I have a great stash of palm nuts. Different sizes and colors. I was wondering what to do with them. Kept looking at them. Touching them. They are such beautiful little bits of nature. <\/p>\n

\"Containers<\/p>\n

\"Palm<\/p>\n

Even if I used patina on the brass wire, I still don\u2019t think I will like wire with the palm nuts.<\/p>\n

I am not sure if the cotton thread will be strong enough to support the weight of 218 palm nuts and 99 pieces of mirror. I will address that problem if it becomes an issue.<\/p>\n

Of course there will be a coded message. This time the message will be: another mirror held up to me. <\/p>\n
