Checks Can Return

 

My collaging on this wooden salad bowl started easily twenty years ago. 

I like to work gluing and pasting - picking up things and make them into art.

This piece began when I found a lost small old electric paper cutter.

I was thrilled that day to find it

  along with a box stuffed with 25 year old checks 

  from the bank.

  These two would go together. I was sure.

They did - but I set it aside

  before it was finished. 

A few weeks ago I found the box I had filled with all I checks I still had.

Hurray.

Not thrown away.
