Quilt Leftovers

And another fabric bowl. I made this one out of leftover fabric from a quilt. I never know how the fabric pattern will look once it’s wound around the cord and sewn together.

Bowl with pens, pencils, and eraser

Already in use

It’s a good size for my pens, pencils, and eraser; easy to keep track of them this way.

(I found this post in my Draft folder, dated from February. Just a wee bit late.)

Chronophage Clock

On display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science is the Chronophage Clock by John C. Taylor. I wish my photos had turned out a bit better, but here they are anyway. There are blue lights that shine through the clock for the timekeeping. The grasshopper’s legs move the time pieces. Sometimes it moves its head and opens its mouth. I didn’t stand there long enough to determine the timing of those movements.
