Project Detour - A Small Centerpiece

This morning The Wife brought me a small blue jar she likes


along with a tub full of doodads and said "do something!".

So, even though she also said, "no rush, whenever you have time.", like any man that has been successfully married for over 40 years, I dropped everything


and did something - - -

Especially since she had to go to town this morning for more supplies

to keep her tore-up arm bandaged (feral cat that panicked), and she's always grouchy when she gets back from having to be around people.

Final step, assuming she signs off on it,


is to put a 50/50 mix of water & glue, with a few drops of soap to make it flow better, over the copper-coated bb's I half-filled the jar with, to lock everything down.

Uh-oh, I hear her coming down the driveway - wish me luck!

  1. OMG!!! That's incredible!!!! WAY COOL!!!! What'll you do w it?

    What happened w the cat?? Those're some *nasty* scratches. PLEASE take extra care. We've had a couple of vad instances over the years when cat injuries weren't given due respect.

    Mega congrats on your project!!!

    1. By necessity most everything we have is compact, so though small we can use it as a centerpiece, or a shelf decoration, or The Wife can just put it on her worktable out in her barn.

      The cat got startled, The Wife was in its way, and it panicked. Those are all from claws, no teeth. Because of the way we live, and where we live, we keep our tetanus shots up to date and have a fair supply of dressings and antibioti creams on hand. Still looks bad but it's well on its way to healed now.
