The Cardboard Cobbler rides again!!!

Howdy to long time Cardboard Cobbler followers and new friends alike!  The transition from the original blog  (phrancthecardboardcobbler.blogspot.com), which is archived here) has been a little sketchy. Don’t worry I am working it out. I always want to share with you cool cardboard in the making. Just to get you up to date, this past December I was in Sun Valley, Idaho at The Friesen Gallery showing “it Happened in Sun Valley” Cardboard and kraft paper sculptures reflecting the life and times and outfits of the iconic Sun Valley ski resort. Upon returning home to my catastrophic mess of a studio I have begun to clear a path to my next show which will be around X-mas 2015 at the Craig Krull Gallery in Santa Monica, California. Just last weekend I was visiting with Jill Burnham and about eighty local educators at The Los Angeles Opera where we crafted tiny paper vests in honor of the The Marriage of Figaro which was written during the French Revolution. It’s a pretty long story but in 2010 I saw an exhibit at Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail, 1700–1915 ..and saw this amazing vest! It’s the great great great great Grandmother of Todays political T-Shirt! So here’s the video tutorial  I created for the workshop and a link to a affectionate review  of said vest.
