Using Pens [Nostalgia Alert!!!]





Day 33
Love & Peace Snail

With the History Center's 1968 Exhibit in my head, 
I'm feeling lonesome 
for the art of my teen years.
This snail is dedicated to those days and is inspired by them.

Here are a few examples of that work.

Thanks, Michelle!

It's fun to still have them . . .
and the soles have a thick layer of tar!
We marched the streets in some hot weather.

One such parade was SO hot a trombone player's tennis shoe held tight in the soft tar and he marched right out of it!
