John Oliver Trolls the Vice President.

Ellen: “It’s Number One on Amazon as of right now.”

John Oliver: “Is it? We are actually sold out because we weren’t actually expecting people to buy it. But we are doing a second printing…”

Transforming a Psychological Weapon into a Beautiful Pen-Holder

There’s a group of people who transform guns into jewelry. Likewise, recently, I felt inspired to transform the books that have been used as psychological weapons into folded book art!

Then I had no place to put them! So I ended up clearing the clutter on top of my book shelf too! And then I transformed it into an altar for Love and Creativity!

And finally, I realized I could put the many pens I have into the folded book art. And so, this particular book had its final alchemy as a beautiful pen-holder! Yay! Woohoo!!

The pen-holder you see here used to be “A Course in Miracles”.
