Step two :
I gave it a skin of silver duct tape that I found in the
furnace room. This old place is just full of little nooks and cranny's to hide in...
The trim is the seal off an old coffee can I found in the kitchen,and the doors and windows are cut out of card board and covered with the tape.
Don't tell anyone I was in the basement...they might fix the lock and I wouldn't be able to go down there any more.
Coming up next, window treatments...
I'm back after a brief hiatus into the real world where I realized there's much more sanity in here than there is out there. It's a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. My biggest job here, as artist in residence, is trying to work with this stupid straight jacket on. Enjoy your visit, and please feed the inmates with your whispered comments, it pleases them and also helps keep them quiet.

I must be doing better because this time around they let me have scissors. I have to be very careful not to run with them or they said they will take them away from me. I had to promise, and had to write 20 times 'I will not run with scissors', 'I will not run with scissors', 'I will not run with scissors'...they didn't say anything about throwing them !!!
While I was out in the real world I started building a Trailer Park out of cardboard and paper. That project will continue here. I will try to start at the beginning so bare with me because supplies are limited in this place. I have paper
(empty cereal boxes), glue, paints, some clay, and my new
scissors, which I promised I wouldn't run with. I wouldn't
throw them either cause that wouldn't be very nice.
Here's the first step. I drew a pattern on the back of a cornflakes box and the tires I made from Fimo, a clay you can cure in a home oven...in my case I had to let the cafeteria lady bake them for me...
Stay tune, more to follow, I promise :)
