On The Shelf

I HAVEN'T POSTED IN QUITE WHILE. I GUESS I'M IN A BIT OF A WINTER FUNK.
I SUPPOSE IT'S TIME FOR SOME ADDED EXERTION!

TOP SHELF, L TO R: FEMINIST AND FEMININE ART BOOKS; A WOODEN ELEPHANT GIVEN TO ME BY ANANDA; THE BUTTON HOLE ATTACHMENT TO MY 1951 SINGER SEWING MACHINE; BOOKS BY LYNDA BARRY ON TOP OF SOME OM YOGA INSTRUCTION CARDS.

MIDDLE SHELF: A COCONUT SHELL I'VE BEEN SAVING FOR 25 YEARS - I KEEP THINKING I MIGHT MAKE A HANGING PLANT BASKET OUT OF IT; MEXICAN DAY OF THE DEAD SKULLS; A LITTLE BOOKLET ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHIVES OF CHOGYAM TRUNGPA RINPOCHE; A PAPER MACHIE PIG HEAD MADE BY ANANDA IN SECOND GRADE (HER TINSEL HAIR FELL OFF YEARS AGO); A BASKET, CONTENTS UNKNOWN!

BOTTOM SHELF: A NAUTILUS SHELL I GAVE TO MY DAD AS A GIFT - WHEN HE DIED I BROUGHT IT HOME; A LITTLE SOFTIE THAT FOR SOME REASON REMINDS ME OF MY CHILDHOOD ELEPHANT PINKY, EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE HIM; A CHICKEN PINCUSHION MADE BY ELISABETH RADYSH, WITH A POSTCARD OF A JAPANESE MASK; A BUNCH OF TINY TOYS MADE BY ELISABETH RADYSH.
