Perhaps it was the rain, rain that has been absent now for over a month, rain that hasn't a hope of greening the end-summer dormant lawn, that irrigated my fertile brain. Who can say? The question was, what to put on that bathroom wall? Stained glass? Too small, too much red and blue. Something ceramic? I thought about those two round bisque faces on the living room wall and then I remembered the glaze chips from the pottery class I took in 1993 through COD. Twenty-eight cookie sized ceramic disks with 28 different glaze combinations. Nail them to the wall in a random pattern! No, too many holes in the freshly painted wall. On small dowels inserted onto a board, with wire connecting the different dowels like spidery framework. Yes! But how? Well, then, on a grid, or a loose frame. Hang them with brightly colored thread from a piece of wood. Here we go again, that darn piece of wood we can never find. The beaver stick! The short one (Mike's) that we got at Sky Lake at URSA shaman camp in 1998. Perfect. Thread? How about the artificial sinew? Too devoid of personality. The embroidery thread - and guess what, we have it in Roy G. Biv colors. Seven colors and 28 disks. Bathmobile speaks for itself.
