Cartons, Cartons Everywhere
I hate being ill, but of course, you can't always pick and choose on that score. I spent most of my energy this past week on creating cartons for the "Art In A Carton" project. (See the link on the right.)
Here are some of the first cartons and one or two examples of the kinds of art I've been making to place in them. My plan for this weekend is to get to my sewing machine and make some art dolls and prayer pouches. This is all so much fun!
What I need to do next is broadcast news of the project, so all the places fill and I know who I'll be sending to in the coming weeks and months. Interested? Take a look at the project blog and tell your art friends.
I'm in the best years of my life, in what is usually called "midlife".
I'm English, and I live in the north of Germany, and I sometimes still wonder how I got here from there.
One of the things I used to hear often as a kid was that I had too much imagination. That tickles me pink when I think about it now, because I've lived off my imagination and my wits for most of my life, and I bet I have more fun and better toys that most of the other kids from way back then, these days.
