I’ll Meet You There
mixed media collage and soft sculpture
12″ x 24″
(paper ephemera, wood, Guinness bar towel, wire, floral tape)

This is the end of the Guinness bar towel. I used every little bit of that thing – the best .25 cents I’ve spent in a long time.  I’m on the search for another.

I’ve been rescuing books from the Wellesley town dump book recycling area.  I need more and varied paper ephemera and I need a better way to store all my bits of paper (shoved into a giant accordion file is probably not the best solution).

Swimming lessons have been terrific for all of us.  Roxanne loves the one-on-one attention from her teacher.  Simon loves being in the gym childcare room where he feels he is at nursery school. And I love swimming for half an hour every morning.  I forgot  how much I love to swim.

    Would you be interested in vintage button tags? (the cards that buttons come attached to?) I’m using up my grandmother’s stash of buttons, and I hate to just throw them away. If you want them I’ll save and post them to you! (They range from the 50’s through the early 80’s)

    This is interesting work. I really like the play of your bird constructions against the flat paper ephemera. It’s interesting to me too the image of the origami frog in this piece; representing taking something flat and making it three dimensional. nice!
