Gourds
My thesis project involves reconstructing a number of "space probes" using organic materials. Thanks to a violent windstorm two weeks ago, now I have plenty of twigs and branches. However, I was still missing gourds.
This problem has now been solved. Amish Gourds turns out to be a massive supplier of dried, cleaned gourds. I wish there was such a thing as translucent, gourd-shaped containers. These would be perfect for the luminaires. I guess I will have to make myself, somehow.
Now to start building...
