Clay rocks



Using an idea of a friend of mine, I've made a few clay balls in my pottery class. Well, one is more rock shape than ball shape, on purpose. I put rocks in the balls to make it rattle, but my rocks fell out. (Is this akin to losing your marbles??) Anyway, I plan on leaving these two in local parks where they may not be found until next spring...unless someone enjoys fall hikes as much as I do. I'll attach (somehow) a laminated tag with the Found Art sticker. I sure hope someone lets me know when they find these. I particularly would like to hear from the person who finds the one that looks more like a rock. I have a feeling it will go overlooked for a long time, so it'll be interesting to hear how someone noticed it...what made them pick it up. Maybe it will be the tag that they think is litter that will get them to pick it up. We'll see! I'll report back again when I finally leave these pieces.

Flying Art

I was out of town on business this past week. I left one piece of art in the pocket of the seat in front of me on the airplane. I assume one of the Flight Attendants found it when cleaning up the flight for the next one. I also left a piece of art in one of the drawers in my hotel room. One of the cleaning staff or maybe the next guest will find it. It would be interesting to know where they end up.

DMV

I had to get temporary plates for my car as it transitions from leased to owned, so I was in the DMV on Lindberg this past week. I left 4 pieces of art there -- 2 on the counter someone who is very bored and very perceptive may find, and 2 on a table with pamplets. I hope no one throws them away! They are pretty small and may go unnoticed. We'll see.
