They probably look even better when they're slightly moldy.
Pretty soon it will be time purchase the raw materials needed for the year's Halloween creation. I always favor interesting shape and texture versus brute size.

Call me smiley face
What would you call a book about a struggle between a driven man and a huge homicidal cetacean, written in cute little 12x12 graphical icons?
I am thinking that if it were my project I might have gone for something like Hello Moby or Sailor Doom.
