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'! :-)

Always thought it was a camera until I was looking for a daily pic tonight and opened up the carrying case and found this nifty item. It was stashed in my deseased Sister's closet.

taken at the office of a friend - and yes, he is advising and working with more than one very very early stage startup at the moment (he's a professor in NYC

I came across it while walking on the road, as summer was coming, yellow broke the horizontal symmetry.

Ignore these pictures. I found this creepy doll at Value Village.

It all started from here...

This costume is more of an assemblage piece using found or donated materials. The cape is a curtain with plastic bad tassels. The jacket was a found piece that I slashed, altered and added to. The high collar uses the spoke from a damaged umbrella. I used collars from other jackets, layered them and used a tie for the cravat.

This flower was essentially black to look at, but the UV in the strobe kicked up some deep red. See the scuffs in the dime BIG.

kevin found this on the street (not from our car, thankfully). they'd smashed the window but the little sticker that says "anti-theft" was still intact.

Remember that even though there is no sign telling us that photogaphy is not allowed in the subways.

Taken with available light (sun thru the window, flourescent overhead) to try and capture the burnished copper color. These were soot-black when I took them from their box. My Dad bought them in the '40s... I doubt that they'd been cleaned since.
