The Crackled Apples are in the garage on Wednesdays, looking into new projects and perspectives surrounding the concept of gourds. One of the biggies has been combining time and gourds, in this instance hourglasses and gourds. One of the more interesting (read that, weird) incarnations has been the flip-hourglass made with light bulbs from Dollar Tree. The glitter has been thought over and done with sand, but it is fun to see the options. Clearly, the angle of the hourglass wall is critical as is shown in the plastic ball hourglass supported with gourd scraps. The angle must encourage the downward descent of the particles or they just sit and have to be jiggled.

Keep moving through your days Crackleds, keeping rhythm and time with the seasons!
The next big project day is luminaries on the 14th; the perfect project for when time passes and the days get shorter!
