okay, well, we're gonna throw that away Got it. It's kind of fun. You know get your frustrations out Disassembling things and giving them a good whack. This one has like a little light bulb inside of it. I guess the other one must too No, it doesn't Nice that sounds delicious I don't think the family ate anything healthy while I was gone I came home and the fridge the refrigerator looked exactly at how it was when I left Yeah, my you know, I think men just like tools Pop this off just if you're gonna do this try to do it without you know Bleeding on anything bleeding is not the Goal here. Yeah, I think they did lots of takeout. I know at least once he did because he told me he did But there was no you mean the fridge looked the same as when I left and there was no vegetables or anything So First thing we did when I got home was besides go buy the new ipad. Let's go to the grocery store. Let's cut this wire There's two little springs in here. I'm gonna want to get out It's been nice here in california and of course in nevada too It was nice Except for the day that it was really sunny, but windy. Oh my god. I thought it was going to blow us all off the sidewalk It was so windy got it Still a spring inside there. Let's see if we can get it out. I want that spring people So I've got this direct TV remote. There we go. It stopped working And I knew it was in the garage when I decided to do this Husbands that I could have it Because it's a paperweight now Because it's a paperweight now Good for you My blood sugar has been borderline high, you know for a while. I don't I'm not diagnosed with diabetes Or even pre-diabetic, but it's high a little higher than it should be so Unless I'm on vacation. I try to watch what I eat and it's not getting any worse I think getting a little bit better, which is good Well, let's see if we can I wonder if we can pop these I want these buttons Do they come off? Maybe I have to open it first Oh I see Screws, I don't know if this screwdriver might be too big though Yeah, right. I think the rhinestones already landed in my tea It's a good thing on my glasses on I'd probably miss some of these screws There we go. Got it. It's coming out So yeah, at least I came home to a clean house and it wasn't disgusting and filthy. Thank goodness Just had an empty refrigerator Okay, direct TV really doesn't want you to get the thing apart. I took the screws out that didn't help. Oh, wait I think I found it in Yeah, for most of us getting your health under control is not, you know, yes It's always a matter of what you eat, but for most of us who are artists It's more of a matter of lack of exercise That doesn't mean you shouldn't watch what you eat But you need to make sure you go out and get some exercise too Oh, that's pretty cool. The buttons are like on a piece of rubber Alrighty. No idea D Maybe some journal charms Maybe some jewelry Some of them like this bit is rubber and I'm thinking this might be nice to Use to make impressions like on the jelly plate This whole thing feels like rubber with the buttons on it. It's all one piece If I can get it out, I'm sure grandma did not expect that I would be doing this with her little screwdriver Shit's popping out all over the place Sorry You guys might have to Watch my found language on the live broadcast because I think that the girls are a bad influence I came home swearing like a sailor not that I haven't been known to do that otherwise, but I kind of got out of the habit My husband thinks it's funny Usually I just tell my husband, can you take this apart for me? But I thought it would be fun to do it myself for a change It's just I got a pry that cover off. I'm sure there's probably a hidden screw somewhere. I don't know about Or a clip or something So there's something called a jelly plate. It's a um a printing plate that you can spread ink on or paint And you can use it to create patterns on paper or on your journal pages and it's spelled G e l l i There's a million youtube videos on it So you might want to look it up. Oh good. So see I won't scare you That's good to know Oh, there we go part of it came off Yeah, see screws I knew there had to be hidden screws in there somewhere Alrighty, let's get them out Yeah, I used to swear like a sailor before I had kids and had a daycare business and that Forces you to clean up your language And then I did the whole youtube channel thing and I wasn't sure I should be seen on camera swearing so I got out of the Habit um we have direct tv But you um we bought this remote and it's no longer functioning And so we got a new one and they don't want the old one back. So I get to play with it Yeah, you have kids and that you know makes you clean up your language So my chunky bits box is not going to be nearly as full as um cathy's when she showed hers on camera Or shannon, I'm sure has a massive collection And it's fun to buy bits and pieces from like american science and surplus or if you have a local salvage place But it's more more fun if you can get them free and not spend any money Yeah, you know my husband asked me while I was in vegas if I you know watched any tv I said nope. We didn't have the tv on not once I don't know that he believed me That's pretty cool Now see I could see this take all the some of the back pieces off And you know cut this into chunks It would be um it make interesting pieces in some jewelry or something or it could even make an interesting bookmark Hey angie, how