Other Upcycling in my room
I also have other mini projects around my room.
I usually have to add more and more of these
plastic egg cases for my growing collection of shiny things!
I also decorated a watch tin box to hold business cards:
Upcycling Pencils!
My friend on Facebook posted this website:

I immediately thought of all the not sharpened pencils I have.
Most are the boring yellow kind, others are some that I’ve had since
my dolphin obsession from when I was in middle school.
I never used them because that would mean they wouldn’t exist one day.
Now I had a reason to use them and have them out on display!
Tada!

After that I shall be reading abot WWF opposing iron being dumped in the ocean. Iron is a limited resource that animals in the water need and it is believed that dropping iron will increase phytoplankton blooms that will then absorb carbon dioxide and fight the rise of climate change. Experiments have already been done showing that phytoplankton blooms do arise where iron is dropped but no one knows the consequences if iron is continuously dropped into the ocean.

Life After Land Art
Waking up at noon is beautiful.
Waiting for my trip to Peru, the Keys, and then Peru again (hopefully)
Makes me anxious.
But still searching through the web
I find these amazing ideas that could be part of Land Art for future students
