Post-modernity for infants: Our daughter’s kindergarten has a scheduled “deconstruction day” during which all lego constructions the kids have build are disassembled. This makes the pieces available for new assemblies. She was worried during breakfast: “But… When is our next deconstruction day due?” She asked. (Made a song about this).

Practising on my gilding skills and trying to make a faux kintsugi repair on a broken vase. Instead of using gold or silver dust I’m gilding the glue seams. I failed to glue it together so that it would hold water inside and had to use epoxy to secure the pieces (The official kintsugi lacquer would have been expensive to import). In an effort to fix the leaks I casted a polyester resin interior for it. This holds the water in but will make conservators angry. Looks pretty though.
