"I make stuff. …Some people need to exercise everyday. My salvation lies in time spent alone with an x-acto knife and commercial-grade adhesive. During the act of making I experience a kind of blissful loss of the self and a loss of time."

— David Rakoff, “Martha, my Dear”, This American Life

Wall-hanging air plant holder I made for the bf for our anniversary this weekend.

I found this beach rock looking exactly as seen here; the hole in it goes all the way through from the top out to the back, creating a perfect hanging setup. I wrapped it in layers of thread, found a good-sized air plant for it, and am quite pleased.
