(Larrea tridentata is known as creosote bush and greasewood[2] as a plant, chaparral as a medicinal herb,[3] and as gobernadora in Mexico, Spanish for "governess", due to its ability to secure more water by inhibiting the growth of nearby plants. In Sonora, it is more commonly called hediondilla.)
After almost 3 months of other aspects of life taking over, I was finally able to put some time to interior stucco aka lime plaster. This work represents 4 bags of La Habra 100.

All the way around! |

Merging the wood frame and the bags. |
I think a bit of texture looks more interesting, perfection is too time consuming. |
