A Minor Thought: GOO

I’m in the workshop making lip balm because I have been INTERVIEWED by my alma mater and have been asked for action photos of me working that AREN’T just terrible soap mistakes or free advertisements for Dunkin Donuts coffee.

Figure 1. Historically accurate apothecary, probably.

My excellent studiomate, Matt Burgos of Inkblots and Snapshots, kindly agreed to hang out and take pics (which will probably become Real Marketing Nonsense soonish), and he managed to capture me doing a particularly good pour into several tiny tins.

…Which is good, because the second batch Did Not Fair As Well.

Figure 2. THAT IS NOT WHERE LIP BALM GOES.

He also missed the gooey bottom of the batch, where the leftover arrowroot that didn’t fully incorporate hangs out and squelches cheerily.

Figure 3. A rogue and a miscreant. (Technically edible.)

And now, god help me: the clean up.
