36: Mirror, Mirror


I'm on a mirror kick lately. This one has a frame made my husband. He nearly traded it away at one point but it's one of my favorite pieces and I wouldn't let it go. The items shown in the mirror are his odds and ends, too. The tall white object in the background is an art school project, a tiny chair attached to a long rope ladder and balanced atop a rocket ship. The colorful sculpture next to the rocket was an exchange he made with one of his instructors. And thank goodness! The instructor took a lovely but huge steel piece off our hands that would have been a nightmare to lug around. The black and white piece on the left is a vase he made in middle school, while the item at the front is a rubber band ball he made from scratch.


Whenever I empty or load the dishwasher with my daughter around, she pulls out the flatware and runs off with the cups. So I try to redirect her with a distraction. Since toddlers are such fans of imitation (or mirroring, wink wink), I'll often pull out the kids' collection of toy dishes. I love the light coming through this masher, but here's another image that shows the items involved a little more clearly.

  1. I still covet that sculpture made by the instructor. I need to ask K how to start a rubber band ball. We have a ton of them around here.

    I spot a whole lot of circles in that masher. Happy Pi Day!

  3. Didn't even think about the circles in the masher. Funny. That's my eldest niece's birthday, so it sort of trumps Pi Day at our house.
