The girls started as piles of stuff I've collected over the years. What do you do with a 10 gallon acquarium full of pencils? or sever 5 gallon buckets of empty nitrous oxide containers? A normal person looks for a place to sell or dump them. An artist turns them into something.

Thus started A Thousand Things

Made of left over nitrous oxide containers from a party at Red, White and Blue Beach many years ago.

|
| | 5.) | Leda |
Made from hundreds of old pencils collected when I was a teacher. Stored in a 10 gallon fish tank for years, they went through my 2003 fire-which can still be seen on some of them. The back is made of modern dollar stor pencils from china.
|
| | 6.) | Elecktra (unfinished) |
