Sev found this inside the walls of our new house. It was completely black but I took some steel wool to it and it shined right up.

I found this leaf inside a book I bought at a used-book store. I wish I could say the book was by one of The Beats or something cool, but I think it was a collection of Rilke short stories.
Cedar strips from cigar box tied in star form with binding wire.
The occasional cigar box makes it to our house, invited by my husband and I always covet it - the smell of cedar, the overall shape (like an old-fashioned pencil case). A thin layer of cedar lines the box and I've found it tears beautifully in asymmetrical, uneven pieces. Here's what I did with some of them. Now I wish I could make a more permanent piece like that, but these strips are so frail... an interesting creative challenge.

One of my all time personal favorites :-) This was made after I got out of the hospital last year after the heart attack. I know that everyone there meant to be kind, but it got to be wearisome to be told over and over how 'young' and 'great' I looked.... when this was how I was feeling inside lol!
It also occurs to me that this represents how I feel all the time! It can be difficult even to convince my doctors to take me seriously since to them I 'don't look sick'! :-)
Just working on better shots/different angles etc...
