"Mass" fairy shrimp production begins!

 




"Mass production" is underway, especially now that the weather has shifted into at least of week of rainy days.

Fairy shrimp are now created by batch processing (cutting, sewing, rodding...) instead of individually.

1. Cutting:


2. "Eyelash" filling:


3. Sewing (While Mom looks on and wonders how I keep from sewing my fingers together)


4. Gluing on the googly eyes!



5. Cutting the individual phyllopods.



6. Assembling the light and spin mechanisms.



7. And now we have a pile of fairy shrimp that won't fit in the van!
