hello! to all my muslim friends with contamination and/or religious OCD i want to share a few tips with you:

your ablution/wudu' does not need to be elaborate to be accepted. Intend for yourself to do your wudu' and say it out loud/whispered if you need to confirm to yourself, say bismillah al rahman al raheem, wash your face and hands and arms up to the elbow, wipe your head with water, and wipe your feet with water. if you end up needing to wash your hands or anything else in between, that is fine because you are still technically still doing your wudu so you do not need to be redoing steps.

regarding any discharge: if you bleed outside your period then that is considered istihadah and you don't need to do any full-body purificiation, but you just need to repeat your wudu' before every prayer; the normal, healthy, chronic discharge that a lot of people get does not invalidate your wudu so no need to repeat it.

yes, doing your prayer correctly can go a long way, but remember the important thing is to get it done. your prayers will inshallah be accepted as long as you haven't done anything to warrant it not being accepted (i.e. you're not facing the qiblah for example)

there is no demand for preciseness. if you're stuck in a spiral of, for example, 'i am not facing the qiblah exactly oh no', i know it's hard, but do not fret. Allah has made most things easy, and He is the most understanding out of everyone. if you are a few degrees off, you are okay. Facing the qiblah means being in at least the general vicinity of it even if you aren't 1000% precise. Diagram below should help explain what I mean.

[ID: A black arrow pointing northwest on a white canvas. Two red arrows originating from the same point as the black arrow are pointing in the same direction a little bit apart from the black arrow. end ID.]

Say the black arrow is where the Qiblah is as mathematically precisely as possible. The red arrows are the direction you may end up praying at. This is completely fine, given that you did your effort to get as close as possible to the Qiblah as you could, despite it being a few degrees off. Your prayer is fine. You don't need to repeat it or spend ages adjusting that prayer mat.

a lot of guilt can really be racked up from not praying. i get that. Allah also understands, because even if not necessarily difficult for everyone, prayer is by design inconvenient because it forces you to break from your routine. start off small, even if it isn't all your prayers. that can be sorted later. you not praying does not make you a disbeliever so you do not need to put yourself through the process of re-entering islam everytime you miss a few prayers.

unrelated to prayer but if you have thoughts of disbelief or blasphemy, remember that you are not judged for anything that's in your head. it's in your head, so you don't need to retake your oath or start repenting like crazy.

if you have any other disability in addition to OCD that you're worried about repeating prayer or wudu (e.g. you have a neurological condition that makes you lose control of your bladder or you have a colostomy bag), there is no need to. you can do wudu' before every prayer and whatever happens after that is not your issue

if you're stuck in the spiral of doubting your prayer and needing to check and remember that you did all your steps, you can try recording yourself praying and checking the footage after. also remember that if you do forget to do a whole rakah or a step, you can simply do the prostration of forgetfulness at the end of your prayer

I may have missed a few things, so just let me know. But Islam is meant to be as easy as you need it to be and Allah is the most forgiving and understanding. OCD is genuinely debilitating and is in fact a disability. You have a condition, of course God understands. I know it's not easy as just 'oh yeah I can just stop constantly repeating my wudu' but sometimes just having that knowledge can go a long way.

Cool Plant: Arundinaria gigantea

Giant River Cane

This plant is extra special! Not only is it one of three members of the genus Arundinaria, which together are North America's only native bamboo, it also once formed extensive bamboo forests in the American Southeast known as canebrakes, where the bamboo stalks could exceed 30 feet tall! The bamboo forests are thought to have covered 10 million acres of the southeastern United States.

River cane grows in damp areas such as low-lying woods and the edges of creeks, and has incredible abilities for resisting erosion and filtering contaminants from groundwater. It is a fire dependent species, and canebrakes were maintained by Native Americans using controlled burns. Native American peoples such as the Cherokee and the Choctaw used the river cane as a super tough all purpose crafting material for everything from flutes and blowguns to baskets, backpacks, mats and bed frames.

Nowadays, it mostly only exists in small patches along fences and in ditches, where it usually grows no taller than 10 feet or so. Since it grows in large clonal colonies and only produces seeds once before the entire patch dies, it is hard for it to reproduce these days. The destruction of the canebrakes by colonists' cattle, plowing, and neglect of the caretaking practices are thought to have helped drive the Carolina parakeet and passenger pigeon to extinction.

