Today my ebay order of mongolian horse hair arrived! So I made a fancy horsehair bow. It’s an awful bow, of course, and I have no idea how to use a bow anyway, but what the heck: here’s what it sounds like on the rotten stick tension guitar and the rotten stick electric guitar.

(I got to spend some time combing horse hair. Instrument making has more in common with My Little Pony than I knew!)

i’m off for fun and frolicking later this a.m., so i got up early, and got lots done!!  listed the DIY lantern kit on etsy,    and make a heap more clothespins / clothespegs.  My favorites have always been the musical note ones:   

More craftiness much later!

I added a fingerboard to the rotten stick electric guitar for easier fingering– it’s still only long enough to play about 5 notes. And I made the worst bow ever from another rotten stick and some waxed string. Together, they sound like this.
