List-making:
- worked on new project (a collaboration– as yet, and to remain for a time, unnamed)
- poured resin into new jewelry bits
- made updates to several Work projects

Today came an envelope written in the penciled hand of my younger nephew, Rhett. The envelope contained: a letter from him; a note about a boy (sadly flattened by a fallen bulletin board) on a (nonetheless joyful) adventure by post; and the boy himself, Flat Stanley™! I’ve heard of this intrepid traveler before, and now he has arrived in Brooklyn! It shall be my charge to take him around and show him the ‘burg, then send him back to his classroom of origin bearing souvenirs and photographs– proofs with which to share his adventure! Here’s a sliver of said flat chap:
More to follow as regards his journey and any attendant excitement and/or mishaps. (Let’s hope he hasn’t any mishaps!)
