Betty Or Bettie?

The Child's World First Reader, published by Johnson Publishing Company, 1917

Oh to be young and conflicted as to the best spelling of your name.... B-E-T-T-Y or B-E-T-T-I-E? And now Miss Betty Doris Winn's reader has found its way to my studio.

Shells Collage

Shells, original collage on book page

I found this collage tucked under a pile of books last night. Totally forgot about it after I made it a few weeks ago. What a nice surprise to discover work I forgot I ever created!

Divisor Collage

Divisor, original collage on scribbled book cover

I love opening old books and finding their interiors full of scribbles. Discarded schoolbooks are more often than not filled with these treasures. This is the back cover of a State of Kansas, seventh grade arithmetic book from the 1930's. It was used by a kid named Bernie at one point in time.
