It’s that time of year again – moving time! One day we’ll find a place that works out for more than a year. But for now, I have to sift through clothes, books, domestic wares and all the etcetera associated with living to see what’s worth shlepping with me again.

This weekend I found myself in the rather ridiculous activity of sorting rocks. Not fancy rocks that might actually be considered valuable, no, but crap I picked up because it was ‘interesting’. (In my defense, they really are interesting – some of them even have fossils!) And this I find is a theme. It has come down to what, of the flotsam I have collected, will be useful to me; and moving time is usually a time of increased artistic output because hey, if I ain’t gonna use it, it’s getting tossed.

So it was with the assemblages above. What to do with mouldering dried things? Put them inside other things! I would like to add as an aside that the butterflies were humanely preserved – I picked them up in their final flutters, and waited until nature had taken it’s course to pin them.

Recently joined the ATX Hacksrspace and have been dabbling in lasercutters and makerbots! Hopefully I’ll have some nifty electronics projects soon.

And then (for no reason other than legos are cool) there is the lego Laser Shark Space Pirate Shark Ship, and the Space Monkey Pirate Space Dinghy, and the Space Pirate Parrot Ship, and the Rocket Space Pony.
