I noticed two seemingly-unrelated things last Saturday: that one of the incandescent light bulbs in my vanity had burnt out (yay, I could replace it with a CFL!), and that someone had scuffed up some of the moss between the squares of the sidewalk on my walk back from the gym (aw, poor plants!). I carried home the larger pieces of the moss in my hand, and tucked them into one of my rosemary pots until today, when I made this.

I used this tutorial, even though it says not to use live moss, because I don't care. The hardest part really is getting out all the hardware from inside the light bulb, which is actually a little bit terrifying when you're accident prone like me, because it's an experimentation process on using the correct amount of force to break the glass inside but not shatter the glass outside. I used a beautiful multi-tool that AJ had gotten me for Christmas--the needlenose pliers and the file head worked great for getting the light bulb guts out. I also didn't add the silicon feet, because a bottle cap seems to work just as well as a stand, and the weight of the gravel makes it sit pretty upright anyway (I also have carpeted floors, so it's not going to shatter if it falls off my desk).

Showing a basic interweaving of 2B/F-B/F-B/2F; B/F-B/F-B/F.

Managed with a crochet hook.

Am using a very, very primitive setup for weaving: a green-bent sapling now formed into a U shape, and cross-braces from other sticks lashed to the frame with leather thongs. Works like a charm.

Round laces of v bowes fingerlooped from 30/3 linen added for ties.

Shall show this at "Night Under the Town", and then it'll get donated as a prize.
