A new Creative Sprint CLASS! Days 1 and 2

Introduce yourself!

 Day 1 - Introduce yourself. I rubber stamped my name on a postcard multiple times. Simple. But I didn't see where to put text on this first one. Oh well. Learning curve.

Day 2 - make something to hold in the palm of your hand. In the past, I'd make a tiny folded book. This time I made a tiny mask, since I'm making masks for family members. It's for this new doll, which I got for our grandgirl. She can't come over and get it, so I'm "playing" with it. We did a zoom meeting as I opened the package and dressed the doll as she wanted me to. Fun.  And I figured out how to add text! It's a new platform for me.

How people make these tiny doll clothes is amazing. My fingers are too big!!

Think Small, Mail Art & more

 I'm participating in ThinkSmall again. In the past, I've entered collages and sculptures, but this year I decided to do something conceptual and minimal. I had a small jar that fit the size limitations. I filled the jar 1/2 full with those circles of map that I used to create my skull for the Skull Appreciation exhibit. They're from pages of a Larousse Atlas from 1911 (or earlier.) I call the piece  "Le Monde 1911" DIY collage/100+year old map pieces.   You can shake it like a snow globe and change the shape of the map stacks in the jar.

 These are for my day 331. I used one of the photos labeled 1948 - Opera Martha combined with my photos from back when I was using film.

 I'm very taken by the narrative that gets set up when I combine two disparate photos.

 In today's pieces (day 332) I used a photo that I took at the Tour de France in 1990, in Paris. It's quite uninteresting. I paired each half with half of a photo of my deceased friend's father and his wife.

 The photo of Phil and Pearl was taken in Miami Beach, Florida, USA. I'm using fragments of sentences from an old art history book as titles. "Phil - His emotions woke in me something of a conscious grasp of the problems..."  "Pearl - Expressive emphasis which breaks down their separate identities..."

At the end of my 365 project, I'm going to give away my rubber stamp to someone who's still doing daily mail art.  I"m asking people to send me their name and I'll assign a number, then select the winner via a random number generator. so far, only one person has said that they're interested. Hmmm. I might not need the RNG.
