Tuesday, 25th November
I was reading an article in ‘Time Out’ (No. 2302) about lost property found on London’s transport system.
Boy, would I love to get my hands on that stuff.
Lots of dentures. Some stories there.
If You Are New Here:
I like to make art from stuff nobody else wants. Stuff from the bin. Stuff with a secret history.
I absolutely never cut up books which could otherwise be read, or clothes which could otherwise be worn. Nor, do I erase the blemishes left by life. I cherish life’s blemishes.
A few years back, I bought six vintage linen napkins in a charity shop, for the meagre sum of two pounds. So far, I have turned three of my napkins into sewn diaries, using fast food leaflets, old magazines and books.
Each of my napkins represents a month, with a different entry for each day. For example, the day Lynda Bellingham died, I added the Oxo box from my kitchen cupboard.
November is my fourth napkin, the others are June, May and October. Some of them can be found in my shop.
I have always wanted to rake around in a lost property office too.
I like that you are using images and text in your napkin.
It would be great, some people don’t get it!
scary gnashers…
How can so many people leave their teeth on public transport?
I have to tell you. We used to run a Christian camp, and went round clearing up after everyone had gone. You wouldn’t believe the things that got left behind – and one day we found a complete set of false teeth left in the showers…
Haha. I just can’t work out how these things happen!
