Out of Commission


Like this cracker house with many of it's parts out of repair, I've been out of commission the last couple of days with back, hip, intestine and possibly kidney problems. But like the cracker house I'm still standing. I hope to be back soon.


I really want to make a cracker house out of clay like this one; it has so much character but that will have to wait. These windows would make a great wall hanging with the tattered curtains and broken glass. I feel a mixed media piece coming up real soon.


The lace curtains still look fresh in the front window and the wood isn't weathered under the porch, amazing. The porch is long since gone though.


The back porch is in really good condition. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  13. Thanks everyone I am slowly improving, the last two years some days I could do anything, other days I could do nothing, each day I am glad I made it that far but some days I wondered if I could go on, hopefully things will get back to what is normal for me soon. No matter what I always have so many ideas, but often, too often for my taste, various circumstances prevent me from doing more with my work, travel, and other things I feel are important. Well a new year is approaching and perhaps the white rabbit will help with improvements.
