Art Watch and More...


OK, it really isn't art. It's just one more bit of fun with little pieces of glass. Our guest bathroom was in need of a larger looking glass, so I made one. I bought the mdf (wood-ish panel), molding and mirror, itself, then glued it together. Naturally, I did that part ages ago. I finally made the time to finish it last week. I used blues, teals and greens to match the towels. Quite the decorator, I am. And here it is, creating a quiet revolution in bathroom decor. I expect Architectural digest to call any minute.

The "more" part of this entry is more, um, earthy, you might say. I thought it was time to introduce you to the actual inhabitants of the little worm colony that lives in my laundry room. Here you see--well, I haven't named them all, yet--some little red wigglers being quite unhappy that I've disturbed their dark, moist cozy world for something as trivial as a photo. Aren't they cute? Be sure to mag in to see them close-up. And such hard workers! Their job is to eat as much as they can. They love cantaloupe and watermelon, I can tell you. And coffee grounds and tea bags. Not so fond of citrus and onion skins. All that black stuff is castings--it's an in-with-the-good-stuff-out-with-the-good-stuff kind of a bargain!. Fabulous fertilizer! No, there's no odor, in case you were wondering (you were).

Busy weekend coming up! Opera to Belgians to Alpacas. Stay tuned!
