Organizing around here and some items become unearthed. These materials clearly date to the time when we had to put up a garden to fence to keep baby Anna from tumbling down the slope and stairs. A time when Sam was really into assembling scraps. Brown paper, a piece of fencing, red thread and plastic packing ties. And a very careful needle. That fence came down a year ago, and it has been a long while since Sam made objects like this. The artifact so precisely and elegantly dates itself and I love it so.
Remember that table project from last summer? An extra design decal was dusted off and finally put to good use. One trip to drop-off will show you a minivan is positively naked without some sort of "domestic portrait" statement in the lower corner. And stick figures or skulls never quite seemed to sum it up for me. But these guys are alright.
