The
GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out) book was made from garbage that cycles through my house over a day or two (including the junk that arrives in the mail). The magazine pages and scraps are from magazines I fished out of the dumpster in my building.

A little bird told me to look at your post today... I wonder which one? this book reminds me of Poe the Crow from Sterling North's book, Rascal. Lovely, edgy, and well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vivika - apparently we have birds in common. Don't know the book, I'll search it out.
