Happy Birthday to Depot Artspace

It's been 15 years since the Depot Artspace opened in Devonport. My friend, the darling Ruby Piddington has organised an exhibition there to mark the event, and has asked me to show a piece. Plus she's organised the Depot Dot exhibition, incorporating a small white circle and asking artists to showcase their work on it. So I had a bit of fun with this, created with found objects and lots of PVA. The ballerina is off my childhood jewellrey box, if you keep something long enough it will find a new place in the world. This is the smallest book I've ever made, coptic bound and fits into a pill box.  I have added a milagro for good luck, for the new owner, assuming someone buys it.

I went over the lines.
