Honeycomb Jars Succulent Hanger

Honeycomb Jars Succulent Hanger. Succulent gardens stir my urge to venture to the Great American Southwest and adopt their close relatives, cacti. Pinterest boards could no longer sate my hunger for designed my own green microcosm so I took some clippings, saved my mom's peach jars, and found inspiration in the structurally sound hexagons of honeycombs. Save those sculptural glass jars! Weldbond glue (though I hope to try a boiled vinegar and baking soda glass to glass adhesive next time) and a wire hanger frame hold the jars together. I used activated horticultural charcoal, soilless potting mix, and extra perlite to plant my new specimens. While I hunt for more more cheap or free little plants, I store my old geology/gems collection in one lidded compartment.  A ribbon scrap for hanging and my weird contraption was set to hang in a window.

Travel Chocolate and Sweet Snack Wrapper Memory Board

Los Chocolates y Las Meriendas Dulces: chocolates and sweet snacks. Inspired by my Ecela Peru classmate Derek, who decided to sample all tienda candies, and my former lab adviser Alison, who decoupaged an entire wall of her kitchen with the wrappers of her and her husband's favorite exotic chocolates, I sampled and saved as many cheap sweet things in Cusco, Peru and Antigua, Guatemala as possible. I visited El Choco Museo (see center flyer) in both cities as well. I finally arranged, labeled, and tacked them to this board. Still smells tasty!
