Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

Been Soldering on......


I love raiding Matthews garage.... men have such interesting stuff in there.... I have found his soldering iron and a reel of wire!, and what fun it is! OK... i know the soldering isn't too neat, but I like the effect as it is.... obviously if I ever improve I will say I like the neat look!
Sentimental old me, loves the thought that the tin of Flux, once belonged to his Dad, who died a few years ago, and there is an old matchstick in there that he used to apply the flux...... daft I know, but i like the idea that he once sat at his table with this matchstick in his hand.
Much to Matthews annoyance, these will be flying off to new homes tomorrow.... But if he agrees to spend the evening bending the frames into ATC size shapes for me, I'll make him one!
