Hi Reg,
I just read the last comment on your page which I believe was intended for me but I never received it. If it was, here's the answer to your question. For years I was lucky enough to spend much of the winter in the Carribean where I aquired a taste (addiction) for beachcombing. I'd bring my finds home and make art out of them. After plastic bottles the thing we find most often on the worlds coastlines is footwear and in the tropics, 75% of it consists of flip flops. I became fascinated with them and the voyages they could have possibly taken. Being made of foam they can drift far and wide for years before making landfall. South America, other islands, Africa even China. I became especially fond of the really old, cracked monochrome ones. The new designer, multicolored ones I left behind.
I made quite a few pieces with them and had quite a collection, most of which has since been lost due to some unfortunate circumstances. So when I got into
mailart earlier this year I just naturally went with flip flops. I may start a new blog and divide it flip flops/ other work , I not sure. I've been meaning to write up an explanation and add it to the "about me" part of my blog.
My problem is that I don't make it to the beach very often any more and I'm running out of raw material. If you come across any in your travels donations are always accepted, the older the better. Hope that answers your question.
Peter
