Lacey, part 2 (and a plea for old photo slides)

This one barely made it to the shop before it was already gone. The same goes for several other pieces! I'm absolutely delighted by this sudden blast of orders (i.e. the money couldn't have come at a better time, you guys saved my trip and my art project and many other things)!
There's something comforting in the soft fuzziness of this handmade lace paper - and also in the dimensions of this book. I have a special fondess for books that are either tall and slim or simply square-ish. I try to surround myself with aesthetically pleasing things. I claim that aesthetically pleasing is not the same as beautiful, but I may be the only one who thinks so.
Speaking of aesthetics; If you happen to have any useless old photo slides you can bear to part with, they would have a good future as a part of my visual poetry project. There's a good chance they will be written on, cut, destroyed or possibly even shown as is. If you're interested in donating a slide or two or a hundred, drop me a line. You can find my e-mail address in my profile or you can leave me a comment with yours. Thanks so much in advance!
