Oasis
I recently found a slip of paper on which several months ago I had sketched an image and jotted a few notes about a simple project the idea for which I was inspired while browsing the craft store. I decided that now was the right time to implement the concept.
I call it the Oasis (or rather, I couldn’t think of a clever name, so the Girl called it the Oasis).
It’s a cylindrical glass jar with bamboo and water in it, inside of a larger glass jar that is filled with white sand and a Buddha figurine. I raked the sand so it has waves, which is in contrast to the still water inside the bamboo jar. The only thing I would change is to lower the water level, but the bamboo needs water and if the water level goes below the sand, then you can’t see how much is in there.
I like the simplicity of the design. It’s not complicated or anything someone else couldn’t have come up with, but it works for it’s purpose. Far better than a complicated project that I never get around to finishing because of grand designs and perfectionism.