Many other species depend on the Arundinaria bamboos to live: there are at least 9 butterfly and moth species that use it as a host plant, and some of the rarest plants in the Southeast, including the Venus flytrap, are often found in remaining fragments of canebrakes.

Puppy Power!

1/20/25 -

We picked up Onyx on Saturday. It was an hour-and-a-half car ride, and he did great on the way home; just a little whining for the first 10 minutes, and then he settled and laid down for the rest of the trip.

He's been pretty good at home. He's not overly responsive to outside stimuli, he really wants to play with the cat but she's not there quite yet, he loves his toys and has no clue how to use his massive paws.

Also, he's never seen stairs before, of which we have many. The entire first day and part of the second was me carrying him up and down to go potty.

He had quite a few accidents in the house the first day as we figure out his potty schedule. His poops were runny so they were hard for him to control.

I took him to the vet today. He's 23.8 pounds. The vet also found that he has something called Giardia; it's a parasite that they can get from contaminated water. She perscribed him two meds that I will administer for the next 5 days. She said she's never seen so many in a single specimine and was really surprised he wasn't vomiting frequently (which he has not, at all). She informed us that he's likely have been a few pounds heavier if not for the bugs, and we'll see weight gain quite a bit over the next couple of weeks.

Giardia rarely passes from dog to cat or dog to human, but is very transmittable between dogs. To be on the safe side, we aren't letting him and CookieKris (the cat) too close, and we're frequently washing our hands. I'm also washing his bowl between uses. I've been using the carpet cleaner on his accidents already, so that's covered.

He's doing well with Sit, and Lay Down (most of the time, unless Cookie is on the banister and he just hyperfocuses on her lol), and he loves to be glued to my side so Here hasn't really been all that tested. He is only 11 weeks old, after all, so I don't expect too much from his at this point.

He is very food-driven, and is in love with his snuffle mat.

And moreover, he's just such a cutiepie!!!

How to Get Rid of Dog Fleas

Fleas are a nuisance. These tiny, blood-sucking parasites irritate your dog and infest your home—often before you realize that fleas have moved in. Many dogs are allergic to flea bites, which can cause intense scratching, red and flaky skin, scabs, hot spots, and hair loss. Fleas can also cause tapeworms and anemia.

Fleas prefer animal hosts but will resort to biting people when animals are unavailable. They can transmit germs that cause disease by feeding on hosts or through fecal contamination (when infected flea feces are scratched into an open wound).

If you and your dog are scratching your heads, and you’re wondering how to kill dog fleas, we’ve got you covered. Here are the four steps you need to take to eliminate these unwelcome freeloaders.

1. Understand the Flea’s Life Cycle

The first step is understanding the enemy. Fleas go through four life cycle stages:

Egg

Larva

Pupa

Adult

The adults live on animals like your dog, where they digest blood and lay their eggs. One female flea can lay up to 2,000 eggs. These eggs hatch in 1-10 days and spread throughout your home and yard every time your dog scratches, shakes, or lies down.

They then hatch into larvae that can move on the host and feed on blood and flea dirt (digested blood from the adult fleas). During the pupa stage, they form cocoons, where they wait for several days or up to one year—preferably for the fleas in the comfort of your carpet, sofa, or bed—until a warm-bodied host appears. Then they hatch, become adults, and infest their animal hosts, such as your dog.

It’s important to know about these stages because different flea treatments for dogs address different parts of the flea’s life cycle, so make sure you read the label of any flea elimination products and follow the directions before use.

2. Prevention and Treatment

The best way to deal with fleas is prevention. Flea and tick preventatives kill fleas that come in contact with your dog, preventing your pup from bringing them home in the first place. There are several options out there, from flea collars to topical liquid applicants and pills. Talk to your vet about the flea preventative that is safest and right for your puppy or dog.

If your dog already has fleas, these preventatives will still kill them, but you may need to take more aggressive action, like a prescription preventative. You can also use a flea shampoo or a fast-acting chemical treatment, such as a flea pill that kills the fleas on your dog within hours. Again, it’s important to ask your dog’s veterinarian for recommendations.

3. Get Fleas Out of Your Home

Killing the fleas on your dog is just one part of the problem. You also need to determine how to get rid of fleas in your home. This requires patience. It can take as long as three to four months to get rid of an infestation, as it takes this long for all of the fleas in your home to go through their life stages.

Here are the steps you need to take to eradicate fleas in your home:

Wash all dog beds and soft dog toys in hot, soapy water. Repeat this frequently until the infestation has ended.

