Never mind, this is very, very good. I love your story about the woman learning to count change. Not many people are able to do this once essential skill any more. They rely on the till to work out what they have to give back (assuming they have customers who use the 'folding stuff'!<BR/><BR/>This piece works on so many levels.

The feeling I get looking at it is that it is like a gameboard and the elements can switch instantly, as of course, they could theoretically! I can almost hear a little clicky sound in my head as I look at this.Terry Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650965451863656517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-57948829506653155172008-12-01T11:59:00.000-08:002008-12-01T11:59:00.000-08:00I agree.

I love the voting bundles and the pennies. I also love the sheer quality of the lutador. It's very interesting to see the little bundles under some of the blue pieces. It also gives it a tiny purple haze. That's what I think our country really is -- more purple that just red and blue.Deborah Boscherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630878222793439712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-71988759158810999352008-12-01T10:35:00.000-08:002008-12-01T10:35:00.000-08:00Oh, Helen, this is wonderful.

This is so striking to look at, even without understanding the symbolism of the components. Your details are quite perfect as symbols for electoral change. I love the graphics of the pennies and "voting" papers, too.

I admit I was a little concerned when you mentioned how many concepts you were going to pull together for this one, but you've done it beautifully. I'm smacking my head too that I would never have thought of this. I particularly love that it is changeable -- just like our politics!<BR/> ;-)Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-74747074302040393532008-12-01T08:47:00.000-08:002008-12-01T08:47:00.000-08:00I love how each of your quilts makes us think!

You use surprising elements and you make us think.
