THE PATH NOT TAKEN Got waylaid by the thousands of beads that craved becoming necklaces .... along with the clear fishing line and the tiny crochet hooks FIRST CAME THE PINKS especially for October and Bossom Buddies Then there were multitudes of George Washington U blues and golds Years ago, I did a series of soft Origami boxes made from wallpaper samples ..... Deena used them to store odds and ends on her headboard ..... They got so squooshed by her last Navy move that we said goodby to them ..... Just started doing Kirigami boxes .... The cutting and shhhh don't tell taping makes them a bit sturdier, Hillel cut all the starter squares for me I was doing 4 by 4 by 2 boxes from hand painted tyvek and liquid starch soaked fabric Then had to resort to math to make them small enough to fit sturdy mailers The hanging butterflies took me to marquee styled popup cards These hearts hang from fishing line ~ 6lb Look very fragile but are very strong It has been fun creating art for what Deena calls Greeting Card Day Posted 16 February ~ Lunch CHECK OUT THE BOXES, DANGLES AND TANGLES and the wonderful orchid that filled six weeks Posted 31 March ~ evening
