"old money"

[Dan Hintz]

there was some "no fair. not really craft"

What did they want, spraypainted cotton balls stuck to toilet paper tubes and surrounded by craft-store ribbons?

[David Weaver]

Probably rubber band guns and yard ornament kits.

actually the stuff in the smithsonian craft show is generally off the chart great. really worth a look if you are near DC in mid april.

Randall, thanks for sharing this process. It is truly inspiring. You certainly have a wonderful gift and I always enjoy looking at your work. Looking forward to seeing more in the future.

Chuck

this week a Japanese TV station came and did an interview. they recreated "old money" and a few other kinda hokey bits.......but it was fun ....and they paid me.

i'm not going to rehash the whole process but here is a shot of the next box. its a commission based on the first one

[randall rosenthal]

my wife caren too this shot. it shows my work environment. i am not neat and orderly. color coding the tools has saved a lot of time(there are 4 x as many on the table as in the photo) as they are generally scattered about. the two six by sixes have saved a lot of time. i can stick the sculpture between them at all sorts of angles .

[Dan Hintz]

You're not taking time shots of the process The shot your wife took is just about perfect, but have her do it once an hour

[randall rosenthal]

dan...i documented the whole process like the first one. these are caren's shots. she has a bunch of me working and some interesting "hands shots". i'll post them shortly. i'm working on 5 other projects at the moment.

[randall rosenthal]

If the Smithsonian judges don't think your work is art,they are too close minded,and should not be judges.
