For my project, I used stuff I found around the house and glue: craft glue, hot glue, school glue and super-duper glue recommended by my super Glue Consultant and now you wish you had a Glue Consultant too.  I used wire and yarn and cloth and thread and sticks; finger puppets and feathers; silk flowers and Sharpie and paint; beads and duct tape because of course; cardboard and paper and printer ink, fake fruit and foam and plastic so much plastic, so many plastic bags, so very many many plastic bags we had to grocery shop before we could scoop the litter box this week  

​

I used a bra that belonged to my Mother twenty pounds ago, inadvertent cat hair, physics, a pin of Joan Jett, Patron Saint of ‘80s punk the trimmed hem of the bridesmaid gown my sister wore on my wedding day 

 

I used things rescued from the recycling bin and

 

the donation bag and two of the twelve and a half hula hoops in my house a tiny prize my progeny found in a ball of chalk when they were children a hundred years ago, swearing, purple rat-tail cord purchased in 1974, most of my husband’s patience and oh I almost forgot dryer lint
