- here is a sneak peek of a 20 foot mobile i’m building for the orlando science center. the entire mobile is constructed from sheets of discarded cardboard layered and glued together to form a kind of recycled plywood.
- it’s really pretty cool to have a book dedicated to me! Liz Lanley’s “Crazy Little Thing” is in book stores across the nation. grab yourself a copy and read it. you’ll be very glad you did!
