Removed the wilted leaves. The existing leaf appears a bit damaged and dehydrated. Watered it this morning to see if it will perk up. Wait to see if it will recover.

World of Succulents–Ledebouria
Originally I planned to put the plants in the greenhouse, but decided to keep them in the studio. Clothespins are more difficult for the Jays to remove.
The plant was purchased at the neighborhood grocery store in 2017.

Knit and Fulled Memory Pieces in Progress
After the pieces dry, code will be added, and an application of a stiffener.
The pieces were mostly loom knitted, partially fulled by hand, then popped in the dryer on high heat with a pair of old sneakers.
Collecting the Seeds to Distribute in My Gardens
Not sure but I think the plants are Tragopogon porrifolius.
The gorgeous silky bits may become potential art material.

Gasteria 1
Gasteria 2
Loom knitted bowl on 72 peg round loom with two strands of wool yarn.
The bowl will be fulled, bit shy of felting for some of the stitch texture to still be seen.
After fulled, the code for Memories are altered to prevent conflict with the present. will be embroidered onto the exterior.
Used three colors of wool to embroider 1 square by 6 square pieces of 1/4″ hardware cloth. Dark brown for dots, tan for dashes, and cream for spacers.
I used oil sticks fix up the 5″ x 7″ panel.
Each letter has four rectangular blocks. To make the rows tidy, I added spacers if a letter had fewer than four dots, dashes, or combinations.
Each letter is a group of four rectangular blocks that are fastened at top and bottom with a safety pin. There are fourteen blocks–thirteen letters and one spacer.
Used thin dark grey sock fiber to bind through the head and loop of the safety pins.
The silver dots are the edges of the hardware cloth.
My hope is to oxidized the safety pins to add the feel of age.
Another Plant in the Package From My Friend
After the board dried a bit, I used Museum Wax to each corner. Hope that it work; that the plant won’t topple off the shelf and become damaged.
