Seeds and Pod, Lovely Old Handmade Glass Slide path with what I'm pretty sure

with what I'm pretty sure is its original paint--a dark red overall

(Once hung in one spot though and left along

they're all Magritte-ian fellows speaking to The Treachery of Images

Seeds and Pod, Lovely Old Handmade Glass Slide path with what I'm pretty sureI found this specimen slide and another similar at a favorite New Hampshire stop the other day, which has a back room filled with all sorts of curious things, many of them from old school science departments, labs and the like. I just think it makes for a lovely object with these delicate pods and wispy seeds, and I like the idea of the seeds as suspended possibilities, never released into the wind but still looking ready to take flight. 4" x 3 5 6",
