I have this cool plexiglass shelving whatever on my desk at work. I originally found it in a thrift shop, knew it would be useful but dag nabbit, never DID find a good use for it. Till one day I saw the clutter on my work desk and TA DAH I found a use for it.
So there it sits, its cubby holes filled and all along the top are the doo dads and gimcracks that make me smile.
Starting left to right is a large wood jasper angel, next comes the smaller red aventurine angel , a tiny opalite pig, a larger than the pig but smaller than the other two angels, angel.
I have a faux netsuke of a girls carrying a bundle on her back. It's some kind bone or something. Her partner is a kneeling guy made of jade. Next comes the blown glass humming bird in flight over some morning glories (this was $1 at Walgreens at Christmas),then a dog netsuke made of boxwood, a trio of pigs, another dog figurine made of who knows what but it reminds me of Rocco, an opalite dog, yellow jade rabbit, black big with an ear of corn, aqua glass god, a white cats' eye ram, a red ox, a pair of salt an peper shakers of cats with accordians, one of my mini poly clay owls, and even smaller wooden carved owl and on the end one of my bigger polyclay angels.
I have quite a collection. Now each day I place them nice and straight facing out at me and each morning I come in to find that they have all moved. Not much usually but this morning the angels especially were facing every which way. Some of the others were turned slightly but these angels looked like they had been dancing the jig all night long. I don't know what's moving them. The mouse we once had is long gone.... I've left out a peanut butter cup for weeks now that remains untouched.
They must party every night once we're gone for the day and just forget to get back into their positions the next morning. Either that or the voices in the office come out to play. No matter which it is, I want to know why I wasn't invited. I don't dance well but I'm certain I could boogie as well as something made of stone.
I've lined them all up again right now and I'm curious to see what tomorrow brings.
BTW, none of my crew cost me more than $1.00 on ebay (plus free shipping). I'm hoping to add a turquoise dodo to the ranks and I've made some odd polymer clay people like things that will go so well, once I remember to glaze them and actually bring them in.
Now that my flight of fancy is over, I'll land and get back to work.
