All good things must come to an end. And on the playa, that means a bunch of work after a long week in the desert.

When the city of La Center needed to remove a dilapidated house on city property, they chose to deconstruct, rather than demolish.
La Center recently purchased a lot with a vacated house slated for removal and has contracted with DeConstruction Services for this project. Says Public Works Director, Jeff Sarvis, “The use of deconstruction to remove houses is another step toward reducing waste, promoting reuse and recycling, and keeping it out of our landfills, which is an essential component of sustainable, green building.”
Working with DeConstruction Services—a project of the non-profit organization The ReBuilding Center—La Center will keep 6000 square feet of reusable building materials from the landfill. The environmental savings of deconstruction are the equivalent of preserving 20 mature trees in the forest, taking 1.7 cars off the road in the reduction of greenhouse gas, and saving 1440 gallons of clean drinking water.

Mine arrived yesterday and I must say that I am very happy with her.
Her hair is very stiff (like concrete! ;) but the style is very nice and the gel used is good- you cannot see marks from a hair net, it does not flock and there is none of it on her face.
While some fellow collectors find the fashion and especially the shoes and jewelry in combination with the fluffy dress too edgy, I must say I love it. I mean, hey, who really wants another Sunday dress with flower print for their dolls?? One of the reasons why I nevr got a Tonner doll is that their ensembles are mostly way too conservative for me.
The lifespan of an apartment building can be short in Korea. These apartments are in the process of deconstruction to make way for the construction of larger high-rise apartments.
1. "As J. Hillis Miller puts it, "deconstruction is not a dismantling of a text but a demonstration that it has already dismantled itself." According to Culler, "a deconstruction involves the demonstration that a hierarchical opposition, in which one term is said to be dependent upon another conceived as prior, is in fact a rhetorical or metaphysical imposition and that the hierarchy could well be reversed." Hence the deconstructionist emphasis on the marginal and supplementary. " - Greg Henderson and Christopher Brown.
2. The quote basically describes deconstruction as a word or a text that is already broken down. But at the same time, it isn't. On one hand, you have one answer to a question. On another set of hands you several answers and interpretations to the answer.
3.The pictures shows workers dismantling the unknown. Ironically at the same time, it looks as if it is also being constructed.

ZEN MAGNETS - Neodymium Magnetic Balls (@1051) - Jeweled Fox Helm of Magnetic Magicka
Zen chrome variation (deconstruction has slightly more magnets used for detailing this version)
Added NeoBall jewel accent replacements ...
Lighting: Multi-Colored LED flashlight

This is a light armor helmet that was inspired by the classic RPG games of Diablo, Skyrim, Hellgate London, etc... This is the Zen Magnets version.
The base dome of the helm is formed using four of my Tri-Oval subunits with the holes filled in. Horns were created using folded extended hexagons. The nose and rear neck plate protection were fashioned to look like scaled plate armor. The shape of the eye protection and the horns reminded me of a Fennec Fox ... hence, the name. This helm design is actually an extension that grew out of an original Viking helmet concept. The result is a keeper.
Because of the black NeoBalls, I kept the lighter background over a darker one to prevent them from blending in too much.
(@679 = Viking Helmet top section) = (Tri-Oval 1/2 sphere=(3 x 36-ball Oval Subunit)) + (top filler=8-ball ring + 4-ball + 1-ball) + (hole fillers=(4 x (6-ball rings + 1-ball center)) + (4 x (4-ball rings)) + (horn mounts=(2 x (6-hex + 12-hex + 2-ball top +2+2-ball bottom inside reinforcement on two sides) + (Horns=(2 x (4L-Hex=(60-ball) + 4+3+2+1-ball tip folded in half + 4 x 1-ball hole fill back/front))
(@088) = Nose/Eye plate = (52-ball nose plate) + (6-ball + 4-ball ring accents + 2 x 1-ball jewel colored) + (2 x (2 x 6-ball + 6-ball eye plates ) + (3-ball triangle nose to helm bridge)
(@236 ) = Rear scaled plate protection = (5 x (46-ball plates)) + (2-balls added to 2 outer top 4 added helm bridge support) + (4 x 1-ball spacers between plates)
Replaced accents with 2 x red rubies, 1 green emerald, 1 blue sapphire for the jewel effect.
It is sitting on top of a Mag-Lite flashlight ... the handle diameter was perfect.

But they finally finished today... at least with the higher walls. The remains will probably be taken care of by some bulldozers?
These partly demolished buildings are on the site of the Wapping Dock Goods station at the western exit of the Wapping tunnel. Nowadays the site is a commuter car park for people working in the City Centre.
Most UK car parks are either built multistorey or on open waste ground, but this is somewhere in between and characterised by shadows from the partly remaining roof trusses.

Old shells on a beach? No - a clam and an abalone shell from vacations past on concrete block in the back yard. Rather than leave them trapped in a box in the basement, I decided to set them out and allow them to age naturally and gracefully. Every passing month reveals new details and inner structure.