Wash your own bedding, throw rugs, bath mats, and any blanket or cushion where your dog likes to sleep in hot water.

Vacuum all carpets, hardwood floors, linoleum and tiled floors, curtains, and upholstered furniture, and throw away the vacuum bag immediately in an outside garbage bin. You will need to vacuum on a regular basis to be sure all of the stages are addressed.

Choose and apply an environmental flea control spray or fogger that will treat all stages of fleas, or call a local exterminator.

Choose and apply a spray, pellet, or nontoxic flea treatment for your yard. Keeping grass and brush short will also make your yard less inviting to fleas and ticks. Patch fences to discourage raccoons, rabbits, and other wildlife that carry fleas from coming into your yard.

If your dog has ridden in your car lately, you should vacuum the seats.

Continue to treat your dog and any other pets with a monthly preventative.

During flea season, don’t let your dog interact with strange dogs. Be sure any puppy playmates are free of fleas.

4. Talk to Your Veterinarian

When in doubt, call in the experts. Ask your veterinarian about how to get rid of fleas on dogs, as vets are up-to-date on the latest flea treatments and preventatives and can help you find the best and safest treatment option for you and your dog.

Title: Rainy Day Car Care: How to Safeguard Your Vehicle in Wet Weather

Introduction:

Rainy days can be challenging for car owners, as the combination of wet roads, reduced visibility, and potential water damage poses risks to your vehicle. However, with a few proactive steps and careful maintenance, you can protect your car from the effects of rainy weather. In this article, we will provide valuable tips to help you safeguard your vehicle and ensure it stays in optimal condition during wet conditions.

Maintain a Clean Exterior:

Regularly washing your car is crucial to protect its exterior from dirt, grime, and corrosive elements carried by rainwater. Additionally, applying a protective wax coating will help repel water and prevent water spots, keeping your car looking pristine. Pay attention to the undercarriage as well, as it is susceptible to debris buildup. A clean exterior will minimize the risk of damage caused by contaminants present in rainwater.

Check and Maintain Wipers:

Your windshield wipers play a vital role in maintaining visibility during rainy weather. Inspect the wiper blades for signs of wear or damage, such as cracking or splitting. Replace worn-out blades promptly to ensure efficient water clearance from the windshield. Additionally, make sure your wiper fluid reservoir is filled with a rain-specific formula to effectively remove grime and provide clear visibility.

Ensure Proper Tire Traction:

Wet roads can be slippery, compromising your car's traction and handling. Regularly check your tire tread depth and condition to ensure adequate grip on wet surfaces. Consider switching to all-season or rain-specific tires for improved performance. Properly inflated tires also contribute to better traction, so monitor and maintain the recommended tire pressure levels. Good tire traction is essential for safe driving in rainy conditions.

Protect the Interior:

Water damage can affect your car's interior if rainwater finds its way inside. Inspect the rubber seals around doors, windows, and the trunk for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged seals promptly to prevent water leaks. It's also advisable to use waterproof seat covers or invest in water-resistant floor mats to protect the upholstery and carpets from moisture. Dry out any wet spots immediately to prevent mold or mildew growth.

Park in Safe Locations:

When parking during rainy weather, opt for sheltered areas whenever possible. A covered parking spot, such as a garage or carport, will protect your vehicle from direct exposure to rain. If covered parking is unavailable, look for spots that offer some protection, such as under trees or other structures. Avoid parking near areas prone to flooding or beneath trees with overhanging branches that could potentially cause damage.

Drive with Caution:

Rainy conditions require cautious driving to ensure your safety and the well-being of your vehicle. Reduce your speed and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, as it takes longer to stop on wet roads. Avoid sudden maneuvers and hard braking, as they can lead to skidding or loss of control. Additionally, be mindful of hydroplaning, which occurs when your tires lose contact with the road surface due to a layer of water. If hydroplaning happens, release the accelerator and steer straight until traction is regained.

Post-Rain Inspection and Maintenance:

After driving in the rain, take the time to inspect your car for any signs of damage. Check for water accumulation in the trunk, footwells, or other areas. Dry out any wet spots and address potential leaks promptly. Also, inspect your vehicle's undercarriage for signs of rust or corrosion that may have occurred due to exposure to water and road salt. If you notice any issues, consult a professional mechanic for necessary repairs.

