All that repurposing in Cuban art ... here's some repurposing of my own. We took in a couple of desk lamps to be repaired in our local hardware store (a really excellent community addition, here in Eldorado, full of useful things - mouse and gopher traps seemed to be occupying pride of place). Only one could be rescued (lamp, that is, not pesky rodent). But I looked at the big, heavy base of the other one, and thought ... if one cut off the electric cord, it would serve well as a weight to keep the cloth in place on the outside table. And if one had a little test-tube like container, one could put a flower in it. And we had saved just such containers from something or the other - maybe an orchid purchase? In any case, it's a success ...
