Awake

I'm almost positive no one reads this anymore, but that's ok!

I made a new piece tonight.

I have these little desk lamps I got for $2.50 at Stop&Shop. I bought 5 or 6 of them. Who knows when you need a lamp.

Anyway, these lamps sport the energy saving light bulbs that satisfy my green-guilt. I have them strategically positioned all over my room to provide versatile and comforting lighting.

My desk is right on the window that gets the best sunlight, so that's where my plants go. And, incidentally, where my main lamp goes at night.

The other day, though, I bought some herbs plants (rosemary, bay and thyme) in little pots. I put them on my desk so they can get the light they need, but the lamp took up too much space. So, I figured I could stamp the lamp to the wall above the plants so I can get the same illumination at night without robbing the plants of precious desk real estate. I used regular thumb tacks to post the plastic base to the window frame. All was well.

Then I thought, these lamps have little trays for loose change and pencils and other odds and ends. Flipping this tray 90 degrees vertically makes this tray useless. So, I glued some loose change, thumb tacks, other odds and ends to the base as if I'd just tossed them there in a hurry. Only the objects are defying gravity. Weee!

I'm waiting for the glue to dry. I'll post pictures on facebook when it's up.
