SPRING CLEANING.... OMG. Purging the basement (literally and figuratively). LOTS of stuff going to Goodwill and Habitat, opening up space for new creativity. Look what I found in the "finish-this-project" area:

ANKLE ROCKET prototype #1. Percussion instrument with juice lids.

ANKLE ROCKET prototype #2. Another version with juice lids on a coffee can.

HOVERCRAFT prototype #1.  Gravity defying device - bike seat on stick

IN ACTION - the idea is I lean back and kick my feet up, and they stay up! Cuz I'm supported by the stick! (I mean the Hovercraft....)

WHO KNOWS what other treasures will emerge...

For basement purging, we've been referencing two great books:

Breathing Room: Open Your Heart by Decluttering
Your Home by Dr. Melva Green and our good friend and neighbor Lauren Rosenfeld! It's awesome.

AND...
The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo. Much inspiration! Come see the results (musical treasures we've uncovered, like above, and renewed, unstuck energy!) at one of the shows below. California this weekend!