Conclusion:

By implementing these car care tips, you can effectively safeguard your vehicle during rainy weather. Maintaining a clean exterior, ensuring proper visibility, and protecting the interior are all crucial steps. Additionally, cautious driving, parking in safe locations, and post-rain inspections contribute to keeping your car in optimal condition. Remember, regular maintenance and timely repairs will help extend the life of your vehicle and ensure it remains reliable even in wet weather conditions. With these precautions, you can confidently navigate rainy days while safeguarding your prized possession. for any service visit- shaktiautomobiles.com

I had to do Team Batgirl. Babs is Oracle, Cass is Black Bat and Steph is Batgirl as per pre-New 52. Remember, the core drive of each emotion is benevolent, no matter how bad they feel. Sadness is responsible for empathy, sympathy and asking for help; Fear wants to keep us and what we care about safe; Anger wants things to be fair; and Disgust wants to protect us from physical, social or moral contamination. They're all the basis for more complex emotions and processes, e.g. Fear enables forethought and common sense for risk evaluation, Anger inspires courage and bold, direct action and Disgust is highly involved in meeting social expectations.

[Babs's Headquarters have a similar professional atmosphere to Bruce's. The walls are dark grey. In the background of the immaculate main office, a few closed doors partition off other spaces, probably more personal ones; the memory shelves are longer than average and have additional walled channels beneath them to store memory orbs that fall from overflow, and the memories glow unusually bright; there are no windows and the room is lit by overhead office lights, the sight screen and the memory orbs. Her emotions are also in wheelchairs and wear glasses, with individual styles and decorations. Her console is a large, angular, intricate control panel of polished silver metal, elegant and futuristic, at which sit Fear at the helm, Anger at her right hand and Joy at her left, then Sadness and Disgust next to them.]

Fear: We’re scanning our entire surveillance network, but the Joker is still unaccounted for. We should check in with Cassandra and Stephanie.

Joy: I’m so proud of them. Permission to verbalize that to them, ma’am?

Fear: Don’t know if we’ll have time.

Anger: Yeah, expressing vulnerability takes a lot of energy, and we all agreed to divert 75% of it to single-minded fixation on justice until Joker is back in Arkham. Preferably via ambulance.

Fear: I’ll schedule a tight smile for when the girls get back, but no guarantee Babs will remember it then. Our short-term memory bank is already full to bursting.

Disgust: (under her breath, annoyed) As always.

Sadness: So, um… Dick hasn't called us back yet, but I think he wants to. Maybe we should call him.

Fear: No, we’re both busy. We can catch up tommorow.

[Cass's Headquarters are largely a fusion of a dojo and a gym, a wide open space with mats, punching bags and other exercise and martial arts equipment. The walls and floor are wooden boards. A set of floor-to-ceiling windows at the back and sides shaped like bat symbols make the space light and airy. The background has a corridor leading off to the left and a staircase going up at the right that look straight out of Wayne Manor. There is no console. Rather, an elevated black stage with yellow curtains is before the screen. Sadness is centre-stage, flanked by Anger and Fear, then Joy and Disgust. The black surface lights up with squares of the emotions’ respective colours under their feet as they dance in a graceful, perfectly coordinated ballet routine to classical music. Until Fear makes a different move to the others. An alarm beeps, cutting off the music, and everyone freezes. The others stare at Fear. Anger is offended, Sadness and Joy intrigued and Disgust confused.]

Anger: (folds her arms, raises an eyebrow and puffs out her chest at Fear challengingly)

Sadness: (gently holds Anger in place with a hand on her shoulder and nods to Fear)

Fear: (cringes, but cautiously makes the move again)

Anger: (clenches her fists and gestures in outrage to Sadness)

Joy: (steps forward and holds Fear’s hand in support, making unintimidated eye contact with Anger)

Disgust: (looks ahead through Cass’s eyes, unlike any of the others are, due to boredom with the dispute)

Disgust: Ugh. More henchmen.

Sadness: You handle it.

Disgust: Fiiiine.

[The emotions reshuffle so that Disgust is centre-stage. She dances alone to simpler music with only one instrument. The others retreat upstage, Sadness between Anger and Fear and Joy as she tries to mediate.]

Joy: (stands protectively in front of Fear and beckons for Anger to bring it on, balancing her weight)

Sadness: (shakes her head disapprovingly, unseen by anyone)

Anger: (yells wordlessly and punches Joy)

[The four break into a fight, tumbling offstage onto the mats. Disgust rolls her eyes.]

