My Salix has catkins. When I was looking at them, I remembered a song I learned in school when I was a child. I suspect the song would be banned in most schools today.<\/p>\n

I do have a tendency to perseverate. To attempt to rid myself of the Pussy Willow song I made the wallpiece and I am working on a book with the song in code. <\/p>\n

\"Pussy<\/p>\n

I have an old version of Flash that I use for layout. I like that I can make code symbols that can easily be replaced. I printed the layout and used it for piercing and reference.<\/p>\n

\"Pussy<\/p>\n

Used a modified Morse Code\u2013short lines for dots, long lines for dashes. Had the ide of connecting the lines for each letter, and for each word.<\/p>\n

\"Pussy<\/p>\n

\"Pussy<\/p>\n

Bound Salix cuttings to the background to break up the text a bit.

Bound the catkins to the background with the hope of preventing them from falling off.

The only space left in my office that was long enough for the piece.
\n\"Pussy<\/p>\n

Note envelope attached to the back of the piece.

The notes regarding scale are a bit messy. Originally I had another piece of paper glued to the notes. I thought about writing out the lyrics, but decided not. When I removed the paper there was a bit of glue residue left. It prevented the lead from making clear marks.
\n\"Pussy<\/p>\n

It is a bother. I suspect I will erase the lot, remove the bit with glue and rewrite the notes.<\/p>\n

Materials\u2013Used packing envelope, paper, fiber, pussy willow cuttings.<\/p>\n

Scale\u201330.5″ x 12″ x .5″ without hanger. The addition of the hanger adds approximately 7″. <\/p>\n
