my Altered Book entitled

"Our Wide Wide World"

This began as was one of my earliest collages, done in illustration board in 1989. I hated it! So recently I tore all the elements off and rearranged them in this book and glued them down. Voila! The only new thing was the word memories. The young woman's photo was found in my great grandmother's camel back trunk and was inscribed "Fanny Dixon a neighbor girl, The Ozarks, Missouri"
The burned paperback pages blew into my yard one breezy day back then...go figure.
