It started as an accident: Gabi's relationship with the neighbourhood crows began accidentally in 2011. She was four years old, and prone to dropping food. She'd get out of the car, and a chicken nugget would tumble off her lap. Feeding the crows A couple of years later, Gabi and her sister began setting out food for the crows on a daily basis. The crows would clear the feeder of peanuts, and leave shiny trinkets on the empty tray; an earring, a hinge, a polished rock. Some of the gifts Gabi has gotten over the years There has been ample research done over the past few decades that show that birds, specifically crows, are considerably more intelligent than first thought.

The first project, called the Dragon Coaster, will cost $50 on Kickstarter and will ship next February. “My experience was with making plastic injection molded type electronic devices in Asia. Hocherman wants to add more kits to the mix including the “Skate Park, Maltese Cross, and Amazing Race.” Hocherman is well over his goal of $14,000 and the kits will be made in America using laser-cut wood.

Every costume maker does, they’re fiddily and a bad fitting glove will show up far more than a bad fitting jacket will. Here’s how I make lycra gloves, with a helping hand from my friend- freezer paper! Freezer paper is this stuff. You use it to wrap meat and put it in the freezer.
