Prompt Challenge: Caboodle

The monthly word for my prompt challenge group is

caboodle: noun (Informal) :the lot, pack, or crowd. Syn: assemblage

Suzanne, who’s in the group, has been encouraging me to get away from using the computer to do my design work, so I decided to concentrate on the synonym, assemblage. This reminded me immediately of the black sculptures of Louise Nevelson—they fascinated me as a kid and I have a postcard of her work tacked up on my bulletin board from an exhibit I went to a few years ago. Since I’ve been working in miniature with my matchbox books, I did a little homage to Nevelson—all hand-cut paper and messy glue stick.

Not quite done with the word, I also made a matchbox-sized book of color study collages around the Ornette Coleman quote “one must zig zag unless there is a circle”
