Yes, I know the last one doesn't really look like a boy, but it is. And there are now six boys. But they are all going to be put together in an interesting way, fear not.

Three boys.
Mr Darning Foot has been busy again.

Experiments.
I have lots of failed experiments lying around, and it bothers me to see these sad objects collecting dust. I must use them or throw them out. So I sewed a notebook cover with my Picasso Three Boys experiment. It fits exactly to cover the back and front (boy 1 and 2) and boy 3 makes a nice pocket on the inside for bits and pieces.
I used another piece for decoration on a new moleskine.
Imperfections, indeed ...

A 15-year old project in progress
I was amused to find an old project in a stack of papers this weekend. I started this collage triptych at a time when I was working full-time, studying towards another degree, and raising three boys. None of which I did with great distinction, I have to add.
I can only guess at my mood at the time of making this. It was probably laundry day (Saturday), as triangles of lint from the tumble dryer feature boldly. I also notice that I burnt holes in the paper, and in places entire edges have been destroyed. Hahahaha! Well, I survived, in fact, we all did, so that's great. A success story, so to speak.
I added a bit of paint and some embellishment yesterday. The sign language letters are symbolic. Geddit? Anyway, I am not quite finished yet. The painted areas must be reworked, and I want to add a spot of embroidery.
( Embellishments kindly donated by Mrs LSH of Hamstertown; background paintings by Bertha Everard and Tinus de Jongh, from an old calendar; lint from my old tumble dryer, long departed; Wonder Woman images copyrighted by DC Comics blah, blah blah ...)
