Request for Artist Droppings
I have had this idea running through my head for many years - I have even gone as far as scrambling around the floor s of friends studios picking up the teeny tiny scraps of what they do and I made this book to house the bits.
Walter and I have a show coming up that is to be installed on the 28th of September. Close. But now I know that I would like to put this together as a book for the show.
If you have the desire to be a part of this, please send an envelope with tiny scraps that represent what you do... colours and texture. Be it fabric or crunchy paint, bits of olde paper cut out paper, glitter. Animal hair human hair or flowers. Send send! And please put your name on it. I will be writing each artists name on the opposing page of the collage of droppings.
I am going to be selective.
Please pass this on and send them quickly! It is absurd of me to figure this out now but I have. And I want it.

ReplyDeleteHi Margaux!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea and sent a little bag and realised that I did not put 'scrapplings' on the envelope - my apologies! You have a Craft colored envelope coming to you from Cal. from Lisa Hannah. I didn't have a whole lot to gather...just from some very recent projects I had been working on.
enjoy!
Lisa
I don't know how I missed this post! posting scraps in the new week!! ~Lauralynn
ReplyDeleteThank you so far for the scrapplings received! I NEED MORE MORE MORE!
ReplyDeleteSo this must be why I compulsively save scraps too tiny for me to re-use... They're on their way to you! I even snuck back out to the mailbox and poked a few extras into the corner of the sealed envie. I hope you post photos of the finished project!
ReplyDelete~Nikki
Scrapplings posting on the morrow!
