This is a fitting piece for the final day of my What's in My Drawers series.

It hasn't been in my drawers very long- at least not as a whole piece. The Color Aid paper (from my under graduate days!) cut out heart and the piece of a wall paper sample are in my drawer of collage materials that I pick, choose and rummage through. The other elements have joined together recently to become what I believe will be my holiday/New Year's card this year.

And you can own the original.

So to all my friends, collectors, readers and supporters in this busy complicated times I send you a
Sea of Hearts.

Love and gratitude at the heart of it all. Thank you.

Final Week for What's in My Drawers

Day #27 of What's is My Drawers.

The work is often about the materials as much as the imagery or subject matter. The fork was a departure point to move paint around and use line to draw in space. The dark grey grit of the Carborundum grit mirrors the Fork in the foreground and adds texture to the surface.

The journey is the destination.

My Nana Ceil gave me a sewing machine for my Bat Mitzvah. My Singer sewing machine moved with me from NJ to Brooklyn to Manhattan to CA to HI (and at least 5 times on the island of Oahu!), then back to NJ. Finally sold it before we moved here to PA.

Talk about some heavy baggage. Metaphorically, not physically, though moving anything you no longer use is pointless.

Buttoned Up is a piece post surgeries having learned I have the BRCA2 gene which increases odds for not only breast cancer but ovarian cancer. 

I think in this piece a picture says a thousand words.