are you? We're disassembling things this morning All right, so now I have this thing They before I got hurt at american greetings I did a lot of arts and craft shows every year and back in the days before we had The square thing or the I have the paypal one which is a triangle that you put on your smartphone You know you rang up all your sales on an adding machine And so this was my adding machine I used and It's no it's no longer functioning. So it is trash And again just like with the batteries because I live in california anything with electronics it has to be disposed of In a particular way you can't just throw it in the garbage so I um This was there was all these things were kind of in a pile in the garage and I'm like, hmm Why don't I just disassemble them and keep the bits? And I can throw the plastic away You know every year uh becky I have a birthday and my mother who is Let's see 22 years older than me she was 22 and she had me so I'm 52 so she's 74 Every year she called me and says how old are you and then I tell her she says shit. I'm getting old She's just And it just goes by so fast I agree with that my daughter's 21. She'll be 22 soon. I can't believe it Yeah, I got a physical I have to go too soon It's gotten to where I hate the doctor It's probably a part of getting older I used to not mind going because I wasn't sick I can't stand going They always find something wrong even if you feel okay This time instead of prying it open without taking the screws out How about if we try to take the screws out first If I can these are deep in there. I might need a different screwdriver Garbage that suckers in there good the screwdriver is too fat to get down there I'm the oldest and I'm always the one that's responsible for everything. I I know I keep telling them you're all over 40 Why am I still responsible for shit? You're all adults with your your own families Stop calling me They just laugh and tell me I'm the oldest. It's my responsibility No, okay, so You want to take all precautions with doing this you want to make sure you're Keeping your fingers out of the way sharp instruments out of the way and unplug them That's a good point Angie. Thank you. Unplug them. They should be non functioning Unplugged electronics Don't work on stuff that's still plugged into an outlet for god's sake and avoid, you know Keep keep your fingers out of the way Well, there's a battery right there. Let's take that out. I can't get these other two screws out That's a cool piece With any arts and crafts project you should take precautions But especially when you're disassembling things like this You really want to be careful to Be mindful of sharp objects Have things unplugged Make sure what you're disassembling. Nobody wants and is really non functional Don't go grab the remote from the family room and and disassemble it the husband might get annoyed at that Come out the other way. All right I'm gonna have to go run and go get one of my other screwdrivers. I'll be right back back All right Yes, I am Even when I Am sewing I wear eye protection Even if it's just my reading glasses something in front of my eyes because I have even had sewing needles pop and fly up towards my face So always take precautions So that's a good idea Angie also like garage sales You know if you buy something that way who cares if it works or not because You're gonna take it apart. Anyways, it doesn't matter Ha ha No needles in the eyeballs are not fun. So I yeah, definitely you should when you're doing things like this You should always have some kind of protection on your face over your eyes No problem. Welcome Why am I killing this thing? So I these are all non functioning electronics from my house They were in a pile in my garage Um waiting for proper disposal. I live in california. So you can't just toss stuff out in the garbage can And I was walking watching uh, Kathy rose. I think Um, and I know Shannon does this too where they disassemble stuff and save the pcb boards and stuff for other mixed media art projects and they have kind of a chunky bits box So I thought, you know, I should start my own chunky bits box And disassemble all those things in my garage that aren't working anymore To use a mixed media art maybe make some Um Journal terms and stuff out of some of the bits Like on here on this pcb board, you know, you could take some of these little circuit things off And glue them to things or if you have some What do you call the jewelry? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have some they're flat metal on the back and they have a little tiny lip on the edge And then you could put some of these little tiny electronic parts in them and float it into some resin Maybe with an inspirational word or something You can use some of this wire in jewelry or journal charms or key chains I don't think I want this thing But I'm gonna leave it on there right now Yeah, I don't do that. That sounds like that hurts Oh, thanks. Yeah, it's not my original idea Um, but I've been seeing, you know, Shannon green does this a lot And then and I knew that Then I saw Kathy rose Taking stuff apart on her channel before I went to los vegas And thought well that would be much cheaper than buying stuff from like american science and surplus or um going out to the salvage store to buy stuff which is Drive a little bit of a drive from my house. I live in silicon valley you know computer central basically for the whole world but