attract more participants... there were only several
interested fluxlisters, and the project warrants more than
that. I had been thinking of using small rusted metal tins

I went to the Container Store last night. I don't like the idea of the store, a place
to buy stuff to put your stuff in: I am totally a stuff qua stuff kind of guy myself.
Some items I saw there that could be useful to us:
a) Plastic bags: 9 x 12 plastic, ziploc: about $0.23 each
b) Clear
I like the jar unless it's really to fragile, in that case I would go for the
globe. Thanks for doing the research.

i have a great fondness for cigar boxes, is it possible to buy them anymore? even so a
box of that size would accomodate the CDR. i liked the idea someone had of having
wooden boxes made in mexico.
i'm going into town today and will look around, not many places to search here.
bests, carol
just measured the CDR and case is 5x5.75 inches. the globe sounds really cool morei
think about it. carol

give some indications of the relationship between ideas, brainstorming,

May good ideas about containers - I think the globe sounds interesting, particularly

Ahgg, no, don't use degradable anything, please! This is a librarian
speaking! The sphere sounds good, tho it would be hard, perhaps, to get a
label to stick well to it. Have to use permanent labels, I guess. And
be big enough to hold that CD.

Ah, yes - One of my pieces (Salt Water) was purchased by a book arts collection and
then sent back to me when they realized that the work consisted of a metal can filled
with salt water

As a librarian are you opposed to degradable in any form, for instance
a print printed with toner which is not fused, that slowly rubs off the
more that you handle it? Or mycelium which might fruit given the
proper humidity. Two examples off the top of my head. I see the reason
not to
I'm enjoying this box discussion so much I'm thinking it might be
interesting to make containers the theme of this project. Lots of little
individual-contributed containers, packed nicely together, holding only
themselves. Well...okay...I'll just go back to lurking.

Im assuming the paper was dried quickly but not sure how alison did it.
I have some other handmade paper with seed sandwiched between 2
pieces. I have seen alfalfa sprouts actually germinating in someone
else's paper.
It's an idea that has been around. Also there is organic seed company

It is always nice to have stuff from Canal street...nice historical
