DiSco reveal

Way back in February I began a collaborative project with Seth from The Altered Page and over a hundred other artists. You can read about the earlier exploits here and here . The climax of this is to be a display of projects created from the disintegrated papers. After the big reveal of grunged up papers in May I actually left mine out in the elements as they hadn't disintegrated very much. Hardly at all - except for the puppy teeth marks from my sister's dog who felt it needed some extra help. Look what happened during the last three months.



Out of three rolls of paper I got a page and a half that was usable. One roll was filled with creatures that had made it their home so I left it in situ - insects need a place to call home too. Another had a small snail living up the inside but I gently removed it and found it a new home in the undergrowth. The rest had disintegrated through the action of insects, birds and possibly rodents chewing it for bedding. I am amazed that so much 'damage' was done in three months of summer when little effect was seen after three months of rain, hail, sleet, snow and sun between February and May.

So, now for my pictures. I made a few items that I felt fitted the DiSco theme - an ATC (even the paperclips and strings were out in the elements with the paper rolls), a couple of inchies, two beads and a 3x1 inch Memory Frame filled with collaged papers.

Update: It seems the picture of my DiSco goodies won't enlarge. I can't figure out why so I will try to photograph them again and re-post a picture later. Apologies for the inconvenience and thanks to everyone for commenting.
