My mixed media art teacher is in the United States at the moment - collecting inspiration and ideas and all kinds of lovely things for her students. Before she left, she gave each of us a homework project. Mine is to make a book using fabric and stitching, with Emily Dickinson's famous
poem about Hope as starting point. After reading and researching for a bit, I decided to use the Pandora's Box
story as the central theme.
Page 1: Pandora - the all-gifted - desired the one thing she was not given by the gods, knowledge, to
know things
, oh, how she wanted to
know!
She did not understand then that knowledge would bring with it the distinction between good and evil.

Yes, be careful what you wish for.
But I do like what you've done with your homework.
