The wood is from a storm-damaged London Plane Tree that partially fell in Washington Square Park. Thanks to Ross Fadely for helping me haul the log back from the park, and thanks to PMC for use of his chainsaw! (Slightly better photos here.)

Yes these are photographs, taken in the garden of the Bäckerfeld.

Fimo Tāne Mahuta

Made at Raglan.

space-filling curve

I rearranged part of V's hundreds chart into a fractal-like space-filling curve. Can you see the symmetry? (Note that—unlike on the normal hundreds chart—every integer is next to both of its two number-line neighbors.) If she had a 16x16 256es chart I could have really gone to town.

peanut butter cup

Yes, there is a peanut-butter center, surrounded by dark chocolate. Made to satisfy a craving of the 'fuzz.

birthday cake

Thanks to Cheryn, Haelyn, and Vera for help.

salt crystals

After visiting the salt mine near Salzburg, we decided to dissolve salt in water and then recover it.
