Paper nails for a prose and art project named The Rusty Nails. I made the nails out of color paper and them applied paint. The narrative is about my father bringing a box of rusty nails home he found in a hunting trip.
This is part of the narrative:
My father ( Papi to me) loved to hunt. On many occasions he would bring "little treasures" he would find in his hunting trips: an odd rock, a feather, an interesting leaf. He would explain the beauty of each of those things. He was fascinated by the colors, textures, shapes, composition of the old, dirty objects. And he taught us, my brother and I, to appreciate their beauty, their dirtiness, oldness, oddness, ruggedness that made them special, and specially beautiful.
For others those objects were nothing more than trash, but to my brother and I they were beautiful, not a pristine, immaculate beauty, but beautiful anyhow.
In one occasion Papi brought a box of rusty nails from one of his hunting trips. He took the nails, cleaned each of them enough so that they were still dirty but clean ( do you understand what I mean?) He removed the dirt that will make others dirty. Then, he varnished each of them carefully, delicately, so as to preserve their beauty forever, to stop their decay. Literally, he would turn each nail into a radiant, magnificent miniature sculpture of brilliant reds, flaming oranges and chocolate browns.

I will explain later. ;-)
I want to live where the birds sing. I always dream of places above the ground, in the midst of nature. Where words are not part of the soundscape, where our role is to just listen, breath in, release ...
The polylepis tree (queñual) is indigenous to the high Andes can be found at high altitudes well over 4000 meters (13,000 feet). It is thought to be the tree that grows at the highest altitude of any tree in the world. It also is referred to as paper tree because its reddish bark flakes off in very thin paper-like pieces. The bark's layers isolate the trunk from the intense cold and fertilizes the ground where it grows, thus also preventing erosion. Its small and wax-covered leaves prevent water loss due to evaporation while its wide and twisted trunk captures the surrounding humidity.
The Lagunas de Llnganuco (3,850 m / 12,631 ft) are located in the Parque Nacional Huascarán, which includes most of the Cordillera Blanca, above the town of Yungay.
A simple paper lantern I designed for a summer fundraiser in New York City. The invitation for the event has icons of some city landmarks as part of the desing. I used the Robo to cut off these icons from lanterns.

Chelsea Market likes to always pick a central theme for it's Christmas decorations. This year, they decided to go very low-key and decorate entirely with recycled paper.
I must admit, I'm not exactly thrilled with their Holiday displays this year. The recycling of papers is great for the environment, but it does look very plain and drab. It fits well with the distressed industrial look of Chelsea Market though.
Maybe I'm not appreciating the uniqueness of Chelsea Market's Christmas decorations, but they are just a bit too minimalist and stark for my taste. I hope next year they will decide to be more colorful and ornate.
I painted this for my little ones. I blogged how to here...

HP's first grade class had to create a habitat in a shoe box. Hers was a rain forest filled with animals. She personally made this tree for one of the items. I naturally think she is a genius.
ANSH: challenge: something made of paper ( and by the way she pointed out that trees make paper as well,)
