On Christmas a lovely little sister of mine gave me purple leg warmers. They were neatly packaged on a piece of boot shaped cardboard. As I was tossing all the wrapping paper and packaging away, I couldn't toss the boot. Sometimes being an artistic person comes with a cost, the inability to throw away garbage, but then again, what is the definition of garbage? So the boot shaped cardboard was transformed into a beautiful boot (now I want a real pair).
During the transformation the realization hit me, so this is why artist have studios, so their bedroom isn't covered in tissue paper, paper, glue and paint!
