“1. Put on nail polish and let dry. 2. Dip fingernail in alcohol-basically any will do, vodka is suggested. 3. Press a strip of newspaper big enough to cover the whole nail on to your alcohol soaked nail. 4. Pull off slowly and be really impressed with yourself. 5. Paint top coat if desired. @Lindsey Gallier”

Amy Switzer: Word Bird: Mortimer
Amy Switzer: Word Bird: Mortimer, 2008, glass, wood, book pages, 4 x 1 x 6 inches (Paper bird) 19 x 10 x 10 inches (Glass case):
“Word Bird: Mortimer” was inspired by Schieffelin’s actions. The sculpture consists of a bird constructed from the pages of a copy of Shakespeare’s Henry IV. The pages were cut and layered to simulate feathers. The bird is the size of a starling. The bird sits perched in a glass case. It is isolated, almost sanctified, and in its beak it holds a thin strip of paper, which was cut from the book page.
