I'm Marissa. I like good drawings, bad people, and speaking exclusively in irony.
Stick with us after the break- we've got some quick tricks to help you reach near this level of terrible, using strategically-placed mirrors and reclaimed wood.

I wasn't satisfied with the gag on Catharsis so I decided maybe I needed more room to work. So I wrote this great book (Maybe you've heard of it?) and carved out room for a box.

My initial thought was to use mirror vinyl to wrap the chipboards but that shit doesn't take a corner at all. So I moved up in price and toxicity to mirrored acrylic sheets. Which of course needed to, itself, be mirrored on its obverse- so the vinyl did reappear. That yielded this.

The cover was very sparse- because, you know, it was about the inset- but the placement needed to be exacting. Thusly, as I was prioritizing the face, the spine and the back got cattywampus.

I also had this worry if I set the endpaper right to the edge of the cutout, it would overly darken the inset. So I cut an interior mirror for the front cover. That was probably silly. And I hate how it looks. But dot dot dot.

Also I bought some foil to maybe do the edges but I liked the garbage streaky look so much, I failed to investigate further. Some day, I suppose.

It's a shame I still didn't get what I wanted, vis á vis the hall-of-mirrors thing, but I was growing increasingly worried I'd need to get into lighting and wiring and dear god, Dear God. I'm not emotionally ready to plug in a book quite yet.

Edit: I just noticed I didn't add a Read More and/or make this a tidy visual experience. That must be tough.

6.1.25 - made a felt shrimp doll pattern and rough guide just in case anyone would be interested in making one, too

I completely forgot to put the scale. Of course you can make them whatever size you want but here's what I worked with:: 12 inch (30cm) chenille stems

Head: 2 3/8 inches Body: 3 1/2 inches

Arm: 3 5/8 inches Leg: 5 3/8 inches

Tail: 2 1/16 inches Tail fan: 1 7/8 inches

☻ Reminder that you can do whatever you want forever so make the shrimp whatever size you want to, nothing has to be exact. My shrimps aren't twins because I made the pattern of Orange Shrimp by tracing Yellow Shrimp because I made her without a pattern.
