Over the years I have made various wall pieces that hang on the walls of my home. I’m not quite sure what it is about assembling old weathered objects together into these wall hangings that I find soooo<\/span> satisfying<\/span>.

The women as usual, stand strong and proud and standing by their men. But what about the old fashioned (?) courtesy<\/span> extended to women by giving up their seat for them? <\/span><\/p>\n
