Blue on Yellow Crosses, Transcendent Old Crayon Drawing 1930s art supplies I've been keeping an eagle

I've been keeping an eagle eye out for early beaded needle books since finding a marvelous one with a house and the phrase "remember me" on it months ago -- these types of examples

with a little age and light wear

I really love his hour glass waist and especially the crudely punched holes in his mask dotting out two big eyes and an awkward smile

Losses as evident and described above but stable and sound and not especially fragile

Blue on Yellow Crosses, Transcendent Old Crayon Drawing 1930s art supplies I've been keeping an eagleSpotted from a distance at the Allentown PA show, this crayon drawing made my heart race. To my eye a perfect, gorgeous thing, which if I came across it in a museum would also make me swoon and want to take it off the wall and bring home. One cross an echo of the other, but its own thing. Geometric forms, but not a straight line anywhere. Color and line and pattern and metaphor, too. And equally good any way you turn it. Love. 11 1 4" x 9". Good
