Prayer Boxes


     An element that I have used in my paintings are small boxes floating about.  I think of them as prayers.  Since Chemo Today is 3D, I have made boxes and am hanging them from the ceiling.  First I used recycled cardboard, old cracker and kleenex cartons.  There is sooo much color going on in this closet, I changed to plain white.  Now I've thrown in a few pastels.  I'm also considering putting words on the boxes that would refer to the prayer.  Gregg says the boxes are empty, as soon as we offer them they reach their source.  Not destination, I really do mean source.  Faster than a T-1 line!   This is what a prayer box looks like before it's folded into the box.  I learned the technique while studying handmade books.
