Yesterday I posted about the release of a new book from Roxanne Evans Stout: Storytelling with Collage: Techniques for Layering, Color and Texture
Roxanne invited a number of guest artists to create artwork and share their stories. I am so pleased to have been asked to be part of this wonderful book and to have contributed Lost and Found.

Lost and Found
As I walk through the world, I am always on the lookout for the lost.
I seek objects with a history that have been discarded.
Every find is a true treasure that makes my heart beat just a bit faster.
Each object comes with its own history that will now continue rather than end.
All the pieces await their turn, at the ready for the time when they are needed to complete an artwork. Sometimes that is immediate but most times, the wait is long.
The objects don't seem to mind.

Very beautiful!
I wonder which stories all those found objects would tell if they could speak. ;)
You really have some magnificent finds in this piece, Seth - and joined together, they sing!
Congratulations Seth. A great collection of interesting junk.
I love this piece Seth, the colors, the feelings... And your story. I love your words too.

Gorgeous, Seth! I can't wait to see the book.
Just beautiful. Like life, somehow all the pieces just fit!
Interesting story behind your finds! I will have to stop & look at things a little differently now.
Looks like one of the objects is a "tap" from a shoe. Hmmmm. I know where to go hunting.;)
I LOVE to see your INSPIRING art work!
All the best to YOU.
I love to create with found objects too. This piece is fabulous, Seth! Congratulations on having it published in the book! The broken spoon is a great eye-catcher.
As I read your posts, I hear your voice, and it's so soothing and calming... Lol! Thank you for that. I love that these were found objects, as I too always pick up discarded things along my way. I love that they have such a fabulous new home! Great piece, just wonderful.
Seth is that the spoon I sent you?!? Congratulations!!
This is so interesting and marvelous! I wonder what the pieces would say if it could talk? I bet all would have a story to tell! Huge congrats on your feature in the book as well! Bravo and marvelous! ~Niki
This is so complex and wonderful.
The intrigue in your piece is what holds me there. So much scatter - but it is the fabric that holds it all together for me. So love the foundation of yellow. Beautiful eclectic work. Congrats to you Seth.
Congratulations on being included in Roxanne's gorgeous book Seth.
Very well deserved of course with your distinctive work that always draws me in.
You are the master at rescuing lost items and giving them a new life with great stories to tell. That spoon!!!

Seth, Beautiful piece and I love that spoon too. xoxo
Beautiful creation Seth, with so many treasures! So much to look at and discover, and also so beautiful as a whole. I can't wait to see the book and discover all that Roxanne and contributing artists have shared.
Your works are exciting! Tim moved things around in my office cleaning. The pieces that I have of yours are now in new locations. :-)
Very cool piece Seth! Love the wires twisted around the spoon- great look!
Congrats on being in Roxanne's book!
