found-art: Weathergram 119 FOUND!!!!!!!!!

Sunday 18 April 2010

Made with decorative paper, postage stamp, ribbon

To be lost in London between 29th and 31st May 2010. Let me know where/when it turns up!

Anonymous said...: Found! I can't say exactly when, since it sat in my jacket pocket for a while, but I'm certain it was earlier than late May when you were due to lose it. I would guess it was late April/early May. I found it on railings by a bush on Salter Road, London SE16, close to Surrey Water and the little lock before the River. Sadly, though I tried hard to remove it intact, the ribbon was tied too tight. I had to rip it off, leaving the ribbon behind. The fish part tore in the process, but opened up, it now makes a butterfly!

I use found papers as bookmarks for one book each, so this will accompany my next book, probably Light in August, or maybe Of Love and Other Demons. It will live in the book thereafter.

The lock is now home to two young bibbed ducks, whose mother flew off, after an unusually long nurturing, a week or two ago. They will follow soon. Surrey Water, the large pond to the other side of the road, has experienced tragedy: fighting among the swans has left one dead (hit a bridge trying to escape) and the father of the family in hospital. Two of his other children are trying to take over the territory.

Thank you for creating and losing the art, it made a lovely surprise on my walk that day in spring.; 8 August 2010 at 22:06
