Though we travel

the world over

to find the beautiful,

we must carry it with us

or we find it not.

oh NO! What have I done????

So distressed....

I cleaned my desktop. My virtual (computer) desktop since it needed it and now.... I can't find ANY of my artwork! I have a very clever filing system and the stuff is just NOT THERE! I must have had a morning of Alzheimer's when I was doing that.

So... do you think I should even consider cleaning the real top of my desk?

Probably not.

In the meantime.... here is hope. I found a 12x12 base page that I've been using this month for several of my collages. I just love it and am so anxious to carve it in linoleum and make some real prints of it.... or maybe not. I might loose that, too. Maybe it's emotionally easier to loose digital imagery than real. I dunno.

Ponder.
