TEMPORARY SHELTER

| Temporary Shelter (full view) |
Found objects, papers, copper tape, twine, mica, photographs |
| Temporary Shelter (inside pages) |
Notes: Created for a show at OFFCenter Community Arts Project. I got into a serious car accident after starting the project. This was the first artwork I made while recuperating. I literally laid on the couch and arranged the pages two at a time on a footstool.

BEADED ARTIST TRADING CARDS

| Artist Trading Card |
"Out beyond ideas of rightdoing and wrongdoing,
there is a field.
I'll meet you there." --Rumi
2" x 3-1/2"
Stamped ink and paint on white bead backing,
paper, paper transfers, typography on vellum,
beads and vintage sew-ons.  |
| Artist Trading Card |
"The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep!" --Rumi
Notes: These were created for a swap. We each made 10 or 12 cards. My theme was Rumi. I painted the non-woven polyester bead backing with a single coat of white gesso, which made it possible to print, stamp, and attach transfers to it.
