Magpies make ordinary days feel a little less ordinary.

There have been several magpies here since this summer. I'm happy about that, but I guess I'll have to teach them some table manners.

Work in progress...

This is going to be a birdbath. It's made of concrete. I put some wire mesh underneath to stabilize it. Next up is Moltofill, so the surface will be nice and smooth. We'll see, maybe I'll add some mosaic tiles on top at the end.

[self] Mirror mosaic mushroom sculpture

My mirror mosaic mushroom sculpture, made from cement mortar, wire mesh, Moltofill (to smooth the surface), and mirror mosaic. Do you know Nikki de Saint-Phalle? She's my role model. Creating works like hers would be my ultimate goal... ☺️

My patio

My patio—or rather, my summer living room. In the summer, I place my houseplants in the shade on the patio. When it gets very hot, I spray them with a misting bottle in the evening. They love it. Right now, the patio is more like my workshop, where I make things like mushroom sculptures. Best regards from Bern region ☺️
