The Other Half of Another Then and Now
Again, I play with an old piece from nearly four years ago, a piece whose other half recently became a birthday card while this half becomes a postcard to send to my dad. Alone in my studio, I get completely lost in the textured richness of creating a tiny world on a few square inches of paper. I confess I will feel a little tug of loss when I place it in my mailbox to begin its journey away from me to Maine. Away though it will go, I will cherish and hold onto the little gift of gain that comes from becoming aware of how much making I have done in the past four years—I am delighted by the ways in which the get-messy exploration of those years infuses itself into this revised piece.

You are an expert of making a complete world in a 4 x 6 postcard! How did to achieve the knitted texture effect?
thanks, Carol—I do love creating me a complete world in no space at all! knitted texture effect: cement board drywall seam tape
I am always agog at your ability to create these tiny worlds....and they look so BIG on the screen! You are sending a tiny bit of magic out into the cosmos when you pop this one in the mail. :)
Grateful for your agoggination—I do so love to create those tiny BIG worlds; they are as big as any big can be somehow. Love the idea of my popping such a little big into the mail to pop its little- and bigness all the way to Maine.
LOVE! Wow! the light and depth in your wonderful textured, outstanding, orb!
Sheila, you wake me up to my work with your attention to light, depth, texture, and, especially, that word orb—very evocative of something beyond language. Thanks!
