Penny Dropp is an imaginary artist who makes useless objects very carefully. Pick a slot and one falls out.

Everything in the machine

The same twelve objects, with no gravity.

Penny, a woman in paint splattered overalls and a pink striped top, with a paper bag over her head that has a smile drawn on it in red crayon, holding a fat paintbrush

What Penny is made of

Penny went to art school for one semester and left with the scissors. She works out of a dead laundromat in a town she will not name, with a kiln called Gary.

She makes things nobody asked for and finishes them properly. She does not do photographs of her face. She also does not exist, which has not slowed her down.
