unconsumption: More musical instrument repurposing: Instruments turned into water fountains. I (Molly) have to say that I have mixed feelings about decorative water fountains. I find the sound of streaming water to be soothing, and I’m a fan of garden art and other garden-y things; however, I think fountains can be a waste of resources — water, electricity. What do you think? Photos, from the Philadelphia Flower Show, via Bérénice, a.k.a. Babeur on Flickr, here and here. Related: Kinetic water fountains made from old instruments, made by Douglas Walker. Lovely, but still.
