I like that your imaginative mind makes these unusual associations - that's creativity!<br /><br />I hope you'll be able to transfer your photos to your PC.

The labyrinth is mine but she, a female artist made it. I will start by taking a picture of it but before I can post it I will have to find out why I can no longer transfer from camera to PC.<br />Stay well.Ellenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965850008354379369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746593.post-58142933951687241842013-06-02T00:45:10.417+01:002013-06-02T00:45:10.417+01:00Beth: I'd like to see the picture.

But maybe that's th wrong attitude!<br /><br />Ellena: Ronald Reagan on paper rolls? What do you mean? Am I being dim?<br />Can you post some photos of your paper works on your blog? I'd like to see "Labyrinth".Nataliehttp://www.nataliedarbeloff.com/blaugustine.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746593.post-64652613046218574882013-06-01T21:06:41.350+01:002013-06-01T21:06:41.350+01:00I admire the thoughts that went into construction ...I admire the thoughts that went into construction of the nest for the journal. Ronald Regan's name also appeared on many paper rolls in 1984. Your cast paper pictures would go well with my 'Labyrinth' which is also a paper work. It looks as if she had drawn and coloured and then crumpled up.

Some of it hangs on my walls, some of it on other people's walls and some I've lost sight of but may have kept pictures of.

Of course I like the scrolling out to display your name, along with the title ... continung story! Just marvellous and I like especially the small-size ingenuity and creativity - not to mention dexterity - to make the mechanics of the scrolling action.<br /><br />As for the cast paper, well gob-smacked would be one word for me! How lovely.<br /><br />What will you pull out of the hat next? How on earth do you manage to store all these things?? You can't just pile them in a corner, I don't think.<br /><br />Best wishes, Adamaddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989766403745491804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746593.post-24205596654718765302013-05-29T20:27:49.410+01:002013-05-29T20:27:49.410+01:00Dick, I'll try the Archers but then won't ...Dick, I'll try the Archers but then won't it become another ear-worm?

Your ancient relics are very appealing, with a distinctive little Natalie-person in them of course!

Papermaking and casting is really fascinating but I don't think it's something I would pursue. <br />Can you try lighting your paper pieces so they can be photographed?<br /><br />Tom, am going to dose myself with vitamins and something called Phosphor tonic which is supposed to be a good energy-reviver. Meanwhile my ear worm is now repeating a different song!<br /><br />Beth, ah paper pulp! The tons of it needed to produce even a very small<br />piece are too much for a humble kitchen blender to cope with.

That reminds me I long ago did a series of pressed paper/mixed media pieces which I've never shown as they are hard to photograph.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing more of your autobiography and art.