That doesn't mean we have a salvage computer salvage place on every corner so And when I do go I usually spend too much money and this will cost me nothing Exactly these bits would definitely make a cool journal cover. You could epoxy them to a journal cover. They would be very cool Okay, these are all connected so they're all going to have to be unconnected Wire cutters I should have gotten my big metal snips out, but I don't want to go running back out to the garage again Ah got it that piece is kind of cool. No idea what I'm going to do with that And I'm tempted to get rid of it, but I think I'm going to save it It's kind of fun to just play with All right, let's get this out. Okay, cool. You know these pcb boards, especially you could um You know clean some of the sticky up pokey outie bits That's a technical term, right? Um And you know glue them to a p a substrate like a nice piece of balsa wood or chipboard thick chipboard Epoxy them down and they would make an interesting journal cover Oop more screws Hidden screws. That's not very nice. I wasn't going to come on camera today I was going to clean all the stuff up from my trip I've got my the other side of my desk that way it's literally covered with stuff But I just thought I would you know Not do that today Ha We're getting there Whoa, there go all the buttons. Did you see that? Okay, let's just get all those buttons out I'll put those and Let me get some fell on the floor I thought some fell on the floor Oh, yeah, there they are They would be very cool coasters I like that idea Especially if you have big ones like this one now look at this. This is another piece of rubber from under the buttons But it would make a cool printing plate another button. Let's get these disconnected from each other Next time you all remind me to go get my big metal snips because this is some of this would be easier with those They could just cut shit in half Yeah, you could do definitely you could do sculptures with bits and pieces like this And you know some kind of sculptures would be fun Little robot wall hangings or some kind of 3d pieces Would be a lot of fun Make sure after you do this that you really wash your hands really well Um, you don't know if they've used lots of lead solder or something like that And you don't want to like go eat lunch with lead on your hands Kind of wondering if this screen comes off Yeah, so you could make all kinds of fun stuff out of this There are some fabulous artists out there that do fun stuff with things like this Whoa, I was wondering what was under there. See I'm also curious Yeah, Shannon green did her her mask out of they it was bits like this But she got the bits at american science and surplus. I think mostly she had some I think in her stash Well, that's kind of a cool piece It's glass I'm gonna say that So there we go So now I have my own my own chunky bits box To do what I whatever I want with probably make some jewelry with I've got some batteries to dispose of in a free roll of paper To do something with So look around your house. You might have some bits and pieces you can do something like this with Like this is a big one. You could you could definitely, you know Get rid of some of the pokey outie bits and glue the rest of it down to a piece of felt and use it for a coaster It would actually be interesting. This is a cool pattern I've got a lid here somewhere. Here we go So there's my chunky bits box now because I came home and I had to buy a new ipad Because if you weren't here for the beginning of the broke broadcast, um, then you don't know that I came home from las vegas and uh My ipad my ipad was fine when it was there and I came home and it was broken So one of the things I had to go out when I came home right away is um Um Buy a new ipad So I have all of these these are for ipad two. I have back covers And then the magnetic thing that goes on the front I have two I have this one with the purple this purple one is Pretty worn, but the back is in good condition I have this one with a pink Again, the magnetic cover is kind of worn, but the pink is in great condition. These are my original artwork And then I have this brand new smart cover These are all for ipad two if somebody out there can use them. Please private message me On facebook or email me at my email address artist at gene of the errands.com and michael. I hope you feel better um take it easy and um Yeah, you know some of these bits and pieces you could definitely do that you could take this piece And do some kind of interesting little palette thing with it This would be fun to paint with I think it would just make fun impressions with the paint And I didn't you know who would have think thought this little piece of rubber would be in there I had no idea So you never know what you're going to find and where you're going to find it So if anybody can use these let me know I don't want to just donate them to goodwill Unless I have to And I think that's it for this morning. I just thought I'd come on and chat while I was disassembling stuff There's going to be a few videos coming up some of them with footage in them from las vegas um We went to viva las vegas stamp. So we were there um We visited with erin from imperfect impulses while we were there We did a lot of shopping while we were there. They have a really great store in las vegas area That we like called tokyo discount. There's actually three of them And we liked it so much. We