DIY Branch Weaving. There’s a certain feeling that comes from creating something with your own two hands.
No matter what it may be, the time and effort put forth always leaves a reward, and the satisfying feeling of accomplishment. The art of weaving is one of those things that takes time and patience. I’ve always been drawn to large wall hanging weavings, but it wasn’t until after I saw them placed around Humboldt House that the desire to create one of my own really sunk in. I love the way a blank wall can instantly be transformed by interlocked textiles. There’s so much detail and color that can be incorporated into a weaving – they can really add a lot when decorating a space. For my first attempt, I created my own loom using a branch and gathered up a variety of yarn and string. I really like that branch weavings can be created on any scale depending on the size of your branch. First you need a branch.

Meet the Personal Chef of Pot. Jonesing for some gourmet tri-tip and a solid buzz?
Check out Cannabis Catering, a San Francisco-based outfit that specializes in marijuana cuisine. The brainchild of Chef Frederick Nesbitt, a California Culinary Academy-trained chef who has worked as personal chef for Jerry Rice and John Madden, Cannabis Catering offers four and five-course meals laced with ganja. The idea for Cannabis Catering came to Nesbitt when he learned that his friend's diabetic mother had been diagnosed with cancer. "I would bring back edibles [from the dispensary], but they're so high in high-fructose corn syrup that she was high off sugar rather than being medicated," he says. So Nesbitt began experimenting with his own pot food--starting with mashed potatoes. Now Nesbitt cooks an array of cannabis-laced delectables. Each meal contains the equivalent of three to five pot cookies, but Nesbitt says he can customize the food depending on what customers want.

In 2004, two dutch companies, River Flowers and F.J.
Zandbergen, experimented and successfully grew a rose that had its petals rainbow colored. As petals get their nourishment through stem, the idea is to split the stem into several channels and dip each one in a different colored water. This way all the colors will be drawn by the stem into petals and resultant rose will have all the colors in it. The same method can be applied to other flowers especially to Chrysanthemum and Hydrangea. You can use the same idea to color any flower, anyway you like. Cooking with Marijuana - StumbleUpon.
