Notecards and paper goods can be fashioned with any number of two-dimensional objects, or even three-dimensional objects. again, the focus is on the "rescue" and "redirection" of things nobody wants, or things that have one use, being transformed into something else. i like to see things be matched with someone who will give them a loving home, and i enjoy the inital intent of an object to be "tweaked" into something new and fresh, that someone will cherish as a gift or in their own collection of "things beloved."
