New Artwork

There was a large mirror above my TV and it fell off the wall and broke, leaving a big white space. So I moved my Van Gogh print to over the TV and decided to buy something nice to cover up the white space over the futon. I went to Ten Thousand Villages and found this, a coiled wool tapestry from Peru. I like it a lot because of the soft, warm colors, and it goes with my "fabric themed" living room - I now have cloths/ tapestries from Niger, Equador, India, and Peru.



Changing subjects, does anyone out there, besides Kate, like marshmallow peeps, which incidently are made in Bethlehem, PA? I didn't think so (sorry, Kate, I think they're gross!). But now I have an excellent reason to buy them:
The Washington Post Peeps Diorama Contest!
Just another reason why this newspaper is so great. But the competition's going to be tough. Scroll down and see "March of the Peeps" and "Spinal Peeps" from an earlier contest (yeah, the Post swiped the idea from the St. Paul Pioneer Press). Peeps look so much like Daphnia that I'd like to make a diorama of a pelagic ecosystem, but I have a feeling only me and a few other people would get it.
