I went off and played with the new materials, brought a picture back to my grandfather, who looked at it, turned it sideways and said, "It's a mushroom!" I told him it wasn't, it was a design. But he took it, framed it, and hung the "mushroom" on the wall. As an adult, I got it back. It's in a closet somewhere, on its side, the design, like I drew it.<br /><br />As for repurposing, I'd be very curious to see what he would do—that's not really the issue, I have tons of stuff around—but I want to be respectful and don't want to offend him in any way.Alisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04649805582936306865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380631593644516380.post-76561155475369711192012-09-17T12:22:51.001-07:002012-09-17T12:22:51.001-07:00This makes me think of the child who, when asked w...This makes me think of the child who, when asked what the painting was about, said, all exasperated with adult questioning:" It just IS."<br /><br />I hope you see your sculptor again.<br /><br />And, not to nag you, but...if a book was repurposed, would that be so bad? dinahmowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052642938090553088noreply@blogger.com