ended up going to all three of them um So there'll be some Haul kind of haul videos. I'm not huge on haul videos, but we did get some really great stuff I want to share with you guys so you know what to look for when you're out Doing your shopping in your area and give you some ideas of what you could look for that you might really Find you like using I had a really good time I always like going to las vegas and I love it there Well, I hope your doctor visit goes well and you know, it'll be on youtube later I'm not sure yet if we're going to continue with the paint swatches if we're going to just paint a picture We may just paint a picture and then continue with the swatches next week Because I do have more paint to swatch and spectrum noir If you didn't see me on social media right before I left vegas literally the day before I left I got all these from them So we're going to do a review. I already had some spectrum noir markers. So we're going to do a review of them These are their aqua markers so That'll be coming up soon And I yeah my desk is it I said that already you denied my desk is a disaster I also got some molds while I was in vegas and I'll be trying Ann Williamson, Nancy vasting and a few other people have done the modeling paste Like lace things from these and I got a few molds Cindy udder and I both got molds while we were in vegas. So we will be I will be trying that in fact I may go ahead and Put some in these today and because I want to let them dry for a couple days And maybe wednesday will pull them out and see what happens I have a couple of different kinds of modeling paste. So I know Ann Williamson used deco art I have golden too. So i'm not sure which one's going to be better But yeah, if any of you out there have an ipad 2 and you'd like a case with a smart cover Like I said, I've got the purple one. I've got this one with the pink cover And then I've got a blue cover um So pm me Because I don't know what I'm going to do with them now. I have an air 2 now. They don't fit With a boring black cover because that's what I had All right, you guys go out today. Don't forget to do the most important thing besides look for fun stuff to take apart And start a chunky bits box And definitely, you know, these chunky bits will be coming up in future projects Like I said, I want to take the smash pennies that I put in here and make probably the poker chips That I put in here and along with some of the other parts and I think I want to start making some journal charms and stuff. So Look for that to come in future projects But while you're out looking for things to take apart Please take precautions Make sure you have eye protection on make sure the item is unplugged that you take the batteries out If there are batteries in it first thing that you dispose of anything like the batteries or other hazardous waste You may come across properly And that you don't hurt yourself keep your fingers out of the way I'm in central california Um, I'm near I'm an hour south of san francisco I'm in san jose california And make sure you have the fan, you know permission if you know, don't go grabbing the remote out of the family room and disassembling it Or the computer off the computer desk. I think your husband might have or a partner may have an issue with that If you try to do that, I don't think it's going to go over well I really don't I did get a couple of more molds Let's see We went to hobby lobby in las vegas which we didn't have to do because um, you know, we have that here, but That's okay. So I got these two cake molds And then cindy, um shared these with me were really big molds and she shared these bits with me It was a blast Um, that's a good question and we're here to chat so we can do that as long as you want so um My favorite Okay, so that's that's a complicated question. So if you're talking about my favorite, um Arts and craft store Hobby lobby in morgan hill. There is one more hobby lobby like in dublin or something. I think but I live near the morgan hill store 20 minutes 15 20 minutes in traffic. So hobby lobby um why they have the best selection of Mixed media and fine art supplies Plus I can breathe in the store um, they don't have lots of potpourri or other things that make me wheeze Um, and they have great ventilation. So I don't have to wear a mask in the store Um, so that's my favorite arts and crafts store We do have michaels very close by in johans and I will go into them if i'm looking for something specific I know they have there but Usually my my stop is hobby lobby now my favorite fine art store If i'm going to stay closer to home Is lens art in santa cruz l enz They've been in business since I think 1969 They remind me very much of a store that we went into when we were in um, las vegas called desert art supply um, it's the mom and pop place stuff to the gills with um, arts and crafts art supplies anything that you could possibly think of lens art has And desert art in las vegas is the same thing now lens art only has one location in santa cruz When we were at desert art supply We heard from the owner at the one store that we went to that they have a second location I didn't find out where that was but i'm going to be the next time I go i'm going to find out where it is i'm going to go there um We do have university art in san jose They don't have as big a selection as lens art of things I prefer lens art There is palace art and office supply in santa cruz.
