I never did send a proper picture of the leg lamp that I made. This thing was so jimmy-rigged. Inside that paper mache leg is plaster of paris, lentils, a ladle (cupping the heel for support), three shoe horns to support the ankle, and a little batting at the top.
It actually works as well. I wired it.
After all the messing with it to make it stand up, it looks like the person has a small case of elephantitis in the ankle.

I love it! I'm glad you posted this picture, because the one you sent via text message didn't show the "originality" of that cyst on her shin.
An Ode.
As swiftly pass the weeks away
I notice each and every day
That no new posts
Are listed here.
I while away the days and hours
But nothing new, and so I glower
I admit I had to look that word up,
And yes it means just what I thought.
And so I take it upon myself
To beg and plead for some new post
And if this doesn't work at all
You'll make me feel, well, rather small.
I admit this doesn't rival those
Odes about stalkers and Thanksgiving Day.
But for this purpose it will do.
Please, Sibbie, give us something new.
