turn servers into planters
monkeyengine has a neat idea of turning serving bowls into hanging planters. since i've never met a plant hanger i liked this definitely opens up a lot of possibilities for me and my balcony.

which is where ikea figures in. the blanda blank series of bowls seems to beg for repurposing. so i did. with a bit of hardware from my other endeavors, i made slings from stainless cables and with some epoxy, eye straps and shackles the bowls became the hanging plant containers i've always wanted."
