This piece needs a new home.
You wonder why I say that, don’t you? Perhaps you think it’s an affectation, saying that something “needs a new home.” But no: this piece really needs a new home.
I have all my fabric pieces on the wall in the living room. Every once in a while, when all the windows are open and the wind is really blowing, some few of them will blow off the wall. No big deal. But this one? It will not stay on the wall. Ever. I go in, and it’s on the floor. I put it back in its place and go in again, and it’s behind the couch. Once we found it in the trash can. It leaps off the wall even when the windows are closed. I think it’s trying to escape, and so I have decided that it believes it has A Better Home out there somewhere and is trying to find it. Apparently my job is to help.
If you know where its Real Home is, let me know by Friday, when we’ll get it ready to move out into the world where it can be happy and quit flinging itself around the living room.

I love this piece and feel it would be such an enhancement..I am an Afro-Canadian Womin beginning to get pieces that support my culture.I am doing a one year artist in residency and your awesome piece would bless my art studio wall.

i love this story and maybe it's already found it's home! cool!
This is a wonderful piece.
I am coming up on the one year anniversary of losing my brother to cancer. We are not "of color" (I am at least as pale as you are and have been accused of having legs that "glow in the dark").
I am putting together a reading/music room now that my daughter and her two little girls have moved out and maybe he would choose to stay in that room.

Ooooo, I would love this piece, I think he is needing some more colorful patches around him. I would add him to a crazy quilt wall hanging that I am making. I have adopted various people who I don't know and put them at home on my quilt. My sister gets mad talking about this is not your family, but, it is my quilt and it is my tribe on the quilt. He reminds me of Marvin Gaye singing, "What's going, what's going on, can you tell me what's going on?"Brenda R.
I'd like to have this piece just because I like it and because I have known bereftness.
Happy days,
Joanie
I feel so lucky that I have "Thelma" hanging around my house..
What fun the "brother" will have at someone's home, as well as a piece of you!
I wish the Brother could come live with me and remind me to keep a kind and open heart for the many Lifestyle Challenged guys that frequent my neighborhood. I used to answer their requests for spare change with a pat line: "I got a brother just like you and I don't give HIM money." In the end, after my brother suicided in February, I paid for his cremation. Compassion is a tough one.
Man I hope I am not to late. I absolutely as drooling at the mouth over this.
