Evolve and Resolve

I just can't help it, I'm a Gemini. I'm always of two minds about everything. This or that? I have several blogs most of which are fairly neglected. I started this one last year for my Bricolage show. I also have another blog Evolutions and Transformations. I was going to make that my primary blog until I realized that I have linked this one to the Natural Evolution Collaboration. So I have renamed this one and this will be blog #one.

I have been reading some amazing blogs and I have resolved to do what I can to upgrade mine and make it fun and interesting.....as well as up to date. Blogger is much more user friendly than when I started.

The Altered Page: Natural Evolution

Seth at The Altered page has a winter project of placing bundles of paper in the outdoors to observe the natural evolution. He invited others to particpate with their own projects.

I put my project outside today. Using my theme of Bricolage, I just gathered up some stuff I have around the studio. I did some magazine pages, some paper towels, some coffee filters and tea bags and a book.

I wrapped the bundles in different kinds of wire. The book I splashed some paint on and then wrapped it in aluminum mesh. I hung my bundles on a tree branch sculpture that I made in front of my house. I can watch the fun out my front window.
