Excavating

My studio space is littered with small, partially done assemblages. Even though they’re all potentially simple, they seem to be taking forever to come together.
I knew exactly what I needed to finish one of them – a crushed bottle cap that looks like a mouth – but I can’t find it anywhere and I’m frustrated.
During the excavation process I came across plenty of stuff I’d forgotten I had, as well as things I thought I’d lost. This mandala was one of them. For some reason I’d decided to cut it in half, and the two pieces migrated away from each other (of course). Thanks to PhotoShop, they’ve been digitally merged, and the real time pieces are now in the same place.
