"Alright, so I've collected some things that's been piling up around my work stations here. I just think that it's fun to take these different things, like say this ring that I cut from a neck. You can just take it, I don't want to get messy, you can just take it (where does it need to be) and just whack it. Right there. On that pot. Now that that's going on over there, maybe a little some of this going on over here. I can take this opposite side. I've go no issues going like that to my pot, at all. I'm just bulbing it out on the side there, like that. Then we find some other things, that need to get thrown at the pot. Then some more like that. Okay. Now you want to put some lines in here, like this and like this and up here. Then these look like they want to be flowers. Because there will be flowers in this pot. Let's put flowers on the pot. Okay. Now take a gander at it. We'll see what else we want to put on there."
