I love making these tiny scrolls from teabags adhered to Japanese paper....and here the scrolls unfurls to reveal a found text poem, On Such A Day As This. I create found text poems from old books in my studio (see other found text poems here in this shop section: http://www.etsy.com/shop/missouribendstudio?section_id=6818877). In this scroll, selective words have been cut from the page of an old children's book that was a vocabulary review after one of the stories....it read much like a multiple choice test and that flavor appears in this rather whimsical and silly poem which reads as follows:

To investigate is to
search
depart
wonder
run frantically
excited
solemn
exploring
saunter backward
forward
scamper walk run climb
stop
To wallow means to
wail
Calico is
a kind of mirror

The scroll was made by adhering dried used teabags to strips of Japanese paper with clear gel medium. The words were then held in place the same way with another bit of teabag. The title announced itself in the words from a different source and those are adhered on the front side. The scroll is held closed with a vintage button from my collection and a length of waxed linen thread. Be sure to check out all the views. Scroll measures 2" wide by approx. 33" long when fully open. It will come packaged nicely in it's own little organza drawstring bag.

This poem first appeared on March 30, 2011 on my found text poetry blog, MissouriBendPaperWorks, where I post a new poem each week. Have a look, if you are interested: http://www.missouribendpaperworks.blogspot.com
