I am Icharus.
Except instead of wax and feathers,
I'm patched together with glitter glue,
writing morsels and
cups of hot tea.
Struck by a blaze of new story lightning,
I'm going down.
That's a good thing, right?
...Right?
Muttering at walls, scribbling
"Words are my wings!" on sticky notes,
covered in ink smudges,
I'm delightedly doomed.
But not too doomed
to help with peg dolls.
Indeed!
And Ancient Greek peggies at that. 
Athena, patron of wisdom, and arts and crafts!
She's an owl lady.
Aphrodite, patron of love.
Peacock lady.
Also compared to a cow in some circles.
Now you know.
Parthenon?
Ruler. Cardboard. Scissors. Tape. White glue.

... was the title of The Arts Center's entry in the local Christmas Parade this year. Every year it comes together beautifully in the end, what a lot of fun!

I wanted a quick collage for project 4 since I didn't meander down to my studio until 10:00 tonight. I had already created four other animals (bear, duck, pig, and owl) on recycled cardboard dividers from a case of beer.
I need a better schedule if I'm going to keep this up for another 361 days! Oy!
Recycled elements: cardboard, scrap paper, ribbon remnant

Baby is Back.
Baby is Back. - Detail
GUEST CHECK
I love you so much baby
Even know you can be a bitch
I still love you
Cause I know who you really are
So please bring her back baby
We can have a great life together
But it's up to you
I love you baby
Have a merry x-mas
Love Austin
I found this note in the ditch by my mailbox a couple years ago and have been inspired by it since. I am intrigued by the use of "baby" and the multitude of emotions layered in this short note...pleading, love, insults, ambivalence...all written on a restaurant guest check. What a story! Who is baby? Did she get this note and toss it in the ditch? Or was Austin too proud or embarrassed to give it to her?
Recycled elements: guest check "love" note, ticket stub, magazine paper, stationary, parking stubs and other memorabilia.

When elves visit,
be they wee bairns,
or white-whiskered and jolly
it is best to
provide snacks
and woolly stockings.
Might I also suggest
a means of documentation -
for doubters, and writers alike.
How else will people believe us?
I've started keeping a notebook and pens at the ready,
in case elves, or story lightning strikes.

 By Elijah, age 4  By Eric, much older than 4 The kids over at the Chicken Nugget Lemon Tooty blog have been sharing their illustrations now for 5 years! To celebrate their 5th anniversary, artists have been invited to contribute artwork based on one of the kid's drawings. I decided to create something based on Elijah's (age 4) panda. Please take the time to visit their blog and tell those kids how awesome they are. And if you would like to create an illustration, they are taking submissions through the end of August.

    Hurray for Dolly Donations, the blog who connected us with the right people! The kids helped me make three dolls for displaced children in Japan:  repurposed pants and silk vest turned into Fuzzy Pink girl,  quilting scraps became Princess Leia Buns and Blue Bunnie. (Thank you, Sharon, for the beautiful scraps!)

Brilliant, as usual! BTW, my 1 1/2 year old is OBSESSED with your book ICSJF! I'm going to have to buy a copy. She can only say "I" but she sees the book and starts screaming "I, I, I". I'm afraid the book is getting loved to pieces but I'm excited to purchase a fresh new copy to store away for their kids someday. So cool!!!
Thank you, Michaele!
I love it! Wish it was Halloween again ;)
What you do is inspiring. I make my son painted animals from recycled food boxes. This is wonderful♥ Great way to reuse items that would other wise be thrown away.
Thanks so much Berenice and Sophia!
