Episode 309: Practicalities

A rich couple who are building a house in town ask Terrastina to design a windmill for their front yard. We want it for power, they say, but we also want it to be an art piece. Terrastina accepts the commission and spends the next day and night sketching ideas. She shows her favorite one to Mazolli. This is amazing, he says. I especially like the spikes, and the snake skin texture, but is it possible to build working blades that look like wings? Sure, says Terrastina, anything’s possible. It just depends how much money they want to spend.
