It is about 12.5" by 5". I found the wood in my basement (we have a huge pile of scraps left from construction) I liked its shape. It is actually wider at the top (not just perspective). I found the images and story of 'Inky' the homeless man from a Life magazine from the 1940's. The Mayor of NYC was 'collecting' homeless to join our military in WWII. The article was very moving and so were the images. Inky needed to be seen again. So here he is. Inky from the Bowery in NYC.
~I am a thirty-something, somewhat educated woman who makes home with my husband, three kids and two dogs.
~I have seen most of the world. ~I have sinned, loved, lost, forgiven, forgotten, quit, but never given up. ~I love creating- life, art, messes, love. ~I love cleaning up- life, art, messes, love. ~I have a dark side. ~I love rainy days. ~I have a sick sense of humor. ~I believe that paint and/or fabric can make anything beautiful. ~I love the Met in NYC.~I love History. ~I forget lots of things-names, faces, what I just said, phone messages. ~I have no regrets-every step (good or bad) has brought me to this moment, and it's marvelous. ~I love making my children laugh- most of all I love it when they make me laugh...
