Bobbi died yesterday.

She was 59.   Cancer is awful.  I am working on Chemo Today.  We are building the front wall.

This morning I worked on Destroyer.  It sounds like Bof A has destroyed itself.  BofA changes name to Destroyer of America.

Anger gives way to sadness

I still think a civil protest against Bank of America is called for.  My idea is to trace the outline of your shoe, write your comments in the image and mail it to BofA headquarters.   Inundate them with paper.  Good for the PO and the firemarshall could declare their offices a fire hazard.  Not so good for the environment, you KNOW they don’t believe in recycling.

We wait and pray as Bobbi makes the long walk home.2-19

A step at a time

A recurring theme in my paintings are boxes that signify prayers or angels or wishes.    I am going to make small paper boxes to hang in Chemo Today that will have prayers written on the inside.  I experimented with using paper and a box that I was going to recycle.  Thanks to an interest in handmade books I have the tools to make little boxes.  I tied these, so someone could untie it and read the message.  A little like a fortune cookie.  But that may not be practical if they don’t put it back.  Or does that matter?

Good models are hard to find!

If you think funding for the NEA is pork, go soak your head!  And rural access for the internet, YES.   making prayer boxesboxes of paper and recycled cardboardmodel

back wall

This is the back panel of Chemo Today.  It’s 87″x48, and will be 7 inches narrower when we attach the walls.   2-4

Straight lines

I used a ruler to get the straight line.  I have a problem with lines or edges.  I guess I’m not a crispy critter.2-2

Carpentry

It was warm enuf to do some of the carpentry on Chemo Today.  We ran out of wood glue, of all things.   Gregg works Mon. & Tues. so it will be Wed before we get back to it.  Do you have any travel posters or postcards that you’d like to include.   Despite her frustration with no hair and the therapy, she still has hopes, dreams and plans
