I am going to post photographs of the pieces I received and a daily journal of the assemblage I will be buidling for the auction. Below are two photographs of the items that were in my box. You can see I got lots of fabrics, lumber, imitation slate, slabs of marble, concrete, stone, brushes, broken dishes. Oh man, lots of stuff. Anastasia S. Weigle of In A Bind.
