Tissue Boxes, 2023

 A little pleasure for you,  A little softness for you, A little comfort for you.

A bed-shaped tissue box cover sits on a white exhibition shelf on a white wall. It’s needle pointed with a red pattered quilt and bed frame. A white frilly pillow lays near the headboard. The tissue comes out of the center of the bed.
A sofa-shaped tissue-box cover sits on a pedestal. It’s needled pointed with a floral pattern and has two small needle pointed pillows on top with lace trim. A tissue emerges from the center of the sofa.
A house-shaped tissue-box cover sits on a pedestal. It’s needled pointed with doors, windows, greenery and flowers. The tissue comes out the chimney like smoke.
