But I hiked off to my last collage class yesterday, though I would have made it there if I had to use victim transport to get there. Of course I had nothing to show for my week since the last class, so I tried to manufacture something on the spot by cruising around finding other people's sources and accepting them gratefully. I did manage to come up with two pieces that I am almost satisfied with, so I hope to work on them this morning and finalize some decisions there. Sound better than 'glue' doesn't it? I also have the two original attempts about maps, but they both involve a trip to Kinkos which is miles away before I can go further.
One of the problems about collage is that there are never the right images available so first you need a huge stash of things to pick through. I threw out all the old magazines in the house when I cleaned it for the renovation, and now that I finally have a studio (which unfortunately has become the Dump Room) I need a different form of storage to accommodate all this flippin' paper. And new glue.
I signed on for another intensive class in March too, 'Artists Books', one whole week of all day every day- a serious indulgence. Can't wait.

omg, Sandy, I am just catching up on your blog and read about little Hazel with horror! I am SO glad to hear she is better and is home - thank god! Then -- YOU?? Oy is right!
No doubt all the stress exacerbated your situation but glad you, too, are ok and back home. Stay off the green jello.
