Well I haven’t been here as much as I would have liked in the past month. Good reason though – I had two car accidents within a week & a half of each other. Picture of the first one :
Don’t have a picture of the second.
First time guy in front of me stopped very suddenly & CRASH! Second time guy behind me CRASH!ed into me. Karma? I’m only telling you this because while I have been dealing with the crap that comes from two accidents in two weeks I was tagged by two of my favorite girls – Christine & Laetitia – to show my tools. It has taken me a while to get to it but here they are – they aren’t pretty but they work for me:
Real sophisticated, huh? But I’m a simple girl.
I think I am supposed to tag 5 other people but since I am late to the game & most people have already played I will just send out a general call to anybody who reads this to show your tools or your process.

Eeeek GADS!, Rachel! How awful! Thank God you are alright!
um, yeah, I’d sure do a leeetle prayer of some kind before um hitting (heh) the road again?! Couldn’t hurt!?
I was just going to check in with you and make exciting talk about Flowering Thoughts! I have (actually actually) flowers, wire and pictures to send to you in case they make it inspiring to create the puppet(s)!
Sending much good thoughts to you! Shelley

Oh my, the car looks pretty bad, glad you’re ok. I’m smiling seeing your tools of the “trade”. I don’t have much more either. Some of the best art is made with the simplest, traditional tools (I’m into African sculptures nowadays, amazing).

I love seeing your tools! Hey you know the less the better..you have what you need and the rest is your talent and hands..that says alot! And I liked seeing the paper mache being stirred..maybe thats what I should use my hand mixer for since I don’t bake..hehe. Thanks for showing us:)
