Works in Progress

Check out the new decor! Who needs a decorator when your homeschool is project oriented? As projects achieve completion, and others are begun, the motif changes regularly, but here is what's beautifying our home right now...

Various types of seeds growing in the window - beans, pine seeds from a pine cone we dissected, and an "amazing sensitive plant."

Clay bowls drying - they'll be painted like Ancient Chinese bowls tomorrow.

Bricks made from mud in our backyard drying out. A couple of weeks ago we made ours similar to the way they made some of theirs back in the Indus Valley. In the summer they would only take two weeks to dry, but since it's autumn, it's taking a little longer.

Clay amulets drying. They'll be painted gold and bejeweled next week, or the week after, then buried with the mummy.

And of course - our chicken mummy is still sitting in its salt. We've changed the salt several times, and we think it'll be ready for wrapping in 2 more weeks.
