"Measure Up!"

 

"Measure Up"●

I love collecting stuff. I collect everything, especially things that are well used, and have lived a life before finding me. Things that measure have always been of special interest. This piece is made entirely (almost) of vintage rulers, yard sticks and skirt markers. Constructed on a 12"x7" sections of kitchen cabinet doors, and framed in yard sticks.

The Imaginist Theater, a local theater group in Santa Rosa will hold it's 2nd annual fundraiser "IMAGINART, Luck Of The Art Draw" this coming weekend. I have donated this piece to be auctioned off at this event.  http://www.theimaginists.org/  (click on any image to enlarge)

"The End" (again)

"The End (again)"●

"EVERYTHING WILL BE OK IN THE END, IF IT'S NOT OK IT'S NOT THE END" John Lennon

   I made a similar one of these boxes a few months ago, and it 'flew' out of the gallery!  So i thought I would make another one. The base for this one is the lid of an explosives box.  The frame is made from vintage yard sticks cut to size.  Children's wood blocks spell out the message, and a tiny frog on the top looks on.