[Steph's Headquarters are furnished much like a mundane living room, with white walls, a plush purple sofa, cluttered coffee table, lamps emitting warm light, windows to one side and a comfortable atmosphere. The doors to ancillary rooms are open. Tucked away by the memory orb shelves, two cardboard boxes of purple, blue, red and green memory orbs marked ‘Trauma - FRAGILE’ remain unpacked. Her console resembles a video game controller, being white plastic, rounded and having colourful buttons, switches and joysticks. It has a single chair, a spinning one made of black plastic and purple cushions. Joy is seated, gleefully wiggling a joystick. Anger is on her right, excitedly watching the mission, and Sadness is on her left, concerned. Disgust is hovering at the side of the console, not very interested. Fear is on the sofa quietly writing in a puzzle book.]

Joy: We’ve got this in the bag. None of these bozos even know we’re here.

[She reaches to press a yellow button. Disgust notices, abruptly invested, and pushes past Sadness to grab Joy’s hand.]

Disgust: But they will if you quip from so near them. And then we’re gonna fail and Babs is gonna make her disappointed face and, like, never trust Steph with a stealth mission again.

Joy: Good point.

Anger: There’s the ringleader! Aw, Cass is already beating him up.

Sadness: (sighs and leans on the console, turning it partially blue) She was a way better Batgirl, we’ll never come close and everyone knows it.

Joy: (batting her arm away) Sadness, we’ve talked about this. Steph earned her place and has nothing to prove. Everything's gonna be fine. Okay, let’s just sneak past and get out with the intel -

Fear: Hey, guys, do you ever think about how Steph’s daughter could die at any moment and we wouldn’t even know?

[The others tense and flinch. The console lights up purple and fades to blue.]

Joy: SHUT UP, FEAR!

Disgust: So not the time!

Sadness: (crying) I am now!

Anger: This is why we never listen to you!

The Importance of Cleanliness in Aged Care

Maintaining high standards of cleanliness in aged care facilities is essential to protect the health and safety of residents. This is because elderly individuals have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to germs.

Aged care cleaning melbourne services focus on thorough sanitisation and disinfection of common areas and resident rooms. They also prioritise high-touch surfaces to minimise the spread of bacteria.

Maintaining a Healthy Environment

In aged care settings, a clean environment is essential to the wellbeing of residents. A clean space reduces the risk of illness for residents who are already vulnerable to germs and bacteria. Thorough cleaning and sanitising of high-touch surfaces help to limit the spread of infection.

In addition, responsible waste handling procedures are critical to maintaining cleanliness and safety in aged care facilities. Waste disposal must be carried out in accordance with strict regulations to ensure that potentially contaminated materials are disposed of correctly.

Considering the mobility of older people in residential aged care is often reduced, it is vital that hallways and corridors are regularly cleaned to avoid injuries caused by trips and slips. This can be achieved by ensuring that floors are mopped and that areas like furniture, carpets, and mats are kept clean of debris and dirt.

Promoting Emotional Wellbeing

Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment in aged care facilities is not only essential for the health of residents but also to promote emotional wellbeing. Older people are particularly vulnerable to infection and disease, making it all the more important to keep facilities as clean as possible to prevent the spread of germs.

Caregivers can help promote emotional wellbeing by fostering trust and rapport with their clients. This is accomplished by establishing consistent communication and actively listening to their clients’ needs. Caregivers can also demonstrate empathy and understanding, which helps their clients feel valued and supported.

Regular monitoring and feedback are also vital for ensuring that the cleaning process is meeting the needs of elderly patients. Cleaning services must adhere to strict hygiene protocols and use gentle cleaning products that are suitable for sensitive skin. They must also ensure that high-touch areas, such as doorknobs and handrails, are cleaned thoroughly to minimise the risk of cross-contamination.

Providing Emotional Support

A clean environment helps to create a supportive atmosphere that promotes a sense of comfort and wellbeing. Professional cleaners understand the importance of providing high quality cleaning services in aged care settings and take great care to ensure that all areas are thoroughly cleaned and sanitised to reduce the risk of infections and other health concerns.

The teams at cleaning services like Enhance Services also recognise the importance of maintaining a friendly and polite attitude when they interact with residents and staff members. They are mindful not to work if they are feeling unwell and will substitute themselves if staff members ask them not to.

