Well, I committed to the thing. I bought the sibling capsule vending machine to @nonasuch ’s, after almost a month of waffling about it. The goal is to have a cross between a wunderkammer and an automat. Black light. Potentially cursed toy surprises… “toy” being a flexible term.
If any of this sounds cool to you, and you’d like to help with set-up costs, donations are appreciated! Paypal.me/strangehours with whatever works. (I lost my income source for this month, so I’m left to pull it together by bits and pieces instead of all at once.) <3
A cursed object vending machine possibly the most absurd thing I’ve done for my business yet, but I’m fairly certain that the ability to release serotonin is the real selling point here.
so excited to see how yours turns out! and very glad to have more weird vending machines in the world
Ooh, sweet! As if I need more reasons to order patches and pins … all of these potential objects look amazing, like things to work into pieces of jewelry and spell foci.
Can I just…like…pay you to ship me one of each?
@deliriumcrow - Etsy only offers up yea so much potential cursed-object-toy-surprises in bulk lots, but it’s a good starting point for a mood board. The minerals choices are curated to my own tastes I must admit, but it’s not complete. My list of an ideal mix has more of a mudlarking vibe to it, or maybe a really good cache of things a crow has been hoarding. (Weirdly, if you make a blind box fancy enough, people will want one just to know what’s inside.)
@daemonvatis - I’d have to do a cost estimate of how many eggs would be feasible to stuff in a box before it’d be worth it to pay for shipping? (I have not ordered eggs yet, see previous “I have to pull it together in bits & pieces.”) If you’re in the US, I will have the Cursed Object vending machine at my Oddities & Curiosities Expo gigs this year. Probably easier to seek it out in person if that’s available to you. Strange Hours Atelier will be at the following:
