Alexis Sugden is an artist in Vancouver. I'm using "artist" as a brief summary of her extraordinary body of work across multiple media, some of which you'd never expect to see together. Her Etsy shop includes a lot of embroidery, comic books, laser cuts, and paintings. But it is this piece that grabbed my initial attention.

Yes, it's a dancing bat dressed for business. Sugden created this animation sequence by embroidering each frame, then photographing them in sequence.

Sugden has a fascination with bats. Her profile picture, which shows a bat operating a human-appearing robot, reflects a childhood story about how she identified herself to other kids.

This is an ancient jar opener, the opening is tapered so you press down to get a good grip, then use the handles to twist off the top. No need to bang it against the counter!

To continue the pirate thread - it's a pirate peg leg tightener used to securely fasten the prosthesis. When the pirate grunted "arrrgh" it was fastened tight enough.

That is Capt. Hooks peg-leg refinisher. Out on the sea, salt water does a number on wooden legs. Splinters abound and this handy device shaves just the right amount of wood off to put pep back in his step.

Someone thought it would be cute to try circumcising a giraffe and this was the tool they produced. Needless to say, giraffes can trample you as well as bulls. Thus ended the tale of Short Willy Wanka's Traveling Snippet Shop & Herbal Remedies (mostly seen by traveling circuses).