These are just some of the many ways that cleaning services can help to support the emotional wellbeing of elderly people living in aged care cleaning facilities. To learn more about our cleaning services, get in touch with us today.

Maintaining High Standards of Cleanliness

It is important to maintain a high level of cleanliness in aged care settings, as they house individuals who may be more susceptible to germs due to their age and weakened immune systems. Proper cleaning procedures ensure that all areas are thoroughly cleaned and sanitised, including common spaces, bathrooms, and resident rooms. This is accomplished by adhering to infection control guidelines and following strict cleaning aged care schedules, as well as ensuring that staff members use appropriate hygiene when handling waste and cleaning chemicals.

It is also crucial to regularly disinfect doorknobs, handrails, and light switches to prevent the spread of germs. Also, it is essential to make sure that spills are quickly and carefully cleaned up, as they can lead to a range of health issues in elderly people. It is also a good idea to document cleaning procedures to help ensure that key practices are never missed or forgotten. This includes keeping detailed records of the areas that have been cleaned, as well as detailing the date and time of each cleaning.

Red Reishi Lantern/Hanging Lamp

For my final project I decided to delve into mycelium as a material. This was my first time growing mushrooms outside of the farm, so the process I am used to when cultivating mushrooms shifted to a different challenge. I have been wanting to make lamps from biomaterials for quite some time since working with them for lifestyle things such as clothing and art. The addition of light to the biomaterial highlights its beauty and uniqueness. Mushrooms are such an interesting collaborator as well, as mycelium can grow into any shape and stay very strong. Red reishi was decided upon as it is known to inoculate with haste. Also, I was excited to see if the mushrooms would fruit, as the coloring and texture of red reishi would be cool to see on a lamp. To sum up my experience, nothing with biomaterials is perfect or in this case completely controllable. I had areas grow green, mycelium matted along the edges of the sheet pans, my humidifier broke once then flooded the tent another time, it was a learning experience all in all. I ended up with 9 good sheet pans, the bowls unfortunately did not colonize the substrate enough and grew mold, so those had to be tossed. With the remaining pans, after baking the moisture out and killing anything else alive (ethical?) I was able to pick out the pieces the mycelium took over the most and create my hanging lamp.  

The entire process took 1 month. I began inoculating bags of sterilized corn with red reishi mycelium, then let that rest in the grow tent with high humidity and warm temperatures and saw growth within 2 days. The following two weeks the mycelium spread over the corn making its way throughout the bag. Once mycelial fluff appeared and the bags were fully white, I transferred that into a big tub and mixed up the mycelium corn chunks with coco coir and hydrated soil. This mixture went into sheet pans and bowls to see what would give the best result. This was important to try different forms, as I found the mycelium did end up liking the flat sheet pan environment over the bowls. Other things I can consider is if containers had too much air flow/not enough, too dry, or just contamination. Not everything grew, but some pans grew a lot and super fast. The process itself was incredible to witness. Being the collaborator to the mushroom, it felt special to see it expand and come to life, yet makes me interested in bioethics and what it means to “kill” or even objectify it. The appreciation of the fibers and the beauty of its nature was something I was trying to lean into through my process. I couldn’t decide how its final form would look exactly, I had an idea in mind and did my best to see this idea through. Having any physical object from this surprised me, as the sheet pans did not grow as thick as I needed them to be, leading me to have concerns on the final product. 

Leaning into the collaborative nature of the bio world, I encased the mycelium in a biogel made from gelatin. I did this because I had found it to dry and “glue” things together well. The biogel also forms bubbles, which I liked adding to the aesthetic of the design. I followed the bubbly gel along the gaps making a webby pattern that reminded me of the spread of mycelium. This process of lamp construction took a lot of time, as I had to build some internal structures with aluminum and use weights to dry each side of the shade. The next challenge was how to hang the lamp. I ended up taking a lamp and harvesting the cord from it. I took the light fixture and screwed it in with a bulb just to test it. I decided to use a led bluetooth light bulb to get colors and effects to light up the mycelium. The light comes through the cracks in the mycelium and from the bottom. To secure the fixture, I poured more bio gel on top of the shape and fixture to connect them. Overall doing this project again I would strongly consider using a grow it yourself mix (from grow bio) as the substrates are accurately prepared for mold making specifically. I would also make even more iterations with more negative and positive space play/balance. However this lamp is a very cool first prototype to hopefully a lamp series once I get better results.
