Looks like a bunch of junk, yes?

I shall prove you wrong.

See that little mirror on the left? The green one? The one for $2.00?

Here’s a closer look:

After it dried, I sanded it down again. Weird, I know. Don’t worry- I had a plan. I wanted to give it some character and personality. Sandpaper will do just the trick!

Kinda weird to put a mirror on top of a mirror, but I like it. 

Another little treasure I picked up for $0.25 was this guy:
