DAY twenty - 30 days of handmade

A Sunday project- contemplating turning this:

poetic home

Or is this just sacrilegious? I promise it doesn't work anymore. I've checked out a few tutorials and they suggest to put rocks in the bottom, then add soil and succulents eeeek. I was thinking I'd pop some thick plastic in first to protect the typewriter innards and then build it from there.

What are your thoughts?
