34: I totally put a bird on it!

Portlandia. Watch it. Period. Then, go put birds on stuff. 

Odd little Aqua Gems for plants. I made a hanging light bulb planter, WITH A BIRD ON IT!!! 

Oddly this makes me hungry for fish eggs....

Gotta have a little color in your life!

All hydrated and colored, they actually look pretty cool. If the sun would come back, I'd show you what it looks like in the window. Give it a few more weeks, I'll see what I can do!

33: This Way

Did I happen to mention I love sharpies?

32: Eye see you!!

Do you remember that movie, where there was a missing person, and the detectives or whoever was looking for the person found all all of these digital printouts, like pages and pages of zeros and ones, and they had them all laid out on the living room floor to try to figure out what it was all supposed to mean, and the one detective was looking at it trying to figure it out and the guy was going up stairs to look for evidence and glanced over the rail from above and saw the printout made a huge face in the zeros and ones?  I can't remember the name of it, but for some reason this picture reminds me of that.

31: AND red shutters!!!

I 'frosted' the glass so you couldn't see the naked old man who lives here.

30: All day for THAT?!

 

The Restore is our Habitat for Humanity store here in town. Since finding it, I will go there before I head over to the Depot to pay full price and get some shitty service. Last trip, I found these light bulbs. I thought they were super cool and they were only a buck. 

I scoured the web looking for directions to take it apart and found these instructions. After donning my safety glasses and gloves, I set too it. I don't have pictures of my trials (there were a few) BUT this is the outcome. 

No idea right? 

How about now? No? 

Okay, after breaking the large bulb above, I broke an even larger one. Going back to the basics, I tried a regular 40 watt light bulb. That worked superbly. Until I tried soldering the hanger on. The glass heated up too much and cracked. The I found these old bathroom bulbs. The shape wasn't as cool as the larger ones, but it's still neat. I had two of them done, but alas, only one made it to the end.

I'll have to remember to let it dry out all the way after rinsing and before putting the dirt in next time. Because honestly, that looks like a retarded muddy mess. I'm hoping the dust settles in there and the plant grows. Now please excuse me as I go shop vac glass shards from the other 5 bulbs. 

I am going to try again with the large bulbs. I'll keep you posted!
