The Eternal Art Project

Oh, hello, sister, mother, followers.  I began this project back in 2004, my junior year of college - and have not stopped.  The assignment was to take a book of your choice and, essentially, destroy it.  So, in my case, I took an old book of poems, and spent the year recreating it.
 The freedom involved in a project like this is liberating.  Everyday I contributed something new, whether it be a lyric, a photo, a drip of paint, pop-up art (that skill will never die, family) - whatever!  One of my favorites was actually creating a poem out of a poem.  Sneaky, I know.
The best part about this, as I mentioned, is that I still jot things down and paste things on.  Its a project for you to enjoy, for as long as you'd like to enjoy it. 
 Go get yourself a book and have some fun.
