Early ARTY STUFF - collected 1980's

Gan Focail Gaelige [without Irish words] (Could be 'Without a word of Irish,' which is what I sometimes FEEL like, even though factually that's not quite true.

EMPTY BOXES
I love this image and how it shows just how hard I have been working over the past few weeks.
These boxes were all full of the stuff that has been entered in this blog.
Yes, I know, I haven't quite thrown it all out - but I'm getting there.


and the small image shows a stack of boxes that have been filled and are awaiting shelving on the new shelves.

Piece of shining gold card KEPT for the wrinkles in it.

Image at right shows why I decided to keep the piece of shining gold card.

I can't understand why few other people seem to appreciate the fabulous beauty of WRINKLES.
I love them from every angle - what made these wrinkles - what pushed against the paper, or what was the paper pushed against? As for my own WRINKLES, why would I want to disguise, hide, deny my life history which is recorded on my face. Yes, some are maks of frowns and scowls, but many are from SMILES - and I think its great that there is a permanent record of all the times I felt good enough to smile.
