-- Way down the list, if on it at all:
- spray-paint bean's sticks bright green, hang above bed on little nails
- paint ikea deep boxes, mount fake butterflies, typed cursive latinate labels; or
maybe use big evidence frame instead, no boxes? no, probably not

- what goes into that weird mirror frame?
